And probably he can make a whole lot of people think that I was very ungrateful, and that he is quite right in trying to get me back into the same state as Hedgeville." "They'd better talk to Miss Eleanor, if he makes them think that. They'll soon find out which is right and which is wrong in that business. And if she doesn't tell them, I guess Mr.
She left the two girls together, then, to answer a call from outside the room. "I don't exactly like Farmer Weeks myself," said Bessie, thoughtfully, when they were alone. "But what's the use of hating him, Zara?" "Why, Bessie! He made us run away from Hedgeville he made me anyhow.
"It's Jericho, and it's in your own state, Miss Bessie. Didn't you tell me that you used to live in Hedgeville? That's not so very far from here."
There wouldn't be enough excitement about living in the country for you, I'm afraid." "Of course there wouldn't! But I think maybe I was sort of unfair to all country people because the crowd at Hedgeville was so mean to you. And I like the country well enough, for a little while. I couldn't bear living there all the time, though. I think that would drive me wild."
"We're making an awful lot of trouble for her, Bessie." "I know we are, and we've got to show her that we're grateful and do anything we can to help her, if she ever needs our help. I thought when we started from Hedgeville after the fire that we would be able to get along together somehow, Zara, but I see now how foolish that was." "I believe you'd have managed somehow, Bessie.
"Well, of course it isn't possible right now, Bessie, but I've been thinking that some time, when Maw Hoover has gotten over her dislike for you, you may be able to teach her and some of the other farm women in Hedgeville how much more pleasant their lives could be." Bessie looked surprised. "Why, I don't believe I'll ever dare go back there," she said.
They'll ask you questions, though, and you'll just have to answer them, and tell the truth just as you know it." "Yes, that's why I'm here," said Jamieson, nodding his head. "You see, I may need you very badly and I want to make sure that they can't take you back to Hedgeville.
"You brute!" said Eleanor, hotly. "What are your terms?" "Ah, that would be telling! You will have to wait to discover that. You see, Silas Weeks wasn't quite as stupid as the rest of the people at Hedgeville, and when he couldn't find out what old Slavin was doing there, he came to me because he thought I probably could." "Slavin!" said Eleanor, in an amazed tone.
"I know they're beautiful, and that it's splendid for people to be able to come up here and live, and camp out. But that isn't the only reason, is it?" "No, it isn't even anywhere near the most important, Bessie. You know what a dry summer means, don't you? You lived long enough on Paw Hoover's farm at Hedgeville to know that?" "Yes, indeed! It's bad for the crops; they all get burned up.
It was Tom Norris, the friendly train conductor who had helped Zara and herself to escape to Pine Bridge, and out of the state in which Hedgeville was situated. "Come, come; what's this?" asked the train conductor sharply. "Let go of that girl's arm, you Weeks!" "What business is it of your'n!" asked Weeks, angrily.
