8. Cousin Nancy

Strode across the hills and broke them,
Rode across the hills and broke them—
The barren New England hills—
Riding to hounds
Over the cow-pasture.
And danced all the modern dances;
And her aunts were not quite sure how they felt about it,
But they knew that it was modern.
Matthew and Waldo, guardians of the faith,
The army of unalterable law.
