The villagers formed two ranks, and when the children appeared, each family seized its own. The whole houseful of women caught hold of Constance, surrounded her and kissed her, and Rosa was especially demonstrative.
Marie set staunchly to work, for she was a courageous and sensible woman. It is not one of the so-called elevating employments to have charge of a houseful of little children, with no means of satisfying even moderate requirements in respect of comfort and well-being.
So Stella invaded the Abbey-Monohan precincts by herself and enjoyed it for she met a houseful of young people from the coast, and in that light-hearted company she forgot for the time being that she was married and the responsible mistress of a house. Paul Abbey was there, but he had apparently forgotten or forgiven the blow she had once dealt his vanity.
Then it happened, rather oddly, that when Cousin Jennie came down for her, as there was no one scarcely at Fordham but the regular family, Mrs. Odell was going to have a houseful of relatives from the West. She just wished they had their new house at such times as these. She could make a bed on the floor for Janey and Polly, and that would give her two spare rooms.
"Luff," he would cry, "luff, luff, and come to win'ward and we'll give you the weight o' the mainsail down the hill." It would be doing a man's heart good to be hearing Bryde making a mock of the old captain at these times, and the good laughter of him that would start a houseful o' folk to laugh also. It was when he was for McKinnon's that he fell in with Helen.

"Come, come, mother," said Dr.
"To-morrow will be Christmas-eve last Christmas-eve oh, Mamma!" Little Ellen Chauncey soon came back, and sitting down beside her on the foot of the bed, began the business of undressing. "Don't you love Christmas time?" said she; "I think it's the pleasantest in all the year; we always have a houseful of people, and such fine times. But then in summer I think that's the pleasantest.
George had the courage to stick to his point, and the result was a heated and angry scene their first real quarrel which ended in Letty's rushing upstairs in tears, and declaring she would go nowhere. He might go to Castle Luton, if he pleased; she was far too agitated and exhausted to face a houseful of strangers.
They get so much per head the more numerous the family and the larger the pay becomes. But it is not very extraordinary at the best of times; and if even a preacher happened to have a complete houseful of children, if his quiver were absolutely full of them, he would not be pecuniarly rich.
But if you ever do work up to be a sheepman, and of course you will if you stick to the range long enough, you'll never be able to leave again. Sheep tie a person down like a houseful of children." "Maybe I'd never want to go. I've had my turn at it out there; I've been snubbed and discounted, all but despised, because I had a little learning and no money to go with it.
