I suggested a scheme to save the wastage of child life resulting from the death of parents and the scattering of their babies; and also to provide for the widows and aged. This problem had haunted me from boyhood when, as I have told, I was the bearer of death news to the widows and orphans of the mill town. I felt that the Loyal Order of Moose could cope with this problem.
There was a crowd at Jerusalem Four Corners when we got there. Every moment some family was arriving in a panic the men, like my father, with guns and babies and baskets. The women, with the young, took refuge at once in the tavern, while the men surrounded it. Inside the line were youths, some oddly armed with slings or clubs or cross-guns.
In a strange town, among strangers, with a number of ladies visiting me who talked only of servants and babies troubles of which I knew nothing who were profoundly uninterested in everything that had formed my previous life, in theology, in politics, in questions of social reform, and who looked on me as "strange" because I cared more for the great struggles outside than for the discussions of a housemaid's young man, or the amount of "butter when dripping would have done perfectly well, my dear," used by the cook under such circumstances it will not seem marvellous that I felt somewhat forlorn.
These are merely a pair of shafts fastened on either side of the animal, and trailing on the ground behind. A large basket suspended between the poles, just above the ground, supplied a place for goods and a safe nest for the babies, or an occasional helpless old woman. Most of our effects were carried by pack ponies; and an Indian packer excels all others in quickness and dexterity.
Nuts, again, have generally been credited with propitious qualities, and have accordingly been extensively used for divination. In some mysterious way, too, they are supposed to influence the population, for when plentiful, there is said to be a corresponding increase of babies.
And just as if Mammy could love her little dirty babies as I love Eva! Yet St. Clare once really and soberly tried to persuade me that it was my duty, with my weak health, and all I suffer, to let Mammy go back, and take somebody else in her place. That was a little too much even for me to bear.
"I say we've called her 'Second Fiddle' long enough," he said, and hesitated, beginning to get stranded in his own eloquence. "Anyhow, if she hasn't proved this year that she's fit to play anything dishes or wall-paper or babies " He stopped, laughing. "I don't know how to say it, but as sure as my name's Jefferson Birch she er " "Hear! hear!" the captain encouraged him softly.
Why, them tenderfeet used to cry like babies when they got a peek at them rapids. Can I handle a b Yes, and I wish I was back there right now instead of hitched up with a pair of yaps that don't know when they're well off." "But, look here, Fraser," Emerson spoke up, "I don't think you are strong enough for this trip.
'Drat her and her babies! I often said to myself. What was Compas? No more than an Old Bailey lawyer; not fit to be looked at alongside of our Mr Whittlestaff. No more ain't Mr John Gordon, to my thinking. You think of all that, Miss Mary, and make up your mind whether you'll break his heart after giving a promise. Heart-breaking ain't to him what it is to John Gordon and the likes of him."
"I wish that the cherries would hurry and get ripe!" "Do wolves eat cherries?" asked Mrs. Robin. "I do not know!" said Robert Robin, "but I do know that ripe red cherries are good for baby robins, and ever so much easier to find than bugs and worms!" "Green cherries make them sick! We must be very careful not to feed our babies any green cherries!"
