Pryor will come out of it right, so we can take him home, and teach him to behave himself; but if he's gone this minute, I intend to have another decent meal for Shelley to offer her young man; and I don't care if I show Mrs. Pryor that we're not hungry over here, if we do lack servants to carry in food on silver platters." "That I jest would!" said Mrs. Freshett.

Put me to bed an' kiver me warm." I forgot the sting in my eyes watching Mrs. Freshett. She was the largest woman I knew, and strong as most men.
It was almost midnight; but they sat two hours at the table, and then all of them rode." "Not the Missus?" "Oh no! She's not strong enough. She really has incurable heart trouble, the worst kind there is; her daughter told me so." "Then they better look out," said Mrs. Freshett. "She is likely to keel over at a breath." "They must know it. That's why she keeps so quiet."
If a woman is going to live with a man, there are times when she's got to put her foot down flat most unmercifully flat!" "Ain't she though!" said Mrs. Freshett; then she and mother just laughed.

I never had noticed that before. Sally went straight on and at last she came to Freshetts. "I am going to have all of them, too," she said. "The children are good children, and it will help them along to see how things are done when they are right; and I don't care what any one says, I LIKE Mrs. Freshett.

She was so tickled to be there, and see, and help, that mother had hard work to keep her from washing the linen that same night.

I never was so happy in all my life as I was Sunday, when you ast me before all of them, so cordial like, an' says I to Josiah, 'We'll go an' try it once, an' we come an' nobody turned a cold shoulder on us, an' I wa'n't wearin' specks to see if they did, for I never knowed him so happy in all his days.
Freshett had cooked all day, and washed dishes until the last skillet was in place, she had done as much as any neighbour ought to do, and the other things she went on and did were a rebuke to us. I felt sore, weepy, and tired out.
He had broken into the pieces we often feared he would. Robert and Laddie came running to help father carry him in, and lay him on the couch. "I hope, Miss Stanton," said Mrs. Freshett, "that I wa'n't too rough with him.
