The ground on which he had predicted the greatness of the next day was not that the noted horses already present were entered for the race, but much more because he had received a letter from one whom he sometimes spoke of as "one of his childern," and sometimes as "one of his young masters" a grandson of his old master, Colonel Theodoric Johnston of Bullfield telling him that he was going to bring one of his horses, a colt his grandfather had given him, and try for the big steeplechase stake.
Me and your mom's conceited we'd drive up to Puntz's Sunday afternoon after the dinner work's through a'ready. And if Aunty Em don't want you partic'lar, you're to come home and mind the childern, do you hear?" "Yes, sir." "Now, don't forget. Well, good-by, then." Again he bent to kiss her, and Tillie felt Fairchilds's eyes upon her, as unresponsively she submitted to the caress.
Oreille I can't and I won't put up with any such a climate. If we were obliged to do it, I wouldn't mind it; but we are not obliged to, and so I don't see the use of it. Sometimes its real pitiful the way the childern pine for Parry don't look so sad, Bridget, 'ma chere' poor child, she can't hear Parry mentioned without getting the blues." Mrs. Gashly "Well I should think so, Mrs. Oreille.
If you don't have no work by the middle o' May, you drop me a line, an' perhaps I can take you an' your wife, too; Lucy's childern al'ays make a sight o' work. You keep that bill safe, an' Here, wait a minute! You might stop at Cyrus Pendleton's it's the fust house arter you pass; the corner an' ask 'em to put a sparerib an' a pat o' butter into the sleigh, an' ride over here to dinner.
Me and the childern want to send you a crismas mess of some of all we lade in for to live on. They is pertaters 2 kines, onions, termaters, a jar vineger and a jar perservs. I boughten the peeches last sumer, they was gitting a little rotting so I got them cheep. Hope you will Enjoy them. I send some of all we got but Cole and Flower. Thankes thankes to you for your kind fealings.
Radcliffe knows he can't monkey with his uncle Frank, an' when he's by, butter wouldn't melt in that young un's mouth. But other times my! You see, Mrs. Sherman is dead easy. She told me oncet, childern ought to be brought up 'scientifically. Lord! She said they'd ought to be let express their souls, whatever she means by that.
He never sees me but it's, 'How d'do, Martha? or, 'How's the childern an' Mr. Slawson these days? He certainly has got grand ways with'm, Mr. Frank has. An' yet, he's never free. You wouldn't dare make bold with'm. His eyes has a sort o' keep-off-the-grass look gener'ly, but when he smiles down at you, friendly-like, why, you wouldn't call the queen your cousin.
Her children two boys and two girls could you find greater darlings if you spent a week among the well-bred childern playing round the Round Pond?
What does a body have childern fur? To get no use out of 'em? It ain't no good you're plaguin' me. I ain't leavin' her go. Tillie!" he commanded the child with a twirl of his thumb and a motion of his head; "go set the supper-table!" Margaret laid her arm about Tillie's shoulder. "Well, dear," she said sorrowfully, "we must give it all up, I suppose. But don't lose heart, Tillie.
Dear knows what YOU must feel yet, Tillie and what all your little life you've been feelin', with his fear always hangin' over you still. Sometimes when I think how my brother Jake trains up his childern!" indignation choked her "I have feelin's that are un-Christlike, Tillie!"
