He has put them together, ready to be carried off to his nest." "We'll save him that trouble," said Mr. Carleton. "Little rascal! he's a Didenhover in miniature." "Oh no!" said Fleda; "he had as good a right to the nuts I am sure as we have, poor fellow. Mr. Carleton " Mr. Carleton was throwing the nuts into the basket.
"Oh, I don't know! he was in a hurry to do anything that would take the trouble of the farm off his hands; he don't like it." "On what terms has he let him have it?" "On shares and I know, I know under that Didenhover it will bring us in nothing, and it has brought us in nothing all the time we have been here; and I don't know what we are going to live upon "
"No," said Fleda quietly, "the trees near the house have been stripped; and the only other nice place there is for us to go to, Mr. Didenhover let the Shakers have the nuts. I sha'n't get any this year." "Live in the woods and not get any nuts! that won't do, Fairy. Here are some fine chestnuts we are coming to what would hinder our reaping a good harvest from them?"
Fleda had before this found out another fault in the harness, or rather in Mr. Didenhover, which like a wise little child she kept to herself. A broken place which her grandfather had ordered to be properly mended was still tied up with the piece of rope which had offended her eyes the last time they had driven out.
No I have been talking with a man who wants to take the whole farm for two years upon shares that will clear me of all trouble." There was sober silence for a few minutes, and then Mrs. Rossitur asked who it was. "His name is Didenhover." "Oh, uncle Rolf, don't have anything to do with him!" exclaimed Fleda. "Why not?" "Because he lived with grandpa a great while ago, and behaved very ill.
"No," said Fleda, quietly; "the trees near the house have been stripped; and the only other nice place there is for us to go to, Mr. Didenhover let the Shakers have the nuts. I sha'n't get any this year." "Live in the woods and not get any nuts! that wont do, Fairy. Here are some fine chestnuts we are coming to what should hinder our reaping a good harvest from these?"
Rossitur, gently. "What is the difficulty?" "Why, your father has let it to a man by the name of Didenhover, and I am afraid he is not faithful; it does not seem to bring us in what it ought." "What did he do that for?" "He was wearied with the annoyances he had to endure before, and thought it would be better and more profitable to have somebody else take the whole charge and management.
I have been altogether disappointed in that Didenhover." "I expect you have." "What do you suppose he'll do, Mr. Jolly? McGowan, I mean." "I expect he'll do what the law'll let him, Mr. Ringgan; I don't know what'll hinder him."
"Would it be any use, grandpa, for me to jump down and run and tell them you don't want them to take the butternuts? I shall have so few". "No, dear no," said her grandfather; "they have got em about all by this time; the mischief's done. Didenhover meant to let 'em have 'em unknown to me, and pocket the pay himself Get up!"
That Didenhover is ruining me, brother Joshua." "He's feathering his own nest, I reckon." "You may swear to that. There wa'n't as many bushels of grain, by one-fourth, when they were threshed out last year, as I had calculated there would be in the field. I don't know what on earth he could have done with it. I suppose it'll be the same thing over this year."
