If you knew what news I have for you you'd look sharper."
At the same time he recalled suddenly that he had not played a single game with his tin soldiers that whole morning. The boy had a logical mind. He knew that Granny's story had not been finished, and he wanted all of it. At the first opportune moment he asked his mother: "Was Granny a little girl when she came to Stockholm?" "No," said his mother unsuspectingly, "she was already a young woman."
I knew you from Granny's description, the moment you broke out so in the police office," answered Cap. "Humph! Yes, you're right; and it was your Granny that bequeathed you to me, Capitola." "Then she is really dead?" "Yes. There don't cry about her. She was very old, and she died happy. Now, Capitola, if you please me I mean to adopt you as my own daughter." "Yes, father."
Michael kissed Nelly's clear brow, and bestowed his usual "buss," as he called it, on granny's withered cheek; then shouldering his oilskin coat, he took his way towards the landing-place at the mouth of the harbour.

As Granny and she got ready for bed that night, Gretchen put her arms softly around Granny's neck, and whispered: "What a beautiful Christmas we have had today, Granny. Is there anything more lovely in all the world than Christmas?" "Nay, child, nay," said Granny, "not to such loving hearts as yours." Published by the Chicago Kindergarten College. By Maud Lindsay

"Tell my friends and companions when they meet and scrouge around"; that is the way they sang it, but no one would have cared for that, if they had noticed with what happy eagerness the two sang together.
Me an' him hed lots o' fun together when I 'resided' with his mamma, didn't we, Yan? Now, Granny's the one to tell ye all about the plants." A long groan from Sam now called all attention his way. "Well, if it ain't Sam Raften," said Biddy coldly. "Yes, an' he's deathly sick," added Granny. "Their own docther guv him up an said mortal man couldn't save him nohow, so he jest hed to come to me."
