"Katy, Helen suddenly asked, "do you always submit to God's will thus?" "In great things I do," I said.
When at last he got across the stream, he found himself in the midst of a hazel thicket higher than his head. He hallooed to Katy, and she was sure this time that it was his last drowning cry. Working his way out of the hazel-brush, he came to a halt against a fence and waited for lightning.
Helen, do you believe he meant Morris?" and lifting up her face, Katy looked at her sister with a wistfulness which told how anxiously she waited for the answer. "I know that he meant Morris," Helen replied. "Bell thinks so, too. So does her father, and both bade me tell you to revoke your decision, to marry Dr. Grant, with whom you will be so happy." "I cannot. It is too late.
"We can't help having relations that ain't nice, you know." The visit was evidently not a success. Papa was very civil to Imogen at dinner, but he watched her closely, and Katy saw a comical twinkle in his eye, which she did not like. Papa had very droll eyes.

A bright flush came to her cheeks as she did so; her songs and laughter ceased; then a step behind us! I looked back, and found the cause of her sudden "dignity," her demure silence.
They didn't say anything so long as I was there, but the moment my back was turned they began to quarrel again, and in the same old words "Katy did." "Katy didn't." "She did." "She didn't."

Everyone had gifts, from the grandfather down to the baby. Little Katy clapped her hands with glee and vowed inwardly that the cat should never know another moment's grief.
For three years we got along very well. I wish I could stop here, Katy, for the rest of the story is very sad." "Don't tell me any more, mother, it makes you feel so bad, I would rather not hear it.
