Her face had a few freckles and her mouth was a trifle too large. But, in it were splendid teeth. In short, by the magic of brilliant color and natural grace she narrowly escaped being extremely handsome  in the way of a sunburned peach, or a maiden's blush apple.

retty dress was pinned far enough back to reveal the prettier petticoat--plus a pair of trimly-clad ankles. Perhaps these were neither the garments nor the airs in which every farmer-maiden did her baking. But then, Sally was no ordinary farmer-maiden. She was all this, it is true, but she was, besides, grace and color and charm itself. And if she chose to bake in such attire--or, even, if she chose to pretend to do so, where was the churl to say her nay, even though the flour was part of a deliberate "make up"? Certainly he was not at the store that summer morning. And Seffy was there. Her hair escaped redness by only a little. But that little was just the difference between ugliness and beauty. For, whether Sally were beautiful or not--about which we might contend a bit--her hair was, and perhaps that is the reason why it was nearly always uncovered--or, possibly, again, because it was so much uncovered was the reason it was beautiful. It seemed to catch some of the glory of the sun. THERWISE AGGRESSIVE COLOUR THE PRETTY DRESS WAS PENNED FAR ENOUGH BACK TO REVEAL THE PRETTIER PETTICOAT PLUS A PAIR OF TRIMLY CLAD ANKLES PERHAPS THESE ARE NEITHER THE GARMENTS NOR THE EARS IN WHICH EVERY FARMER MAIDEN DID HER BAKING BUT THEN SALLY WAS NO ORDINARY FARMER MAIDEN SHE WAS ALL THIS IT IS TRUE BUT SHE WAS BESIDES GRACE AND COLOR AND CHARM ITSELF AND IF SHE CHOSE TO BAKE IN SUCH AN ATTIRE OR EVEN IF SHE CHOSE TO PRETEND TO DO SO WHERE WAS THE CHURL TO SAY HER NAME EVEN THOUGH THE FLOWER WAS PART OF A DELIVERED MAKEUP CERTAINLY HE WAS NOT AT THE STORE THAT SUMMER MORNING AND SEPPIE WAS THERE HER HAIR ESAPED REDNESS BY ONLY A LITTLE BUT THAT LITTLE WAS JUST THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UGLINESS AND BEAUTY FOR WHETHER SALLY WERE BEAUTIFUL OR NOT ABOUT WHICH WE MIGHT CONTEND A BIT HER HAIR WAS AND PERHAPS THAT IS THE REASON WHY IT IS NEARLY ALWAYS UNCOVERED OR POSSIBLY AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS SO MUCH UNCOVERED WAS THE REASON IT WAS BEAUTIFUL IT SEEMED TO CATCH SOME OF THE GLORY OF THE SUN
