After a little time Robert Sumner came, and Dr. Burnett, taking him by both hands, looked through moist eyes into the face he loved, and had so long missed, saying: "And so you have come home to stay, Robert, my boy!" "Yes," in a glad, ringing voice, withdrawing one hand from the doctor's and putting it into Mrs. Burnett's eager clasp "yes, Barbara and Malcom have brought me home.
Miss Burnett's method of conversation was to say something about the weather and then to lapse into a surprised and distressed stare. If her visitor made some statement she crowned it with, "Well, now, that was just was I was going to say."
'It natchelly stands to reason that a big scaffolded-up man like Stony Bugg can chamber more licker than a little runt like that Burnett. Why, he could do it if Burnett was spangled all over with Adamses' apples and all of them palpitating like skeered lizards. He could do it if Burnett's eyes were so fur apart he was cross-eyed behind.
Hyde; Frances Hodgson Burnett's Little Lord Fauntleroy; Andrew Carnegie's Triumphant Democracy; Frank R. Stockton's The Lady, or the Tiger? and his Rudder Grange, and a succession of other books. The advertising of these books keenly sharpened the publicity sense of the developing advertising director.
Burnett's bright, sweet motherly letter, and a note from each of their brothers and sisters, even a crumpled printed one from five-year-old Bertie. So bright and jolly were they all, that they allayed rather than heightened the first homesick feelings, and very soon the girls were chattering happily as they busied themselves with their unpacking.
"Burnett's pell-mellin' down from Auburn after ye," she blurted. "I just heard it at Young's." Andy's face blanched to the hue of death. He had been so satisfied so secure in the little garret under the protection of his friends, and now he would have to go back after all. "Burnett?" he repeated almost inaudibly. "Burnett's comin' after me?" Tess reached out and touched him.
The key to her nature had been found, and henceforward Isabel brought to her every suffering baby. On the next day they marched ten miles through a heavy rain, and arrived at Burnett's settlement. The women had shelter, the men slept on the wet ground took the prairie without cover with their arms in their hands.
Burnett's delightful story of "Louisiana," and of the play of "Esmeralda." A rock is pointed out toward the summit, which the beholder is asked to see resembles a hut, and which is called "Esmeralda's Cottage." But this attractive maiden has departed, and we did not discover any woman in the region who remotely answers to her description.
Burnett's report and confirmed by many workers. A small sweater in Brunswick Street employed a presser and a machinist, with two women for button-holes and felling, his business being the production of tunics for postmen. For each of these he received two shillings, or half a dollar a coat, which he considered a very good price. He paid his presser 4s. 6d.
'She is an exceedingly sensitive girl, and is now a little overwrought. The events of the last month have proved too much for her. 'Mr. Grandly informed me that it was Mr. Burnett's intention to add a codicil to his will, leaving Miss Watson three hundred a year. This money I am prepared to give her, and I'm quite sure she is welcome to stay here as long as she pleases.
