This chapter is in the flashback.

It is the fifth of July, Mattie's birthday and she thinks that everyone has forgotten, she is turning 17. Earlier she was sweeping so Fran said that Cook had tripped over the broom that she (hadn't) left out. On the way to the kitchen she thought about the fight she had had about the Hubbard's land with Royal. He said that it was good farming land and he wanted Emmie Hubbard gone, because he knew that she was messing around with his father. When she got to the kitchen everyone yelled surprise, and Cook came out with a sheet cake. She also got a sugar sack full of presents, a painting from the Hubbards, homemade cards from her sisters, Candies from her aunt and uncle, and a composition book from her Pa. Then Royal came with his present, a cookbook. She had thought it was literature and her doubts were gone that he hadn't loved her, but then they came back when she realized it was a cookbook. She tried to like it.
