"Tolerable, thank you. Sammy, my husband, he ain't been earnin' as much as usual lately, but I says to him, when he's downhearted-like because he can't hand out the price o' the rent, 'Say, you ain't fished up much of anythin' certaintly, but count your blessin's. You ain't fell in the river either. An' be this an' be that, we make out to get along. We never died a winter yet."
"I'll keep account and pay you back every cent, Doc, when I'm earnin' my own livin'." "All right. That's settled then. Now, fur your gettin' your letters, still, from Teacher. How are we goin' to work that there? I'll tell you, Tillie!" he slapped the table as an idea came to him.
But I've got a brother as is on'y ten, an' when 'e aint at school 'e's earnin' a bit by gatherin' mussels on the beach, an' 'e do collect a goodish bit too, though 'taint reg'lar biziness, an' 'e gets hisself into such a pickle o' salt water as never was. But he brings mother a shillin' or two." "And who is your mother?" asked Helmsley, drawing up his chair to the table and sitting down.
"Oh, you got it that time, Tobitha. Got it, and I knowed you would." "Jasper, for goodness sake, hush. Annie, come away from there, a peepin' through at those good-for-nothin' people. They'd better be at work earnin' a livin' for their families, gracious knows. Are you going?" she asked as Lyman arose. "Yes, to my office, to work for the Sentinel. I am the editor, now."
"She'd better 'a' been takin' in sewin' and earnin' money, 'stead o' blindin' her eyes on such foolishness as quilted counterpanes," said Mrs. Cobb. "The next thing you know that mortgage will be foreclosed on Mis' Randall, and she and the children won't have a roof over their heads." "Don't they say there's a good chance of the railroad goin' through her place?" asked Mrs. Robinson.
'Barber's the guy with the cargo-hook, is what they say. And Furman admits himself that I'm the only man's that's really earnin' that last raise. Yes, sir! 'Tom Barber's steel-constructed, is what he tells the boys." Meanwhile, Mrs. Kukor, still unaware of a strange presence, had been whispering excitedly with Cis, from whom she had got the facts concerning the wound.
Furthermore an' moreover, in my opinion it's a very honorary an' praiseful thing for him to do, to go out in the hedges an' byways an' earn money like that, when, if the world only knew enough to know a good thing when they see it, they'd be buy in' them pictures of his, an' not subjugate him to the mystification of earnin' his bread by the sweat of his forehead."
They don't want the war to stop they're earnin' good money an' go to dances an' cinemas. They'd start cryin' if we 'ad peace I tell yer, I was glad when me leave was over an' I was back wi' me mates. I won't 'alf throw me weight about when I gits out o' the army! I won't 'alf raise 'ell I'll 'ave a bloody revverlution, you see if I don't!..."
But she was too young to marry, an' she wanted to be earnin' money; so she got a job workin' fer Doc Squiers, over to Elmwood. He's the dentist there, an' Lucy helped with the housework an' kept the office slicked up, an' earned ev'ry penny she got." He stopped here, and looked vacantly around. Beth tried to help the old man. "And then?" she asked, softly. "Then come the trouble, miss.
"Yes, I suppose the medicine has toned her up a little, but the doctor says that she must have a long rest. She has been working too hard." "Well, she can. I'm earnin' enough now to take care of 'em," interposed the boy. "Nan would never be content to let you do that, I think, but, Theo, that isn't all." Theo said nothing, but his anxious eyes asked the question that his lips refused to utter.
