Maybe you remember how Aunty played up her skittish symptoms about them same bonds a few weeks back, the time she planned to exhibit me to Vee in my office boy job and got so badly jolted when she finds me posin' as a private sec instead? Went away real peeved, Aunty did that time. And now it looks like she was takin' it out by unloadin' her bond holdin's.
Corbin, as I do, and make aunty think better of you, for it was good what you tried to do for her and the fammely, and I've always said it when she was raging round and wanting money of you. I don't believe you meant to do it anyway, owin' to your kindness of heart to the ophanless and the widow since you did it. Anser this letter, and don't mind what aunty says.
In response to the knock the Squire opened the door. He looked as if he had had a fit of sickness, so deeply had the marks of chagrin and despite impressed itself on his face in the past two days. "I'm going out for a little while," said Desire, "and you will go to Aunty, if she calls, won't you?"
Then the lady I call Aunty May, though she isn't any relation to me either, but is just Aunty Edith's friend, laughed and said she would be careful to treat me nicely. And she has. I like her best next to Uncle Burt. She didn't cry.
'It felt good, as Patty said afterwards; 'sort of warm and comfortable in my heart, and I liked it ever so much. She stayed an hour, making sunshine in a shady place, and then ran home, wondering if Aunt Pen would find that out. She found her sitting with her hands before her, and such a sad look in her face that Patty ran to her, saying anxiously 'What's the matter, aunty? Are you sick?
I should like to be just such a bright, loving wife as Aunty is; to have my husband lean on me as Uncle leans on her; to have just as many children, and to train them as wisely and kindly us she does hers. Then, I should feel that I had not been born in vain, but had a high and sacred mission on earth. But as it is, I must just pick up what scraps of usefulness I can, and let the rest go.
Aunty Sagu cooks well and I enjoyed her food but both she and Uncle Mano would notice that I ate much more when there was chicken or fish for dinner rather than vegetarian food and I would get a lecture again for my poor appetite for simple food.
I showed Aunty Edith the house, and she told me all about her journey, and how long it took her, and how sick Uncle Burt was then, and how much better he was now; and that though he would always walk with a limp, he wouldn't need a crutch, which made me very glad. Then Uncle Burt and Aunty May came in, and Aunty Edith kissed Aunty May and they went to take off Aunty Edith's hat.
I must go, Aunty, I must no matter what the danger is," cried Rose, full of a tender jealousy of Phebe for being first to brave peril for the sake of him who had been a father to them both. "You can't go, dear, it's no use now, and she is right to say, 'Keep away. I know those fevers, and the ones who nurse often take it, and fare worse for the strain they've been through.
Jordan, does yo' know what's der matter wid ye? "I told her I didn't; thet I'd give a band o' cattle ter find out. "'Laws, says she, 'I'd tell cheaper'n dat, only yo'd think I is sassy. "I said: 'Aunty, yo' goahead. If yo's sassy, I's too sick to care. "'Why, bless yo' soul, honey, says she, 'yo's jest ded in lub wid the schoolma'm, Mrs. Margaret. I noze. I's been dar myself.
