Excerpt from Delightful Dodd
A young woman - quiet, self-possessed, with the air of one who was accustomed to think and act for herself - stepped from the kitchen door of the farmhouse and walked briskly toward the barn. In the well-worn path she met a man, moving with the deliberate stride of weight and strength in the direction of the house.
"Can you get me to the 9.20 train?" she asked.
He looked at her, and then at a big silver watch that he carried.
"Be ready in five minutes," he said. Neither hurried, but neither lost any time. His favourite horse already had the harness on, and he had only to bring it out and hitch it to the side-bar buggy.
