"Unruffled by her husband's quick rage, Rebecca continued, "You know the Bennetts are a good-for-nuthin lot! Everybody knows they live on rocking-chair money. They're not worth getting upset about."
Brent was not placated. "Damn it all, woman! A man deserves to be paid for his labour! Listening to you a body would think I had fox money hidden in my sock. I got enough to do supportin' this family. I can't keep extendin' credit I can't afford to the likes of Jarvis Bennett! I'm kept busy from mornin' to night!"

"I'm not crying. Stop asking foolish questions and eat your supper," Rebecca snapped. She left the table, walked with purpose over to the stove and ladled more vegetables from the dipper into a bowl. Her back to her family, she lifted the hem of her cotton print pinny and made impatient dabs at her eyes. "
