About this book

In At the Little Brown House by Ruth Brown MacArthur, a character named Peace brings a man his breakfast after the heap of split stove-wood has grown, and tells him that Gail cooked it. Peace says that Faith is cross every time she makes a cake, and that Faith is baking a cake for the minister's reception tonight.

Three sunbonneted figures hurry down the road to Mr. Hartman's lower pasture with big pails and Allee's red wagon, meaning to pick all the berries they could for Faith's jelly. Peace asks whether Cherry can see the Skinflint's bull anywhere, and Cherry, looking over the field from her perch on the top rail, answers that there isn't a thing stirring. Peace ushers the guests into the shabby parlor and chatters excitedly, asking Mr. Strong if he does not like drumsticks the best.
