To add insult to injury this was the second dasher churn Pa had bought at auction. That settled it. Ma decreed that henceforth she would chaperon Pa when he went to auctions. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THIS WAS THE SECOND DASHER CHURN PA HAD BOUGHT AN AUCTION THAT FILLED IT MY DECREED THAT HENCEFORTH SHE WOULD CHAP ON PA WHEN HE WENT TO AUCTION'S
me from auctions that I feel as if I was made up out of pieces and left overs.‚ÄĚ Pa Sloane sighed again. It was not exhilarating to attend an auction with Ma. She would never let him bid on anything. But he realized that Ma‚Äôs mind was made up beyond the power of mortal man‚Äôs persuasion to alter it, so he went out to hitch up. Pa Sloane‚Äôs dissipation was going to auctions and buying things that nobody else would buy. Ma Sloane‚Äôs patient endeavours of over thirty years had been able to effect only a partial reform. Sometimes Pa heroically refrained from going to an auction for six months at a time; then he would break out worse than ever, go to all that took place for miles around, and come home with a wagonful of misfits. His last exploit had been to bid on an old dasher churn for five dollars--the boys ‚Äúran things up‚ÄĚ on Pa Sloane for the fun of it--and bring it home to outraged Ma, who had made her butter for fifteen years in the very latest, most up-to-date barrel churn.
