I jest bounced intew the kitchen, chucked my hat intew one corner, my coat intew 'nother, kicked the cat, cussed the fire, drawed up a chair, and set scaoulin' like sixty, bein' tew mad fer talkin'. The young woman that was nussin' aunt, Bewlah Blish, by name, was a cooking grewel on the coals, and 'peared tew understan' the mess I was in; but she didn't say nothin', only blowed up the fire, fetched me a mug er cider, an' went raound so kinder quiet, and sympathizing that I found the wrinkles in my temper gettin' smoothed aout 'mazin' quick; an' fore long I made a clean breast er the hull thing.
Then Mandy and Blish and Nathan, also, came in a group to the door of the dining-room and peeped in with good-natured dark faces stretched wide in brilliant smiling, just to see her eat a few mouthfuls. They were so glad to have her back at the Farm. Arethusa choked up several times with all the homely kindnesses she received.
Then Miss Eliza happened to glance at the tall marble clock. She immediately put her work down. "You may finish these stockings, Arethusa, if you think you can keep your mind on it long enough. But just as I was doing them though; mind! It's time for me to go show Blish about fixing that sore place on the black cow's back. He was to be up at four."
If he was right and the Fuzzies were declared the 9th extrasolar sapient race, there went the Company, charter and all! LITTLE FUZZY is our candidate for the most delightful science-fiction book of the year. by James Blish F-122 40¢ They were beautiful creatures, highly intelligent and playful.
"I don't quite like to do it without asking uncle's leave," faltered Rose, when all was ready for the operation. "Did he ever forbid it?" demanded Ariadne, hovering over her prey like a vampire. "No, never!" "Then do it, unless you are afraid," cried Miss Blish, bent on accomplishing the deed.
"No one but Ariadne Blish, and she was such a goose I couldn't bear her. The boys came yesterday, and seemed rather nice; but, of course, I couldn't play with them." "Why not?" "I'm too old to play with boys." "Not a bit of it; that's just what you need, for you've been molly-coddled too much.
She left the sitting-room abruptly and bustled out to the back door to find Blish, whom she scolded most vigorously, much to his astonishment and consternation, for he could not remember a thing he had done or left undone within the last twenty-four hours, since the last scolding, to be scolded for.
"I'm not going to do all the gallivanting. Let Steve take that chit home and show his manners." "I'll be hanged if I do!" answered Prince, who disliked Miss Blish because she tried to be coquettish with him. "Then I will," and, to the dismay of both recreant lads, Dr. Alec walked out of the room to offer his services to the "chit."
The music had spoken to Arethusa herself, to soften. Timothy's mood, however, was not inclined for conversation on general topics, and at Miss Eliza's supper-table one nearly always conversed on general topics. The only persons at the Farm who did not go to the station to see Arethusa off for her Trip were Miss Asenath and Nathan. Even Mandy went, on the front seat of the surrey with Blish.
Presently, Phebe appeared with a card. Rose read it, made a grimace, then laughed and said, "I'll see Miss Blish," and immediately put on her company face, pulled out her locket, and settled her curls. "You dear thing, how do you do? I've been trying to call every day since you got back, but I have so many engagements, I really couldn't manage it till to-day.
