General York, in this as in every case, inquired if the family desired to leave, informing them that Major Burke, of 'The Times-Democrat, has sent the 'Susie' up for that purpose. Mrs. Taylor said she thanked Major Burke, but she would try and hold out. The remarkable tenacity of the people here to their homes is beyond all comprehension.
Susie Granger was in her happiest mood, and her lively spirits seemed to pervade the whole party. Now that he knew her better, Richard was more at ease with her, and returned her playful sallies until even Ethelyn wondered to see him so funny.
No, nothing else; a glass of cold water; I am dying of thirst." "And I," said Bettina, laughing, while Pauline ran to fetch the water, "I am dying of something else-of hunger, to tell the truth. Monsieur le Cure I know that I am going to be dreadfully intrusive; I see your cloth is laid could you not invite us to dinner?" "Bettina!" said Mrs. Scott. "Let me alone, Susie, let me alone.
He could not understand it. "Well," he said, "I guess I made a mistake, but I was sure I saw a rabbit go down that hole. I guess I had better be going." So he called his dog, put his ferret into his pocket and went away. And, oh, how glad Sammie and Susie Littletail were! Pretty soon Papa Littletail came hurrying home. As soon as he entered the burrow the children noticed that he was rather pale.

It will do us good to pass a quiet hour here, after such a day as we have had!
But Grandma Wentworth wasn't a mite surprised and said she knew that Susie would come into her own some day. As for Jake, he is so in love with his rosy little wife and his four good-looking children that he just goes on raising bumper crops without hardly knowing how he does it.

"Peggy and John Edward and Elmore and Susie and Lois and Bud and the baby." "Ah! Only seven! And their ages?" "Peggy she's near on 'leven and the baby's a year old this last gone November and the others are scattered 'long between," explained Mrs. Callahan.
