"Kill him!" he repeated: "I should say not! Why, he's your Uncle Abner
and Rebecca Timpson's sister Medora and old Laban Eldredge and I don't
know how many more. Killin' him would be a double back-action massacre.
No indeed, we won't kill him! Come on, let's go out and have a look at
him now. I'd like to shake his hand, if he had one."
"But, Obed, it's rainin'."
"What of it? We don't care for rain. It's goin' to be all sunshine for
you after this, my lady. I'm the weather prophet and I tell you so. God
bless you, Thankful Barnes."
Thankful smiled.
"He has blessed me already, Obed," she said.
