The farmhouse is peaceful today, and Harriet takes her father by the hand into the field so that they can look for worms and splash in the muddy puddles. She lets go so that she can poke at a few of the worms that are large and spindly. Her mother trails behind them only to whisk her wand and make the nearest puddle get her father. He gets her back by jumping into the one next to her and splashing mud up onto her fine-looking blue coat.
