But I have said thus much about Katy's face and form in order to explain the secret of her great success as a candy merchant. Hundreds of persons would buy a stick of candy of a little girl with a pretty face and a graceful form, who would not do so of one less attractive.
"Our little Katy's most obedient!" replied he, taking off his broad-brimmed straw hat, and making a flourishing bow nearly to the ground. "Don't be afraid of him, Katy dear; he's nobody," said my aunt, laughing. At these encouraging words I glanced up at the merry pair, and thought them almost as pretty as the rose and hummingbird.
In an instant Tom made his appearance with a decided color in his cheeks; and Miss Katy well, Miss Katy's face was the color of a peony, or a carnation. Shall I reveal to you, gentle reader, what Tom told me long afterward? He had advanced and been repulsed had attacked and been "scattered." Pardon the slang of the army, and admire the expeditious operations of the gentlemen of the cavalry!
"Jim says Katy's that sweet an' pleasant about it that ye can't do nothin'. She tells 'em she's kerrectin' 'em fur their own good, an' that they need culturin'. An' Jim says she spends all o' meal-time tellin' 'bout the things on the table, salt, an' where folks git it, an' pepper, an' tumblers, an' how folks make 'em.
On his return, he noticed the kitchen-apron, picked it up and held it a moment irresolutely. Then opening a door in the wainscot near the fireplace he flung it in. Before the door went to, Elsie had a glimpse of worse disorder of the sort that is supposed to pertain to a junk-shop. "That's Katy's apron," remarked Mrs. Middleton plaintively.
Plausaby has all of my money and all of Katy's." Isabel was on the point of complaining that Albert should lend to Mr. Plausaby, but she disliked to take any liberty, even that of reproof. Ever since she knew that the family had thought of marrying her to Albert, she had been an iceberg to him. He should not dare to think that she had any care for him.
When her door opened and she saw her young mistress framed in it she tossed the magazine aside and sprang to her feet, but Linda made her resume her seat. The girl shortened the stems of the roses and put them in a vase on Katy's dresser. "They may clash with your coloring a mite, Mother Machree," she said, "but by themselves they are very wonderful things, aren't they?"
"Yours truly, MARIAN HAZELTON, "No. Fourth St., 4th floor, N.Y." "Who is Marian Hazelton?" Wilford asked himself as he threw down the missive. "Some of Katy's country friends, I dare say. Seems to me I have heard that name. She certainly writes as Genevra did, except that this Hazelton's is more decided and firm. Poor Genevra!"
The baby began to laugh and coo as soon as it caught sight of its gay little mother, and exhibited just such another dimple as hers, in the middle of a pink cheek. Katy was enchanted. "Oh, you darling!" she said. "Would she come to me, do you think, Rose?" "Why, of course she shall," replied Rose, picking up the baby as if she had been a pillow, and stuffing her into Katy's arms head first.
They counted the steeples of four churches, and their father presently showed them the Topham Academy, where their grandmother once went to school, and told them that perhaps some day they would go there too. Katy's heart gave a strange leap; it was such a tremendous thing to think of, but instantly the suggestion was transformed for her into one of the certainties of life.
