Excerpt from The Scarecrow and Other Stories Ben - " The woman stood in the doorway of the ramshackle, tumble-down shanty. Her hands were cupped at her mouth. The wind blew loose, whitish blond wisps of hair around her face and slashed the faded blue dress into the uncorseted bulk of her body. "Benny - oh, Benny - " Her call echoed through the still evening. Her eyes staring straight before her down the slope in front of the house caught sight of something blue and antiquatedly military standing waist deep and rigid in the com field. "That ole scarecrow," she muttered to herself, "that there old scarecrow with that there ole uniform onto him, tool" The sun was going slowly just beyond the farthest hill. The unreal light of the skies' reflected colors held over the yellow, waving tips of the corn field. "Benny -," she called again. "Oh - Benny!" And then she saw him coming toward her trudging up the hill. She waited until he stood in front of her. "Supper, Ben," she said. "Was you down in the south meadow where you couldn't hear me call?"
