If you knew Mrs. Wiley as well as I do you would n't think God would want to meddle with her . Anyhow , I wo n't cry any more about it . This is a big sight better 'n last night down in that old barn , with the mice running about . Look at the Four Winds light . Ai n't it pretty ? '' `` This is the only window we can see it from , '' said Una . `` I love to watch it . '' `` Do you ? So do I. I could see it from the Wiley loft and it was the only comfort I had . When I was all sore from being licked I 'd watch it and forget about the places that hurt . I 'd think of the ships sailing away and away from it and wish I was on one of them sailing far away too -- away from everything . On winter nights when it did n't shine , I just felt real lonesome . Say , Una , what makes all you folks so kind to me when I 'm just a stranger ? '' `` Because it 's right to be . The bible tells us to be kind to everybody . '' `` Does it ? Well , I guess most folks do n't mind it much then . I never remember of any one being kind to me before -- true 's you live I do n't . Say , Una , ai n't them shadows on the walls pretty ? They look just like a flock of little dancing birds .
And say , XXXXX , I like all you folks and them Blythe boys and Di , but I do n't like that Nan .
God Una Wiley Winds barn everybody night nights right sight
