Paul Rundel CHAPTER I FROM the window of her husbands shop in the motintain-village of Grayson, Cynthia Tye stood peering out on theS quare. She was tall, gaunt, and thin so thin, in fact, that her fingers, pricked by her needle and gnarled at the joints, had a hold in energy only, as she pressed them down on her contourless hips. She had left her work in the living-room and kitchen back of the shop and come in to question the shoemaker as to what he wanted for his dinner, the boiling and stewing hour having arrived. Silas, whose sedentary occupation had supplied him with the surplus flesh his wife needed, and whose genial pate was as bald as an egg, save for a bare fringe of gray which overlapped his ears on the sides and impinged upon his shirt-collar behind, looked up and smiled broadly. I wish youd quit that, C3nithy. I really do.
