I thought she had forgotten all about it, but it seems that she has not; and she imagines that, as she says, "with a cork foot that I could stand upon, instead of always keeping this one up in fear of hurting it, I could get about the house with only a stick, and be of some use, and then dear Mettie's happiness might not be so far off." 'And what does Mettie say?
The last chapter is merely a place where the writer imagines that the polite reader has begun to look furtively at his watch. When Plato came to the point where it was fitting that he should sum up, his assurance turned into stage-fright as he thought how absurd it would sound to say what was in him about the place of reason in politics.
'How is it your conscientiousness with regard to Bruce doesn't come in the way now? Why would it ruin him less now than formerly? 'Bruce doesn't seem to matter so much. 'Because he isn't fighting? asked Sir Tito. 'Oh no, Landi! I never thought of that. But you know he always imagines himself ill, and he's quite all right really. He'll enjoy his grievance. I know he won't be unhappy.
Stickles sniffed contemptuously as her needles whirled and rattled between her nimble fingers. "Yes," Mrs. Larkins replied, "he carries his meanness into everything.
