At last, between her dry lips, came a harsh whisper.
"Elnora, what did you give back for these things ?" "I'll show you," said Elnora cheerfully.

"I made the same gifts for the Bird Woman, Aunt Margaret and you if you care for it.

But I have to run upstairs to get it." When she returned she handed her mother an oblong frame, hand carved, enclosing Elnora's picture, taken by a schoolmate's camera.

She wore her storm-coat and carried a dripping umbrella.

From under it looked her bright face; her books and lunchbox were on her arm, and across the bottom of the frame was carved, "Your Country Classmate." Then she offered another frame.
"I am strong on frames," she said.
