For the richest man in town, Cy Cummings's house is not too differentThe Cummingses built it thirty years ago at a time when it stood all alone on the edge of town and you walked to your thighs in mud to reach it in early fall and springBut the town has encompassed it now and there is not much Cy Cummings can do in the way of improvements
The worst of the changes you can blame on his wifeThe folks who know them say it's her fault, a fancy eastern woman with CultureCy's a hard man, but he isn't a fancy one, and that new front door with all the windowpanes on the bias is something FrenchShe's mentioned the name at church meeting, Newvelle somethingAnd Cy Cummings has even turned High Episcopal for her, was instrumental in getting the 'Piscopal church |
