"You know the old proverb, 'Many littles make a mickle. Fifty cents laid by every week will amount to twenty-six dollars in a year." "Of course, that's clear enough. And a dollar saved every week will give the handsome sum of fifty-two dollars a year. Bat how is the half-dollar or the dollar to be saved, I should like to know? I can't do it, I am sure."
The laughing shout that followed him into the Warwick road seemed not to die away, but to linger in the air like the drowsy hum of bees a hum that came and went at intervals upon the shifting wind, and grew by littles, taking body till it came unbroken as a long, low, distance-muffled murmur from the south, so faint as scarcely to be heard. Nick Attwood pricked his keen young ears.
'And you can't pay them each a little? says I, 'for I am real wise about that way of doing, you know." Mrs. Carroll said the last with the air of a precocious child; she looked askance for admiration as she said it, and laughed herself with the others. "'No, says poor Anna 'no, Amy, there is not enough money for two littles, only enough for one little.
It is the individual influence we shall have, the individual relief and the individual help for mind and body, that will be ours. If it is His will, He can make others see the many littles as one great whole, or they may see nothing done, while we have the comfort of the littles we know have been done." The nurses and probationers arrived in the middle of May, and then work began in good earnest.
He got his money that way by 'littles and dribbles' and I fancy he thinks small pay is all right." "My glo-ree! You bet he does!" said Trimmins. "But the elder never had but one leastways, two chillen to raise. He wouldn't ha' got rich very fast with my family no, sir!" "Perhaps that is so," Janice admitted.
The condition of Welbury, when this piece of news was fairly in circulation in the town, could be compared to nothing but the buzz of a beehive at swarming time. A letter which was received by the Littles, a few days later, from Dr. Williams himself, did not at first allay the buzzing.
I employ an English phrase to describe a class for which, in our modern democratic New England, there is no counterpart. The Stoddards, Littles, and Wendells, of Pittsfield, were represented. Colonel Ashley was there from Sheffield, Justices Dwight and Whiting from Great Barrington, and Barker from Lanesborough, with many more.
I send you with this a receipt for a year of Littles Living Age, i didn't know what you would like & i told Mr. Brown is going to write to you sometime i hope some day you will write to me, this letter is from your very true friend who you know as Jack Hunt. I send you Mr. Brown's card. Send my letter to him.
His thin face flushed and he pretended to pick a sliver from his foot as he answered: "Let's me an' you hire the littles' house an' pay the rent ourselves an' Goober Glory do our cookin' an' sewin' an' an' quit yer foolin', Billy Buttons! This ain't no make-b'lieve, this ain't. I plumb mean it."
Littles thought the Yankees were in too great force for him to attack, for his horses could be heard moving away. The boys followed them with shots aimed at the sound. Si and Shorty ran down forward a little ways, hoping to get a better sight. The rebels halted, apparently dis mounted, got behind a fence and began firing back at intervals.
