"Then I don't see why " said Marjorie. "Perhaps you will by and by," her mother replied, laughing, for Marjorie was looking as wise as an owl; "and now, please hurry with the apples, for they must bake before tea. Mr. Woodfern says he never ate baked apple sauce anywhere else." Marjorie hoped he would not stay a whole week, as he proposed, if she had to cut the apples.
"Yes," said Marjorie, "but if somebody had stumbled over every line I shouldn't have felt it so. I know the good there is in studying elocution. When Mr. Woodfern was here and read 'O, Absalom, my son! My son, Absalom! everybody had tears in their eyes, and I had never seen tears about it before. And now I know the good of punctuation. I guess punctuation helps elocution, too."
Did you see how it comes right?" "I didn't see, but I will as soon as I get time. You were not taken in that time, I do believe. Did Mr. Woodfern ask you questions?" "Not that kind! And I'm glad he didn't. Linnet, I haven't any 'experience' to talk about." "You are not old enough," said Linnet, wisely. "Are you?" "Yes, I have a little bit." "Shall you tell him about it?" asked Marjorie curiously.
Woodfern was here four of the Rheid boys joined the Church, all but Hollis, he was in New York, he went about that time. Mr. Woodfern was so interested in them all; I shall never forget how he used to pray at family worship: 'Lord, go through that Rheid family. He prayed it every day, I really believe.
I remember vibgyor, but now I don't know the seven primary colors. You are always getting taken in, Goosie! I hope you didn't ask Mr. Woodfern if he is the man in Pilgrim's Progress." "I know he isn't," said Marjorie, seriously, "there are a good many of them, he said so. I guess Pilgrim's Progress happened a long time ago. I shan't look for Great-heart, any more," she added, with a sigh.
And you may help me bring things in." When Marjorie opened the parlor door to call them to tea she heard Mr. Woodfern inquire: "Do all your children belong to the Lord?" "The two in heaven certainly do, and I think Linnet is a Christian," her mother was saying. "And Marjorie," he asked. "You know there are such things; I think Marjorie's heart was changed in her cradle."
