"And I trimmed it nearly all myself!" Patricia explained, proudly. "Aunt Julia had to go out. Maybe you don't think I've been busy to-day, Daddy! I don't know but what it is a good thing that Christmas doesn't come more than once a year." "I should be bankrupt if it did," the doctor said, pulling one of Custard's long ears. "An only daughter is rather an expensive luxury."
"I'm just disgusted with life." "Land sakes!" Sarah exclaimed; "and only this noon looked like yo' was walkin' on air!" Patricia went to bed early that night; even Custard's powers to comfort had proved inadequate. To-morrow stretched ahead a long, blank, dreary waste.
Or was she plotting something. "Honey," Sarah came out on the piazza, "it's getting time for you to get dressed for the festiv'ties." Patricia, tickling one of Custard's long ears with a blade of grass, smiled serenely. "But I am dressed, Sarah." Sarah sat down heavily on the piazza bench; "I knowed it! I jest 'spicioned you-un was shore up to something!"
"She's just heavenly!" said Glory to herself, standing at the back door, and gazing with a rapturous admiration at Faith's upturned face. "And the dinner's all ready, and I'm thankful, and more, that the custard's baked so beautiful!" "Sits the wind in that corner?" "For courage mounteth with occasion." The lassitude that comes with spring had told upon Mr. Gartney.
Fortunately Custard appeared at that moment, wagging ingratiatingly; and grandmother at once responded to his overtures with a friendliness that warmed not only the heart of Custard but of Custard's small mistress. Patricia went to bed that night with her thoughts rather in a whirl.
So ye got a guest for dinner, and if the custard's scorched and the cake's flat, it's up to ye for kapin' me here to tell ye all this." Then Katy hurried to the kitchen. Linda looked at John Gilman and smiled. "Isn't that like her?" she said. Then she led the way to the library, pulled aside the books, fitted the key to the little door, and opened it.
