Zilphia Gant's Friend's House (Location Key)

Of the houses "in three different parts of town" that are home to the three girls whom Zilphia tells her mother she would like to visit, this is the one that Mrs. Gant gives her "permission to visit" ("Miss Zilphia Gant," 373). On its property is also a "barn" where the two girls play in good weather, and "behind the barn" there is "a short pasture [that] slopes to a ditch where scrub cedars grew"; in this ditch Mrs. Gant sits to keep watch on her daughter until it is time for them to return home together (373).
