"That's the first dost of medicine we've got her to take to-day," she said. "We've all been tryin' to worrit it down her. We've give her everything in the house she fancied. Pa he paid her a bottle of beer to take a spoonful last night. Bless you, no'm" even in her distress she laughed at Miss Dorcas's shocked look "she didn't drink a drop of it.
'Perhaps, he repeated with a sneer; 'I venture to say, most positively, I can't conceive any sane reason for your refusing Dorcas's entreaty to live with us at Brandon, and leave this triste, and unwholesome, and everyway objectionable place. 'She was very kind, but I can't do it.
She folded it again in two little notes of Anthony's, written in pencil, and placed it in her bosom. There was the little china box, too Dorcas's present, the pearl ear-rings, and a silk purse, with fifteen seven-shilling pieces in it, the presents Sir Christopher had made her on her birthday, ever since she had been at the Manor. Should she take the earrings and the seven-shilling pieces?
Anne saw Peggy at school and, with Cousin Dorcas's permission, talked to her sometimes in recess and kept informed as to how many teeth the baby had and the new words Bud could say.
She liked him more and more. Once her parents took Dorcas and her five-year-old sister, Olive, on a Sunday afternoon ramble, which led eventually to the Ferris farm. Link welcomed the chance callers gladly, and showed them over the place. Dorcas's housewifely eye rejoiced in the well-kept house, even while she frowned inwardly at its thousand signs of bachelor inefficiency.
Link Ferris had scarce time to tense his muscles for a futile spring Dorcas's scream of helpless terror was still unborn when the car was upon the prostrate child. And in the same fraction of a second a furry catapult launched itself across the wide road at a speed that made it look like tawny blur. Chum's mad leap carried him to the baby just as the car's fender hung above her.
'Well, well, I won't trouble him with mine, said I, 'Dorcas; but, instead, I will write to himself, Dorcas. But how shall I address him? 'Anan? was again Dorcas's resource. 'I mean how is he called? What is his name? 'Sure you honour should know best, said Dorcas. 'I know? The devil! You drive me beyond patience.
Then he took both of Dorcas's hands in his, holding them with a fierce grasp that made her almost scream. "You know I can't go near the house." "Yes, I know," said Dorcas, half frightened at his manner. "When did you get back from Boston?" "Saturday night. And I am going again to-morrow. And then Dorcas I shall stay." "Stay?" "Stay, till you tell me to come back, maybe!"
What's the matter? You needn't look like that as if I had done something naughty," said Griselda sharply. "But you'll tell your aunt, missie?" "Of course," said Griselda, looking up fearlessly into Dorcas's face with her bright grey eyes.
Dorcas made no answer, but put her arm round Rachel's neck, and kissed her; Dorcas made two kisses of it, and Rachel one, but it was cousinly and kindly; and Rachel laughed a soft little laugh after it, looking amused and very lovingly on her cousin; but she was a bold lass, and not given in anywise to the melting mood, and said gaily, with her open hand still caressingly on Dorcas's waist
