{"product_id":"2940016445267","title":"Phoebe Deane by Grace Livingston Hill","description":"Excerpt:\u003cbr\u003e Phoebe had never liked Hiram Green since the day she had seen him shove his wife out of his way and say to her roughly, \"Aw, shut up, can't you? Women are forever talking about what they don't understand!\" She had watched the faint color flicker into the white-cheeked wife's face and then flicker out whitely again as she tried to laugh his roughness off before Phoebe, but the girl had never forgotten it. She had been but a little girl, then, very shy and quiet, almost a stranger in the town, for her mother had just died and she had come to live with the half-brother who had been married so long that he was almost a stranger to her. Hiram Green had not noticed the young girl then, and had treated his wife as if no one were present. But Phoebe had remembered. She had grown to know and love the sad wife, to watch her gentle, patient ways with her boisterous boys, and her blowsy little girl who looked like Hiram and had none of her mother's delicacy; and her heart used to fill with indignation over the rude ways of the coarse man with his wife.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e            Hiram Green's wife had been dead a year. Phoebe had been with her for a week before she died, and watched the stolid husband with never a shadow of anxiety in his eyes while he told the neighbors that \"Annie would be all right in a few days. It was her own fault, anyway, that she got down sick. She would drive over to see her mother when she wasn't able.\" He neglected to state that she had been making preserves and jelly for his special benefit, and had prepared dinner for twelve men who were harvesting for a week. He did not state that she only went to see her mother once in six months, and it was her only holiday.","brand":"Unforgotten Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071385420016,"sku":"2940016445267","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016445267_p0.jpg?v=1763635769","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016445267","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
