"Dark blue might be beautiful," Julia submitted timidly. "Or a sort of blue brocade," 'Lizabeth said dreamily. "And I'll tell you what we'll name the cars," George, the second brother, suddenly contributed; "you know they've got to be named, Pete. We'll call the dining-car, 'Dinah, and the sleeper, 'Bertha'; do you see?"
Lambe's sending, and forthwith the sick-room was got into a more tolerable condition, Mrs. Ormonde procuring whatever the nurse desired. Much private talk passed downstairs between Mrs. Gandle and 'Lizabeth, who were greatly astonished at the fuss made over the girl they had supposed friendless. 'Now let this be a lesson to you, 'Lizabeth. said the good woman, several times.
Her matter-of-fact voice ruled the confusion. "Jim, you do as 'Lizabeth tells you, or you'll get another whipping, sir! Pour that milk into the pitcher, Brother. Put on both sugar bowls, darling; Brother likes the brown. Martie, dearest, I am ashamed of this muss, but in two minutes I'll have them all started there's baby 'Lizabeth, there's baby; you'll have to go up " "I'll go up!"
She calls her Lizzie. We couldn't somehow have it natural to call her 'Lizabeth, and Nan wanted her called for me. I was always Lizzie, you know. Now you must write soon.

I can give my experience, can I? Well, that's jest what I'm a-doin', says she; 'and while I'm about it, says she, 'I'll give in some experience for 'Lizabeth and Maria and the rest of the women who, betwixt their husbands an' the 'Postle Paul, have about lost all the gumption and grit that the Lord started them out with.
