Ivy Walker: Why are you on this porch? There are other porches.
Do you find me too much of a tomboy? I do long to do boy things, like
the game the boys play at the stump. They stand with their back to the
woods and see how long they can wait without getting scared. It's so exciting.
I understand you hold the record. It will never be beaten, they say. How
is it you are brave when the rest of us shake in our boots? I saw you
at the window. And no, I won't tell you your color. Stop asking! When
we are married, will you dance with me? I find dancing very agreeable.
Why can you not say what is in your head?
