Page "mystery" Paragraph 651
from
Brown Corpus
Mrs. Holden turned from the window draperies.
`` They found something else up there '', she said half-aloud to the empty room.
`` They took it away, overalls or something ''.
She walked restlessly across the room, then back to the windows.
`` Now they've gone, they didn't come back, and they didn't arrest that Dronk boy ''.
She stood frowning and chewing her lip.
She was wearing a brown cotton dress, cut across the hips in a way that was supposed to make her look slimmer, a yoke set into the skirt and flaring pleats below.
She smoothed the skirt, sat down, then stood up and went back to the windows.
`` Why on earth did I send him off to work??
There was excuse enough to keep him home that young Mr. Arthur's still over there ''.
