[Ethlyn leans an elbow against the fence. Less was all I knew. She has a hard time figuring out people by their clothes here, and so she hadn't suspected that Noel would be a person to say that kind of thing.
She can't say that she feels envy, although... there are some things here that would have been a godsend in Jugdral. When you have a bottle of iodine, for example, you don't have to ever worry about gangrene. Nobody has to bite down on a strap of leather to keep from screaming if they need surgery. And you don't have to hurry to churn the milk or make it to cheese--keep it cold and you have one pail for the whole week, sweet and fresh.]
It makes me want to scold people, sometimes. There are so many things here--little things, even--that I didn't have at home. And having them would have made life better for so many people. They may even have kept people from making war.
