"Bless your heart, you'll soon talk fast enough in English. Your voice is very sweet; it minds me of your ma's. And it 'pears to me you speak better already." I was beaming on the good woman now. "Will you remain long in Cavendish?" I ventured on a question or two myself. "It'll depend on Dan'el's wife.
She moved uneasily on the seat, looking around on all sides a trifle nervously, and then in an awed whisper said to me, "Don't the cars go all to smash sometimes?" "Not many times," I tried to say reassuringly. "I wan't never in 'em afore, and wouldn't be now, only my son Dan'el's wife's took oncommon bad, and he thinks I can cure her."
"If you don't mind, I'll put on my shawl and go with you." "I was going to ask you to do so." "I'll jest set on the pot for Dan'el's dinner first. Twelve o'clock soon comes these short days." Mrs. Blake threw a faded woolen shawl over her head, and taking a short path across the field we started for Mrs. Larkum's, Tiger limping after us. I thought Mrs.

Then I was feared o' Dan'el's power over mother, an' give in times when I ought to 'a held my own.

They said when he got so's to sit up in his arm-chair of an afternoon, when he was getting better, he fought 'em dreadfully because they fetched him his own clothes to put on; he said they was brother Dan'el's clothes. So, sure enough, they got out an old double gown, and let him put it on, and he was as peaceable as could be.
