Inflated by success, B. H. shopped for percale. She decided that red and white checks made the best showing, though she was torn be- tween that pattern and one dotted with large pink coin-spots on a white ground. She bought two yards, planning on making two ele- phants. My besetting sin is making two blades of grass grow where. only one grew before. Given material enough to make two elephants, this idiosyn- cracy demands that I squeeze out piecing and contriving. B. H. had been making elephants in all her spare time.
