Her only doubt had been as to the price they ought to ask for their goods. "I'm not sure that I can make you understand," said Grandma, "and it isn't really necessary that you should, at present. But never again must you go out selling things to strangers." "But we sold things for the Dunns at the bazaar," argued Marjorie. "You can't understand the difference, my dear, so don't try.
I considered a long spell afore I took the place, and I never abandoned a ship yet, once I took command of her. And I'll stick to this one! Yes, sir! I'll stick to it in spite of the devil or the Dunns, either. Till you and your brother are of age I'm goin' to look out for you and your interests and your money; and nothin' nor nobody shall stop me.
"What's your idea?" said Molly, rousing herself in the hammock and sitting with her chin in both hands as she listened. "Why, I read it in the paper," said Marjorie, "and it's this. And it's a lovely way to make money; we could make quite a lot for the Dunns. It will be some trouble, but it would be a lot of fun, too." "Yes, but what is it," said Stella, in her quietly patient way.
The Dunns and Caroline had been together almost constantly since the evening when Malcolm and his mother interrupted the reading of the novel. The former, while professing to be harassed by business cares, sacrificed them to the extent of devoting at least a part of each twenty-four hours to the young lady's society.
The Dunns did not deceive him for one moment. He was certain Malcolm intended marrying you because of your money; for that matter, so was I. But his was the plan entirely which showed them to you as they were. He knew you were too honest and straightforward to believe such things of the man to whom you were engaged if they were told you; you must see the proof with your own eyes.
Having broken the drifts on the first trip, it was not hard going, but it was midnight when we reached the print shop. On cold, bad days the Dunns, getting their own children home from school, would see to it that Ida Mary got back safely, and Mrs. Dunn would insist that she stay with them on such nights. "Now you go, Huey, and bring Teacher back.
The grayish-white canvas of the wagon, and the team almost the same color blended into the drab picture, darker shadows against the gray curtain of earth and sky, until we came to the shack. The Dunns had remembered, as they so often did, that Ida Mary was alone, and they had shoveled a path to the door for her.
"I presume likely the Dunns told you, Caroline," he repeated, calmly. His niece met his gaze stubbornly. "Well," she answered, "and if they did? Wasn't it necessary we should know it? Oh!" with a shudder of disgust, "I wish I could make you understand how ashamed I feel how wicked and ashamed I feel that I I should have disgraced father's memory by.... Oh, but there! I can't! Yes; Mrs.
Marjorie was somewhat inexperienced in the practical matters of charity, and looked with surprise at the large quantity of substantial viands. "There is a large family of the Dunns," observed Grandma, "and they're all blessed with healthy appetites. These things won't go to waste." "Are there children?" asked Marjorie. "Yes, indeed, four of them. You must see how Mrs.
You can spend it yourselves, or give it to your poor people, whichever you like." "Of course we'll give it to the Dunns," declared Marjorie, "that is, if we take it, but I'm not sure that we ought to take it." "Go 'long," cried the old man; "take it?
