"Stars are good too. I wish I could get some to put in my hair. But I suppose I never can. You would be surprised to find how far off they are for they do not look it. When they first showed last night I tried to knock some down with a pole but it didn't reach which astonished me; then I tried clods till I was all tired out but I never got one. It was because I am left-handed and cannot throw good. Even when I aimed at the one I wasn't after I couldn't hit the other one though I did make some close shots for I saw the black blot of the clod sail right into the midst of the golden clusters forty or fifty times just barely missing them and if I could have held out a little longer maybe I could have got one."
