"Nor I neither, not exactly.
She's very sensitive to the defects in her early education; but I made her understand that it was the heart more than the head that I cared for. I dare say, Gracie, she'll fall into all our little ways without really knowing; and you, in point of fact, will be mistress of the house as much as you ever were.
"He's her pet." "Don't mind what she says, Mr. Levinsky," her mother exhorted me. "She just loves to tease me." "Mother is right," Elsie interposed. "Moissey is not her pet. lf somebody is, it's I, isn't it, ma?" Anna smiled good-naturedly "Gracie is my pet," Mrs. Tevkin rejoined "Gracie and Moissey, both," Tevkin amended. "Moissey is her first-born, don't you know.
Knowledge was all smoke! Emotional faith alone was truth reality! "Ah, Gracie!" he said, "search if you must, but where will you find bottom? The well is too deep for us. You will come back to God, my child, when you're tired out; the only rest is there." "I don't want to rest. Some people search all their lives, and die searching. Why shouldn't I. "You will be most unhappy, my child."
"It is a long way, Gracie," said Jack. "A fearfully long way," said Rose. "Suppose, Rose, that Jack was as far away, would you think it a long way to go to see him?" asked Grace. "O, Gracie! No, no," said Rose. "When did you hear last from your husband?" asked Hobart. "This afternoon," said Grace. "And how long, Grace, before he will be in England?" asked Jack.
Kneeling by the side of her mistress she breathed out a prayer full of tenderness, hope, and trust. Marie grew calmer. It seemed as if that earnest, trustful prayer had breathed into her soul a feeling of resignation. Gracie stood wonderingly by, vainly trying to comprehend the great sorrow which was overwhelming the life of her mother.
"A beastly shame!" cried Gracie vehemently, flinging discretion to the winds; she adored her brother Julian. "He never spoke a single word!" "Go, Julian!" said Mr. Lorimer. Julian went, banging the door vigorously behind him. Then, amid an awful silence, the Vicar turned his scrutiny upon his small daughter.
In the fall he would probably be ordered away; then Violet would return to Ion with her mother and the rest of the family, taking his children with her, if Mr. Dinsmore and Elsie should still feel willing to take them in charge. He had a high opinion of Dr. Conly's skill as a physician, and was extremely anxious to place Gracie under his care.
Sick babies make me feel so sorry I want to cry, and old women who smell of gin and want to sell iron-holders really scare me. Oh, dear! I guess I'm an awful coward!" Nan laughed. "What are you going to do with that crisp dollar bill I saw your father tuck into your hand at breakfast, Gracie?" she asked. "Oh, I don't know. I hadn't thought. Papa is always so thoughtful.
"You are nice and kind to come, both of you," Gracie said, receiving and returning their caresses. "Mammy," Violet said as she turned to leave the room, "I'm afraid you are not able to take the care of her through the night." "Yes, I is, honey darlin'," responded the old woman with warmth.
