Why the quick push after the slow beginning?"
The one there has a splendid picture on it!" "You shall have it!" said Otto. "But if I requested a fairing from you, I beseech of you, might I say" "That it possibly might obtain its worth from my hand," said Sophie, smiling. "I understand you very well a sprig of heather? I shall steal!" said she to the young wife, as she took a little sprig of heath and stuck it into his buttonhole.
"And what do you want in the village, my pretty Helen?" "Why, you know it is fair day, and you promised Bessie that you would buy her a fairing, to say nothing of me." "Very true, and I ought to look in; it will help to keep the poor people from drinking. A clergyman should mix with his parishioners in their holidays. We must not associate our office only with grief and sickness and preaching.
I told him I had forgotten no one, and thought it was true, until on our way up the sandy lane, which offered us a last close view of the old wall-flower farm front, I saw little Mabel Sweetwinter, often my playfellow and bedfellow, a curly-headed girl, who would have danced on Sunday for a fairing, and eaten gingerbread nuts during a ghost-story.
