About this book

Across the fence between their houses, Susan Clegg talks and Mrs. Lathrop listens, often chewing the petals of red clover. Anne Warner builds these humorous stories around the friendship of two neighbors whose everyday conversations turn household duties and local affairs into comedy. Susan has spent years caring for her bedridden father, but she begins to consider marriage with the same practical attention she gives to coal bills, sewing and the arrangements of her home.

The collection's five chapters include Susan's marriage plans, Mrs. Lathrop's son Jathrop, a troublesome cow, a cousin and the minister's vacation. Susan brings her friend food and a lively report of the confusion caused by the cow, including the minister's visitors and a dispute over broken cups.
