"Oh, do you know Aunt Wetherill has sent over, and " "Yes," slowly, "we knew it was time. Madam Wetherill does not forget easily." "Primrose!" called her aunt. She hastened to the kitchen, rinsed out her dipper, and hung it up. Uncle Henry was washing his hands and Chloe was taking up the hot bread and dishing the stewed chicken. Oh, how delightfully appetizing the fragrance was!
Teddy tore into the house one morning after school with this announcement, and his face was radiant with delight. His mother was laying the cloth for dinner, and old Mrs. Platt was busy dishing up some potatoes. 'Who told you? asked the latter. 'I saw one a real live soldier, a corporal with two gold stripes on his red coat, and such white gloves; and I went up to him and talked to him.
It looked very cozy when Brownleigh came in to say that the wagon was ready and he thought he saw the Indian in the dusk coming across the plain, but he stopped short without speech, for here before him was the picture which his mind and heart had painted for him many a time: this girl, the one girl in all the earth for him, kneeling beside his hearth and dishing up the steaming soup into the hot dishes, the firelight playing on her sweet face and golden hair, and every line and motion of her graceful body calling for his adoration!

He let out a horrifying yell and brandished the knife. In a panic of terror Bob collapsed to the floor.

Miss Polly Maybright thinks a sight on you, Mag; seems to me as if maybe she'd adopt you, and turn you into a real lady. My word, I have read of such things in story-books."
"And where's Cray?" exclaimed John, suddenly observing the absence of his young guest. "He's down in the kitchen, dishing up the pudding," said Barbara blushing, and she darted out of the room, and presently returned, other footsteps following hers. "Cray," exclaimed John, as the boy seemed inclined to linger outside, "don't stand there in the draught.
