She has been so used to do nothing but run round after Hendie, that, really, she isn't much good about the house; and I'll take Hendie's trundle bed into my room, and there'll be one less chamber to take care of; and you know we always dust and arrange down here." "Yes but the sweeping, Faithie! And the washing! Parthenia never would get through with it all."
Carew was loading his musket, and Faith's mother was packing a knapsack with provisions. "Here are the children," said Mrs. Eldridge, as she turned toward the door; and then Esther saw that her father was waiting for Mr. Carew. "Faithie dear, your father is going to Castleton," said Mrs.
"Precious little in the bank, now, Faithie. Enough to keep house with for a year, nearly, perhaps. But if I were to take it and go off and spend it in traveling, you can understand that the housekeeping would fall short, can't you?" Faith looked horrified.
"Believe, darling, that we are led, through all. That the oil of joy is but as an anointing for a nobler work. It is only so I dare to think of it. We shall have plenty to do, Faithie! And, perhaps, to bear. It will all be set before us, in good time." "But nothing can be hard to do, any more. That is what makes me almost feel unworthy. Look at Nurse Sampson. Look at Glory.
Kinnicutt has begun to grow; and when places or people once take a start, there's no knowing what they may come to. Here's something for you, Faithie, that I dare say tells all about it." And he tossed over her shoulder, upon the table, a letter, bearing her name, in Margaret Rushleigh's chirography, upon the cover.
What made Faithie a bit sober, all at once, when the key was turned, and they passed on, out under the elms, into the lane again?
"You see you have six hundred and fifty dollars a year from these, and this house would be six hundred more, and mother says she can manage on that, in the country, if I will help her." Mr. Gartney shaded his eyes with his hand. Not wholly, perhaps, to shield them from the light. "You're a good girl, Faithie," said he, presently; and there was assuredly a little tremble in his voice.
I believe she expects to help Paul overseer the factory, one of these days, she is so fierce to peer into and understand everything about it. Or else, she means mischief! You had a funny look in your face, Faithie, the other day, when you stood there by the great rope that hoists the water gate, and Mr. Blasland was explaining it to us!"
It is some material I have in the house; a fine blue thibet, and I shall put ruffles on the skirt. That will be your Sunday dress," said Aunt Priscilla, "and your father wrote me you were to have the best shoes that the shoemaker can make for you. We'll see about the shoes to-morrow. Did you bring your blue beads, Faithie? But of course you did. They will be nice to wear with your blue frock.
By and by, Margaret called her brother to sing with her. "Come, Faithie," said Paul, drawing her gently by the hand. "I can't sing unless you go, too." Faith went; more, it seemed, of his will, than her own. "How does that appear to you?" said Mr. Rushleigh to his wife. "Is it all right? Does the child care for Paul?" "Care!" exclaimed the mother, almost surprised into too audible speech.
