And all her mother said was to bid her go and sit down by the fire and toast her feet. She also mixed a bowl of hot ginger-tea plentifully sweetened with molasses, and bade her drink that, so she could not catch cold; and yet there was something strange in her manner all the time. She made no remark, either, when she opened Comfort's dinner-pail and saw how little had been eaten.
But something had to be done, and so I made a venture and remarked: "Louise, the wind is in the south; and if it doesn't change, we shall certainly have rain within three days."
