"Come in, Faithie," said he, with one of his half gleams of consciousness, "I'll see you, daughter, as long as I live."
"How would you and Faithie like to have your supper here by the fire?" asked Mrs Carew, coming in from the kitchen. "Faith can bring in the light stand and use her own set of dishes. And I will make you a fine dish of cream toast." Both the little girls were delighted at the plan. And Faith ran to the kitchen and, with her mother's help, brought in the stand and put it down in front of the settle.
"Faithie!" said Paul's father, a little suddenly, at last "do you know how true a thing you said a little while ago?" "How, sir?" asked Faith, not perceiving what he meant. "When you spoke of having your hand on the mainspring of all this?" And he raised his right arm, motioning with the slender whip he held, along the line of factory buildings that lay before them.
Faithie and I have a good deal to do," responded Mrs. Scott. The boys ran off with their father, chattering gaily, but at the door Donald turned and called back: "You'll come out to the shop, won't you, Cousin Faith?" "If Aunt Prissy says I may," answered Faith. "Yes; she will come," added Aunt Prissy, with her ready smile. It seemed to Faith that Aunt Prissy was always smiling.
Faith shook her head. She "knew she couldn't be spared so long." Secretly, she doubted whether it would be a good plan to go back and get a peep at things that might send her home discontented and unhappy. But her mother reasoned otherwise. Faithie must go. "The child mustn't be moped up." She would get on, somehow, without her. Mothers always can. So Faith, by a compromise, went for a fortnight.
The English are sending their spies everywhere. Be very cautious, Faithie, and say nothing to any stranger that you have ever been near Fort Ticonderoga. This part of the country will not be safe until American soldiers take the place of the English in the fort." "Oh, mother dear, I hope they will soon. I wish that I could help take the fort."
"For pity's sake, child, we must see to it that you are soon as strong and well as Faith," said Mrs. Carew, untying the broad scarlet ribbon and taking off Esther's hat. She smoothed back the dark hair with a tender hand, remembering that Esther's own mother was not well, and resolving to do her best for this delicate child. "I think the pumpkin is cooked by this time, Faithie.
"Oh, doctor!" "And oh, Miss Faithie! This is no place for you. You ought to be in bed." "But I can't. Mother is all alone, except Mahala. And I don't dare stay up there, either. What shall we do?" For all answer, the doctor had just taken her in his arms, and carried her down to the sofa in the hall, where he laid her, and covered her over with his greatcoat.
There was so much laughter and merriment in the kitchen that Aunt Prissy looked in for a moment. "Faithie dear, who are the little girls in the corner?" she asked.
"Why, what has come over you, Faithie, to set you catechising so?" Faith laughed. "Just answer this, please, and I won't ask a single question more to-night." "About the rent? Why, this house ought to bring six hundred, certainly. And now, if the court will permit, I'll read the news."
