<p>Sitting beside the road, watching the wagon mount
the hill toward her, Lena thinks, `I have come from Alabama:
a fur piece. All the way from Alabama a-walking. A fur
piece.' Thinking <i>although I have not been quite a month on
the road I am already in Mississippi, further from home than
I have ever been before. I am now further from Doane's Mill
than I have been since I was twelve years old</i>
<p>She had never even been to Doane's Mill until after
her father and mother died, though six or eight times a year
she went to town on Saturday, in the wagon, in a mailorder
dress and her bare feet flat in the wagon bed and her shoes
wrapped in a piece of paper beside her on the seat. . . .
