The time was given up to talk about plans for our future, and that night when we two crept into bed, I felt that I had been eased of a heavy burden, for Benjamin was willing to await grandma's return.
"We'll do that," decided the children's father. "We'll change at Clearwell, and get on a train there that will take us to Sagatook earlier." The name of the station where they were to start to drive to grandma's was Sagatook. The lake was five miles back in the woods. They were soon near the junction, where two railroad lines came together, and there the Bunkers were to change.
Grandmother was perfectly horror-stricken; but desirous of making Carrie feel as comfortable as possible, she said, "S'posin somebody should tell him about Penoyer?" For an instant Carrie turned pale, as she said quickly, "What does any one know about him to tell?" "A great deal more than you think they do yes, a great deal," was grandma's answer.
They would spend hours telling you about their different remedies and would offer you spoonful after spoonful of vile-looking liquid, and be mildly grieved when you refused to take it. Grandma's hands are so bent and twisted that she can't sew, so dear old Grandpa tries to do it. Mrs. O'Shaughnessy told me that she helped out when she could.
In the few minutes since she had entered the room she had made the place look as if a whirlwind had swept through it, and Helen felt a nervous fear of Miss Armstrong's walking in and witnessing her untidy condition. "Do you like it here?" she enquired directly. "Yes, I think I do. Algonquin is so beautiful, but " "But you can't stand my poky aunts, and Grandma's jokes, eh?"
Prove it, and I'd make short work of him; and if it's lies, I'll bring you into court for it." "I'll leave it for you to prove; you're one of those who thinks every yarn entertaining till they touch yourself." "Two to one on Carry every time when me grandma's the umpire," grinned Andrew round the corner. "Carry, you've had enough to say.
Notwithstanding these discouragements, I took my clothes, which were tied up in a colored handkerchief, kissed them all good-bye, and rode away sitting behind my new brother on the spotted horse, really believing that I should be back in a few days on a visit. We left the Fort and grandma's house far behind, and still rode on and on.
"I don't know which was the most pleased to see father, Grandma or I," continued Paul. "Grandma's been in kitchen all day making the things father likes to eat. She wouldn't trust them to Mary Joe, she says. That's HER way of showing gladness. I like best just to sit and talk to father. But I'm going to leave you for a little while now if you'll excuse me. I must get the cows for Mary Joe.
She dwelt long upon His love, standing always with hands reverently clasped before her, and eyes downcast with awe. I used to long to hear her speak. The sound of that low, tender monotone was in itself inexpressibly soothing. But Grandma's tongue had its mild edge, as well. Once, when she was speaking, a number of the young people it was a common occurrence rose to go out.
"She told me I might have as many's I wanted," said Joel, with great satisfaction. "I like Grandma ever so much." "Take care, Joey, you don't take too many," said Mrs. Pepper. "Grandma's good to you, so you must be good to her, and come right home from here. You may stay half an hour," pointing to the old clock. "Miss Jerusha will be gone by that time," she said to herself with a grim smile.
