From these, which were taken down in shorthand, I quote the following: "Mr. Having concluded her directions, "Katie" invited me into the cabinet with her, and allowed me to remain until the end." "Touching confidence!" interrupted Harris. "'After closing the curtain she conversed with me for some time, and then walked across to where Miss Cook was lying senseless on the floor.
You have me left, father," she said, with her young face rosy, and very sleepy. I went close to her, put my hand upon the cover, and said, "You must call Mr. Axtell, Katie." "For what? Is Miss Axtell worse?" "I think so; she will not lie down." "Do you think I might try to coax her?" and Katie rubbed her heavy eyelids, open too soon. "If you think you can."
I'm glad to see you, Katie. 'Three cheers! Jimmy, I want to introduce you to my friend, Uncle Bill. Ted, this is Uncle Bill. Violet, this is Uncle Bill. It wasn't my place to fetch her one on the side of the head, but I'd of liked to have; for she was acting like she'd never used to act when I knew her all tough and bold. Then it come to me that she was nervous.
And I think our little Katie would, after a few years' study, make a capital teacher, and you know she would make a great deal more money in that way than she ever can in the mill, with much less expenditure of time and strength." "Yes," said Mrs. Robertson, with a sigh. "I never thought that my husband's children would have to work for a living." "Working for a living is not degrading, Mrs.
"Indeed, we won't know you," laughed Dorothy, "for papa insists that you boys must wear dominoes, too." "Hurrah for us, I say!" shouted Reginald; "we'll have as much fun as you girls will." "And we've two weeks to wait," said Katie Dean, "and all that time we're not to tell what we're to be." "Nor even the color of our dominoes," said Jeanette.
Katie, too, was at this time more exasperated with the girl's conduct than she had ever been before; and they had frequent quarrels. As the result of one of them, Marie went off with Terry to his family flat, where he was living alone at the time to "have a fish dinner," telling the relenting Katie that she would return in the evening.
Dotty Dimple became a school-girl, with a "bosom friend" and a pearl ring. Prudy, who called herself "the middle-aged sister," grew tall and slender. Katie was four years old, and just a little heavier, so she no longer needed a cent in her pocket to keep her from blowing away. The Parlins had been at Willowbrook a week before the Cliffords arrived. There was a great sensation over Katie.
Wayne had said, and Katie agreed with him, that Chicago was not the place for her to start in anew. She had gone through too many hard things there. And Katie was glad for other reasons. With Wayne in Washington, she would have no more occasion to be in the middle-west and Ann would be too far away in Chicago.
He straightened himself as he spoke, and looked at Harwin with such gravity that the latter, meeting the light of his eyes, was puzzled whether this was jest or earnest, until Miss Royal's laugh relieved his uncertainty. Katie laid her hand on the speaker's arm and shook it lightly. "You told me I should be sure to enjoy it," she said. "Now, what do you mean?"
Katie, in the midst of her interest turning instinctively to include Ann, was curiously arrested. Ann was sitting a little apart. And there seemed so poignant a significance in her sitting apart.
