Frances and the baby just went to her mother's home, and stayed home, and after a while people said she and Sid had separated, though Frances said she would always like Sid as a friend not very serious reasons, these! Yet they had proved enough. Mary paused. Was she playing with fire? Ah, no, she told herself, it was very different in her case.
She says Timothy's at the head of the hull class, but, land! there ain't a boy in it that knows enough to git his close on right sid' out. She's a splendid teacher, Miss Boothby is! She tells me the seeleck men hev raised her pay to four dollars a week 'n' she to board herself, 'n' she's wuth every cent of it.
Sid had found out the contents of Charlie's pocket when it had been emptied in behalf of the bun fund, and at the "collation" in the woods, he concluded his speech with these words: "I learn that the Hon. Charles Pitt Macomber, who has been forbidden to fire off crackers, has some poetry, and I will ask him to read it I would only add that freemen must stand for their rights."
Mary was soon ready, and the three children set out for Sunday-school a place that Tom hated with his whole heart; but Sid and Mary were fond of it. Sabbath-school hours were from nine to half-past ten; and then church service. Two of the children always remained for the sermon voluntarily, and the other always remained too for stronger reasons.
Where did you see this fellow messing around, Sid?" Sid thought a moment and then his face clouded. "Come to think of it, I saw him on the portside." "I wasn't even close to the tanks!" exclaimed Astro. "There was someone messing around them, then," said Roger. "Yes," said Tom grimly. "But we don't know who or what he did."
"Well, who will holler under my window?" said Sid. "I," said Wort. "And under yours?" continued the president. "I," said Juggie. "And who under Juggle's?" "I," said Tony. "And who under Tony's?" "I," said Charlie. "And who under Charlie's?" That was a problem. "Aunt Thanthy," suggested Pip. "Aunt Stanshy is going out visiting," remarked Charlie. There was a very sad pause.
There was a clattering of feet on the stairs leading to the chamber of Aunt Stanshy's barn. First there popped up one head and a pair of curious eyes. Then there popped up a second head and two more eyes. Then there popped up a third head and two more eyes. "Jolly! Don't she beat all?" It was Sid Waters who said this.
Not but what the Perfesser's been a kind gentleman to Sid in taking him from going round with the laundry cart, and eddicating him to watch camphorated corpses: not as what I'd like to keep an eye on them things myself. But there's no more watching for my boy Sid, as I dreamed." "What did you dream?" asked Lucy curiously.
As soon as the train came to a stop the boys hopped down and assisted the girls to alight. Sid Todd followed, with the hand baggage, and the whole party gathered in a group, while Mr. Endicott and Belle dismounted to greet them. "Very glad to know you," said the railroad president, with a genial smile overspreading his features. "I feel as if I knew Morr already.
They were speaking in very low tones. When they parted, I followed Lerton to his office, and went in and talked to him. I did it just to size him up. He still declares that he never met you on Fifth Avenue. He acts like a man afraid of something; and I discovered an interesting thing, Sid. He has a typewriter in his private office, one for his personal use. I managed to type a short note on it."
