"Is frank her husband?"
"Yes. He's one of these wild fellows. Most Bohemians are good-natured, but frank thinks we don't appreciate him here, I guess. He's jealous about everything, his farm and his horses and his pretty wife. everybody likes her, just the same as when she was little.Sometimes I go up to the Catholic church with emil,and it's funny to see Marie standing there laughing and shaking hands with people, looking so excited and gay, with frank sulking behind her as if he could eat everybody alive. frank's not a bad neighbor, but to get on with him you've got to make a fuss over him and act as if you thought he was a very important person all the time, and different from other people. I find it hard to keep that up from one year's end to another."
