Virgie will like a house so much more than this." "Of course, of course it's the only proper thing for a family.... You'll have to do the whole thing, Madam." She shook her thick finger at Milly solemnly. "What's that?" "Muslin curtains at all the front windows, and a real fireplace in the livin'-room " "And window boxes at the windows and real oil lamps on the table, Mr. Geyer!"
Before she could think of a reply Georgie asked another question. "You say he'll come down the chimney?" he queried. "Yes." "The livin'-room chimney?" "Yes, probably." "No, he won't." "Georgie!" "How can he? He's so fat; he's ever so fat in the pictures. How can he get through the stovepipe?" Mrs. Barnes' answer was evasive and Georgie noticed the evasion.
When she slammed out of that livin'-room she went right up the back stairs to her bedroom and I chased after her. She was cryin', or next door to it, and I wanted to comfort her. But she wouldn't let me." "I see. Probably she didn't hear him call at all. He did, though; and he called her by her first name. Matters between 'em must have gone further'n we thought they had." "Yes, I guess that's so.
"Why why," she whispered, "there's somebody down in the livin'-room! Who is it?" "I don't know. There are more than one, for I heard them talking. Who CAN it be?" Thankful listened again. "Where's Georgie?" she whispered, after a moment. "In his room, I suppose. . . . What? You don't think " Thankful had tiptoed back to her own room and was returning with the lamp.
