all 'cepting my mama and Miss Cecilia kiss me. But Leon is 'bout
the kissingest kid they is; why, he'd just as soon's not let
Frances and Lina kiss him; he ain't got no better sense. 'Course
I gotta let Miss Cecilia kiss me 'cause she's 'bout the plumpest

what the Bible say. You 'd better call him back, Frances, and
kiss him, you and Lina 're so stuck on him."
"I wouldn't kiss him to save his life," declared Frances;
"he's got the spindliest legs I ever saw."
