The cook, who was in the drawin'-room passage, she was blow'd down stairs; the workman as opened the little door, he was blow'd flat on his back; an' the missis, as was standin' with her back to a door, she was lifted off her legs and blow'd right through the doorway into a bedroom." "Gracious!" exclaimed the horrified Mrs Denman, "was she killed?" "No, ma'am, she warn't killed.
"Yes, darlin', I tink he's in the drawin'-room dis berry minute," Chloe answered, as she took off the little girl's hat, and carefully smoothed her hair. "There, there! mammy, won't that do now? I'm in a little bit of a hurry," Elsie said with a merry little laugh, as she slipped playfully from under her nurse's hand, and ran down-stairs.

Elsie rose in some trepidation and left the room, wondering what her papa could want with her. "Where is papa, Fanny?" she asked of the servant. "In de drawin'-room, Miss Elsie," was the reply; and she hastened to seek him there. He held out his hand as she entered, saying with a smile, "Come here, daughter."

"It's a foolishness," he protests. "In Saginaw it couldn't be done." All the way up the hill he mutters and grumbles but he keeps on going. Not until he gets near enough to get a glimpse of all the people in the drawin'-room does he balk. "Matilda and all!" says he. "Why couldn't we go in by the back?" "Nothing doin'," says Ellery, flourishing his knife. "You're goin' to face the music, you are."
