If that ain't what y' mean, what do y' mean? It can't be so, Miss Badlam: she's one o' my babies. At any rate, I handled her when she fust come to this village, and none o' my babies never did sech a thing. Fifteen year old, and be bringin' a whole family into disgrace!
Myrtle had not hitherto said to herself that Clement was her lover, yet her whole nature was expanding and deepening in the light of that friendship which any other eye could have known at a glance for the great passion. Cynthia Badlam wrote a pressing letter to Murray Bradshaw. "There is no time to be lost; she is bewitched, and will be gone beyond hope if this business is not put a stop to."
Hopkins had cared for so long without any recompense, and at a cost which would soon become beyond her means? The good people of the neighborhood accepted this as the best solution of the difficulty.

Gridley answered, with a peculiar expression which said, "Never mind about that." "Did the party give you possession of these documents without making any effort to retain them?" the lawyer asked. "Not precisely. It cost some effort to induce Miss Badlam to let them go out of her hands.
