Violet came and knelt down beside her brother. "Is she not a precious darling?" said she, kissing her softly. "It isn't much we know about how folks will look in heaven," said Miss Bethia, gravely. "No," said David. "Only that we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is." "If we ever get there," said Miss Bethia. "Yes, if we ever get there," said David.
And with a house to keep up and his children to clothe and feed, no wonder that Mr Inglis might be troubled many a time when he thought of how they were to be educated, and of what was to become of them in case he should be taken away. There was no theme on which Miss Bethia was so eloquent as this, and she was eloquent on most themes.
"It will owe none of its brightness to me," said Miss Bethia, with sudden humility. "And I don't suppose I shall begrudge the brightness of other folks' crowns when I get there, if I ever do." In the pause that followed, David went and laid the baby in her cot, and when he returned the children came with him, and the talk went on.
"And I am not sure that it would not be best to dispose of them, some of them, at least, for we are very poor, and I scarcely know whether we shall have a place to put them. They may have to be packed up in boxes, and of that I cannot bear to think." "No. It ain't pleasant," said Miss Bethia, meditatively. "It ain't pleasant to think about."
"Peter Munro knows about horseshoes, and that's about all he does know. He ought to know that you might be about better business than hanging about his shop, learning no good." "Horseshoes no good!" said Jem, laughing. "Jem, dear!" pleaded Violet. "But it's dreadful to hear Miss Bethia speak disrespectfully of horseshoes," said Jem.
Little Mary stood on a stool at the end of the table, and gravely imitated her movements with a little iron of her own. "Now this is what I call a kind of pleasant," said Miss Bethia. "Now let's have a good visit before the children come home." "Shall I read to you?" said David, a little at a loss as to what might be expected from him in the way of entertainment. "Well no.
David said to himself that he would be past remembering most things when he should forget what his father had said that day, and all that grew out of it. But he did not tell Miss Bethia so.
On the 1st March, the Bethia Thayer, of Rockland, Maine, was overhauled, and like the Washington, having on board guano the property of the Peruvian government, was released on a bond of 50,000 dollars. Shortly after, a suspicious barque, with the English flag at the peak, hove in sight.
Still, I think, we must wait. I have done all I am able to do to-day. Yes, I know you and Violet could do it; but I would like to help, and we will wait till to-morrow." "And, besides, mamma," said Letty, from the window, "here is Miss Bethia coming up the street.
Money, even to do good with, is a poor thing compared with that. Money won't go a great ways in the making of happiness, without something else." "Would you like to live your life over again, Miss Bethia?" asked Violet. "No I shouldn't. Not unless I could live it a great deal better. And I know myself too well by this time to suppose I should do that. It wouldn't pay, I don't believe.
