Additional Information:
"The Waltzes were not Quakers, and Lee had made a fiddle, and could play it, indeed, was known all his life as quite an artist. And they could dance, and they taught Lide and Said how to dance. Little Phoebe was not old enough, but she was a witness of their secret, and it gave her a hold over them that she used very effectively, by threatening to tell Pap that they danced. On one occasion her displeasure was so pronounced that she could not be coaxed or cajoled, and it seemed certain that their grievous sin would be exposed. The family of five were gathered at the supper table, and young Phoebe filling the young hearts across the table with dread by many a knowing nod and gesture, at last broke the silence. 'Pap! Oh Pap! -- Say, Pap!' 'What is it, Phoebe?' 'Do cars run through the fields?' "
