"It would considerably enrich us," grimly observed Wayne. "When doctors or lawyers don't do things right can't you sue them and get your money back? Why can't you do the same thing with educators? I'm going to enter suit against Miss Sisson. This unchristian editor says modern education is dangerous; but there was no danger in the course at Miss Sisson's. I want my money back."
Again Sue looked at the hanging little frock and at the socks and shoes; and her figure quivered like a string. "I am a pitiable creature," she said, "good neither for earth nor heaven any more! I am driven out of my mind by things! What ought to be done?" She stared at Jude, and tightly held his hand. "Nothing can be done," he replied.
Where is the man who does not persuade himself that when he gratifies his own curiosity he does so for the sake of his womankind? So Richard Talbot, having made his protest, waited two days, but when next he had any leisure moments before him, on a Sunday evening, he said to his wife, "Sue, what hast thou done with that scroll of Cissy's?
He turned immediately on Ted with an angry, impatient gesture. "Well, the other fellow got it after all! I don't know what business you had in this concern, but you spoiled the trick for me and didn't do yourself any good! And if that dog gives me hydrophobia, I'll sue the whole outfit of you! He beat it off in that direction the other fellow. I saw that much.
"Oh, then daddy and mother will be back in the city and we can go and live with them," replied her brother. Early the next morning, while the children and Tom were having breakfast, Mr. Brown was seen setting off toward the village. "Where are you going, Daddy?" cried Sue.

"Nothing?" exclaimed Mrs. Pratt. "Sue Harkness, don't you dare say that! Why, it means that I'll have a real home to-night for my children we'll be jest as comfortable as we were before the fire! I don't believe any woman ever had such good neighbors before!" Long before dark the house was finished, as far as it was to be finished that day.
"Come on out," said Mr. Brown, "we won't hurt you." Out of the bushes came the ragged boy. In his hand he still had some of the bread and meat he had taken from the ice box.
