Chapter VII
They went down through the corn and out by a gate, set in the gray and lichened rail fence, where grew sumac and farewell-summer and the feathery traveler's-joy. They walked in meadows by the river, and at last through the orchard, and so to the house. Mimy, in the kitchen, was singing: "Oh, Jesus tell you once befo', Babylon's fallin' to rise no mo'. Oh, go in peace and sin no mo', Babylon's fallin' to rise no mo'!"
