There they were, sitting in a little circle close together, Arabella and Gabella Sarah fast asleep, with their heads in Belinda's lap; Isaphine crying; Tommy sitting a little apart, an evil smile on his face, in his hand a pair of scissors! "You naughty, naughty, naughty boy," screamed Mell, flinging herself upon him. With a howl of terror, Tommy started up and prepared to flee.
On they came their passions excited by their numbers women and men, children and malignant age in all the awful array of aroused, released, unresisted physical strength and brutal wrath; "Death to the traitor death to the tyrant death to him who has taxed the people!" "Mora l' traditore che ha fatta la gabella! Mora!" Such was the cry of the people such the crime of the Senator!
All was peaceful and serene, and when Mell said good-by she surprised herself by feeling quite sorry to go, and kissed Gabella Sarah's small face with tears in her eyes. Grandmother was just such a dear old woman as one reads about in books. Her cheeks were all criss-crossed with little wrinkles, which made her look as if she were always smiling. Her forehead was smooth, her eyes kind and blue.
I shall be at the window, and see you all the time. Will you promise to be good and do as I tell you?" "Es," lisped Gabella Sarah. "Es," said Isaphine. "Yes, yes," clamored the others, headed by Tommy, who was a child of promise if ever there was one. All the time his eyes were fixed on the table drawer! Mell went upstairs. First into the children's room, then into her own.
Then I should have to take care of the children; and I'd get somebody to nail some boards, so as to make five dear little cubby-houses inside the chest. I'd put Tommy in one, Isaphine in another, Arabella Jane in another, Belinda in another, and Gabella Sarah in another. Then I'd shut the lid down and fasten it, and wouldn't I have a good time!
Give you a silly book to read, and the children might perish before your eyes for all you'd notice. Look at Isaphine, and Gabella Sarah. Little lambs, as likely as not they've taken their deaths. It shan't happen again, though. Give me that book " And, snatching Mell's treasure from her hands, Mrs. Davis flung it into the fire.
