Was He not sincere and true? If so, these plain words must have a plain meaning. He surely couldn't have meant them only for the few people who heard His voice at that time." "Of course not," said Mrs. Groody, musingly, while poor Mrs. Lacey leaned forward with such an eager, hungry look in her poor, worn face, that Edith's heart yearned over her.
Lacey! and are you here?" said Edith, trying to rise. "You surely will protect me." "Do not be afraid, Miss Allen. No one would harm you for the world; and Mrs. Groody is a good kind lady, and will see you safely home, I am sure." Edith now became conscious that it was Mrs. Groody who was supporting her, and regained confidence, as she recognized the presence of a woman.
Edith greatly shocked Mrs. Allen by having the ceremony performed in the garden. "Why not?" she said. "God once married a couple there." Mrs. Groody, Mr. and Mrs. McTrump, Mrs. Ranger, Mrs. Hart and her daughters, and quite a number of other friends were present.
Edith spoke in a rapid manner, but in a tone that went straight to the heart. "Why, my poor child," said Mrs. Groody, wiping her eyes, "you can't do work. You are pale as a ghost, and you look like a delicate lady." "What is there in this world for a delicate lady who has no money but honest work?" asked Edith, in a tone that was almost stern.
Before they could go upstairs a hack from the hotel stopped at the door, and Mrs. Groody bustled cheerily in. Laura at the same time came down, saying that Mrs. Allen was asleep. "Hannibal," said Edith, "you may sit on the stairs, and if she wakes, or makes any sound, let me know," and she took a seat near the door in order to hear.
Groody, everything ain't done in a minute everything ain't just right. I'd like to know where 'tis in this jumbled-up world not where they're housekeepers, I warrant you. "Well, as I was telling you," continued Mrs. Groody, with a weary sigh, "that summer was too much for me. I got to be a very dragon. I hadn't time to read my Bible, or pray, or go to church, or scarcely eat or sleep.
Groody, like one of old, climbed up into her chariot, and "went on her way rejoicing." In their close good-night embrace, Laura whispered, "I begin to understand it a little now, Edie, but I think I see everything only through your eyes, not my own." "As old Malcom said to me the other day, so now I say to you, 'Ye'll learn it a' soon." Edith soon retired to rest also, and Mrs. Lacey sat at Mrs.
"Well, be that as it may, I feel that I know very little about these things yet. I'm sure I want to be guided rightly. But what did our Lord mean when He said, 'Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest'?" Mrs. Groody gave Edith a sort of surprised and startled look. After a moment she said, "Bless you, child, how plain you do put it!
"Standin' there and holdin' of her," continued Mrs. Groody, who was sometimes a little severe on both sexes, "won't bring her to, unless she fainted 'cause she wanted some one to hold her." A general laugh greeted this implied satire, but Arden, between anger and desire to do something, was almost beside himself.
Hannibal now appeared at the door, saying, rather huskily and brokenly, considering his message: "Miss Edie, you'se mudder's awake, an' 'd like some water." "That's what we all have been wanting, 'water' 'the water of life," said Mrs. Groody, wiping her eyes, "and never was my parched old heart so refreshed before.
