In time it came about that every house where there were children, or a reasonable hope of them, had secret cubby-holes back of the thick adobe walls; with little doors which shut flush with the wall and were also plastered with adobe, so that when they were shut a stranger--even if he were a sharp-eyed Indian--would never dream of their existence.

Who acts: way, children, little doors, child, men · What happens: come, be, have, flush, plaster, shut · To what, where: reasonable hope, secret cubby holes, men
