wasn't shamed as she had expected; he was
delighted!

Cutter often threatened to chop down the
cedar trees which half-buried the house. His
wife declared she would leave him if she were
stripped of the "privacy" which she felt these
trees afforded her. That was his opportunity,
surely; but he never cut down the trees. The
Cutters seemed to find their relations to each
other interesting and stimulating, and cer-
tainly the rest of us found them so. Wick
Cutter was different from any other rascal I
have ever known, but I have found Mrs.
Cutters all over the world; sometimes found-
ing new religions, sometimes being forcibly
fed -- easily recognizable, even when superfi-
cially tamed.
