Miss Mamie and Miss Emily have a young cousin staying with them, Mary Francis Conover. She and Jim Bob Walton meet when a kite he is flying becomes tangled up in a tree. Mary Francis climbs the tree to get the kite down, while Jim Bob is trying to find it by following the string. He comes across both the kite and Mary Francis stuck near the top of the tree. Jim Bob is in love. The two of them have a wonderful time together, but there is something that Mary Francis is not telling him.
Corabeth is appalled at finding that Jim Bob and Mary Francis are dating, because she has discovered that Mary Francis is not one of their kind. What she means is that she is Catholic.
