"It was very curious."

“Why, after the last snake had been gone for a week, Aunt Sally hadnt got over it; when she was sitting thinking about something, you could touch her on the back of her neck with a feather and she would jump right out of her stockings. It was very curious. But Tom said all women were just so. He said they were made that way, for some reason or other.”
