"I do not think Andy walks as lame as he did," she mused, watching the boy disappearing down a woody path. "He is always on the go," Janie broke in. "He practices walking without his crutch more than I think wise; but one can do little with men-folk!" Janie tossed her head proudly. Andy was a growing delight to her. "It may do him good," Ruth added; "he looks stronger and and gladder."
But I thank you all the same from my heart for your confidence and love; and I'm gladder than you'll ever know, Gerty, that they are still the same. And thus the two girls kissed silently and fervently, and poor Gertrude Chattesworth wept uncomplainingly, looking out upon the dark prospect. 'And you'll tell me, darling, when you're happier, as you soon will be? said Lily. 'I will I will indeed.
You and father will be the busiest partners in New York and you will have to report for duty at our new little apartment every evening before six. I'm so glad that you can leave all those dangers, and gladder still because of my own selfish gratifications. After to-night." "Well, I'm scared of to-night more than I was of that police parade on May Day, with all that fuss about the medal.
If any man doubts it, I will prove it to him by any means he wishes, from fists up to howitzers. You have made a lot of fools of yourselves by allowing an old crook like Norris to play in with you. I haven't a bit of sympathy for you. I'm glad you lost your money, and I'd feel gladder if you all went broke. This is the end of this adventure. Where's Norris? We want that magpie horse which we won."
Smythe and I got out at a station to walk up and down, and when we came back Smythe's bed was in the hanging shelf and an English cavalry officer was in bed on the sofa which he had lately been occupying. It was mean to be glad about it, but it is the way we are made; I could not have been gladder if it had been my enemy that had suffered this misfortune.
I must own I myself always loved a busy, bustling time, when there seemed a little more to be done in each day than we could crowd into it; which was our case now, wheat harvest having begun. And I was gladder than common of the stir and the bustle, for it helped to stupefy and dull a pain there was at my heart whenever the thought crossed me how soon Harry would be gone.
But, somehow, I don't think I ever wanted Pollyanna to grow up. She was such a dear, just as she was. I like to think of her as I saw her last, her earnest, freckled little face, her yellow pigtails, her tearful: 'Oh, yes, I'm glad I'm going; but I think I shall be a little gladder when I come back. That's the last time I saw her. You know we were in Egypt that time she was here four years ago."
"You know how hard it is for me NOT to talk," smiled Anne. At first she was too weak and too happy to notice that Gilbert and the nurse looked grave and Marilla sorrowful. Then, as subtly, and coldly, and remorselessly as a sea-fog stealing landward, fear crept into her heart. Why was not Gilbert gladder? Why would he not talk about the baby?
"You're much gladder to see it than you were me," pouted Miss Polly. "I'm not half as afraid of it," he admitted. "Mr. Brewster, your health." "Here's to you, my boy. Now I'll leave you with your nurse, and make my final arrangements. We're off by special in the morning." "That's fine!" said the scientist.
Luckily there was yet time, and he could ride with full speed to his brother's castle, and bid him return to take the battle on himself. With a gladder face than he had known for long, he sought out the duchess and her daughter, and told them his plan.
