"[...] "That old rooster have got rheumatiz, Roxy, and now he'll die with no pill for it," said Lovelace, as he worked his dirty little finger down after the mud and bread; but he got it out and the poor old chicken hopped off with all his feathers ruffled up and stretching his neck as if to try it. "Oh, Lovey, please don't kill the chickens," Roxanne said in a tone of real pleading. "I don't never kill nothing, Roxy," he answered indignantly. "If a thing can't get well from me doctoring it, it dies 'cause it wants to. Since Uncle Pomp let me put that mixtry of nice mud and brick dust on his shoe he don't suffer with his frost-bit heel no more. He's going to stop limping next week if I put it on every day.

Phyllis's friendship with Roxanne is delightful, reminiscent of Anne and Diana's in Anne of Green Gables, although Roxanne is more sprightly the Diana. Phyllis herself is a delightful heroine, with a wonderful quaint voice - she's meant to sound quaint; it's not just an artifact of the fact that the book was written a hundred years ago, though doubtless that amplifies it. Passages like this:"I went in to unfasten Roxanne's dress and to get mine done likewise, then I could slip home through the garden, which is always so lovely with the moonlight making ghost flowers of Roxanne's ancestral blossoms."Ghost flowers: a lovely picture. Another quality I love in books of this time period is that sensitivity to nature, the lovely descriptions of flowers and trees and the strong sense of place. Modern teenage and children's books often seem to take place in Anywhere, USA, which is unfortunate. All places, no matter how dull and featureless they may feel, are specific.

I mostly love this author, but the book was written at a period when there was racial discrimination, which you will occasionally bump into in her work. Also, sometimes the scanning leaves some errors in the text.
