'But if they would not go away, little mistress, asked Reuben, 'what were you to do then? 'I was to drive them 'way, she answered, advancing boldly against us with many flaps. 'You bad man! she continued, flashing out at me, 'you have broken granny's bolt. 'Nay, I'll mend it again, I answered penitently, and catching up a stone I soon fastened the injured staple.
But Ted obediently got down on "all fours" while the small folks clambered up on his back and he "rode" them over to the bed, their bathrobes flying as they went. Arrived at the destination Ted deftly deposited his load in a giggling, squirming heap on the rug and then gathering up the small Hester, swung her aloft, bringing her down with her rose bud of a mouth close to Granny's pale cheeks.
They were talking at home of the new entertainment to be given for Jimmy-boy's benefit, and she was to act a part in it as well as Edith. It was "Jimmy's play," but Jimmy was not to appear in it at all. Kyzie and Edith together were to print the tickets with a pen. There were only ten days in which to prepare for the play called "Granny's Quilting."
If he were allowed to rule they would soon end in the workhouse! So Lars Peter avoided the question, and after Granny's visit, and having seen her and Sörine together, he understood they would be best apart. They did not come to his home again, but when he was buying up in their part of the country, he would call in at the hut on the Naze and take a cup of coffee with them.
Jessie's eyes, though, were caught by a wreath of feathery moss with little blue forget-me-nots peeping out of it here and there, and when she was asked which she liked best, she decidedly picked out that one. To her great delight her granny's taste agreed with her, and the wreath and the hat and a piece of white ribbon were put aside together. "Now," laughed Mrs.
I don't let out owld granny's sacrets," said Malachi, gracefully waving his head to and fro to the squeaking of the bellows; then, suddenly tossing back the long, dangling black elf-locks that curled down the sides of his lank, yellow cheeks, and winking knowingly with his comical little deep-seated black eyes, he burst out again
The tea-table had been placed to one side, near Granny's chair, and as Madam laughed heartily at Terencia's prattle no one could have suggested that the coming of this bright little creature had been as a nightmare to the old lady for many weeks past. But after the children were gone to bed Madam Trimleston said to Nancy: "I must say a few words to Lally. Ask him to come up here and speak to me."
In the midst of this little scene Granny's bell rang violently, and Nurse Nancy hastened away to see what was the cause of the unusual sound. "Nancy!" cried Madam, "let me see the children immediately. I have wonderful news for them. Their father and mother will be here with us to-night!"
After supper was over little Gretchen drew her stool up to Granny's side, and laying her soft, little hands on Granny's knee, asked to be told once again the story of the coming of the Christ-Child; how the night that he was born the beautiful angels had sung their wonderful song, and how the whole sky had become bright with a strange and glorious light, never seen by the people of earth before.
Marshall died on the eve of the New Year, and both Mr. Hamilton and I feared that Elspeth would soon follow her. A hard frost had set in, and granny's feeble strength seemed to succumb under the pressure of the severe cold; she had taken to her bed, and lay there growing weaker every day. Poor Mary had died very peacefully, with her hand in her husband's.
