About this book

A conversation in The Brimming Cup turns to keeping house, learning to cook and the excitement of having a home of one's own. The speaker warns that the old house needs considerable work, complaining about inadequate pantry arrangements and demanding a better cooking stove. Neale feels tired and out of sorts, deciding against joining Eugenia and Marsh because their talk wears him out.

Neale puts down a casting and walks into the freight-house, calling to Charlie about mandrels that have arrived. Marise glances at Eugenia and sees an expression on her face that she takes to be annoyance at a breach of manners.
