I used to see the little girls coming home, as they passed our door, so merrily, with their bags from the school-house; and I'm sure, if it were only to have the pleasure of going there and back again for the sake of the run, I'd have worked hard, if for nothing else." "Would you like to learn to read and write?"

"I was just thinkin' she might like things a mite decent onct in a while." "Lad lad who in the wide world are ye!" Patsy checked her outburst with a warning hand: "No don't ye be telling me. Ye couldn't turn out anything better nor a tinker and I'd rather keep ye as I found ye.

He could understand just why I didn't want to be called hard names, and yet I didn't object to his thinkin' whatever he pleased.

Uncle William nodded. "The' 's a good many things I'd o't to 'a' been if I'd had time. That's the trouble with livin'. You don't hev time. You jest practise a day or two on suthin' get kind o' ust to it and then you up and hev to do suthin' else. I like cookin' fust rate while I'm doin' it. . . .
