Bob Crump, for instance, had been jilted on the very morning he had arranged for his wedding, but instead of going about in a state of gentle melancholy he went round and fought his beloved's father merely because it was her father and wound up an exciting day by selling off his household goods to the highest bidders.
"OH, mother," exclaimed Ida, bounding into the room, fresh from school. She stopped short, in some confusion, on seeing a stranger. "Is this my own dear child, over whose infancy I watched so tenderly?" exclaimed the nurse, rising, her harsh features wreathed into a smile. "It is Ida," said Mrs. Crump. Ida looked from one to the other in silent bewilderment. "Ida," said Mrs.
Crump was in the kitchen, busy in preparations for dinner, when a loud knock was heard at the door. "Who can it be?" ejaculated Mrs. Crump.

"The shoal's blocked wi' 'em! They're stranded on the ebb. Tedge, yeh'll have to wait for more water to pass this bar inside 'em.
"But as we don't know," said his father, "we must wait patiently till she comes." "I guess," said Mrs. Crump, in the spirit of a notable housewife, "I'll make up some apple-turnovers for supper to-night. There's nothing Ida likes so well." "That's where Ida is right," said Jack, "apple-turnovers are splendid." "They're very unwholesome," remarked Aunt Rachel.
