But the older you get the worse you get. Anyway, if _I_ wanted to go to auctions, I‚Äôd select them as was something like, and not waste my time on little one-horse affairs like this of Garland‚Äôs.‚ÄĚ ‚ÄúOne might pick up something real cheap at Garland‚Äôs,‚ÄĚ said Pa defensively. ‚ÄúWell, you are not going to pick up anything, cheap or otherwise, Pa Sloane, because I‚Äôm going with you to see that you don‚Äôt. I know I can‚Äôt stop you from going. I might as well try to stop the wind from blowing. But I shall go, too, out of self-defence. This house is so full now of old clutter and truck that you‚Äôve brought home 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.
