Sister Cal'line Potts was a silent woman. Did all of her laughing down / inside, but did the thing that kept the town in an uproar of laughter. / It was the general opinion of the village that Cal'line would do / anything she had a mind to. And she had a mind to do several things.
Mitchell Potts, her husband, had a weakness for women. No one ever / believed that she was jealous. She did things to the women, surely. But / most any townsman would have said that she did them because she liked / the novel situation and the queer things she could bring out of it.
