You are like so many intrusive oxen absolutely! One of your men trod on my toe the other night, and what do you think the creature did? Jerks back, then the half of him forward I thought he was going to break in two then grins, and grunts, "Oh! 'm sure, beg pardon, 'm sure!" I don't know whether he didn't say, MARM! The Countess lifted her hands, and fell away in laughing horror.
Riccabocca's arm; and, after a kind leave-taking with the widow, the ladies returned towards Riccabocca's house. Mrs. Fairfield, however, ran after them with Leonard's hat and gloves, which he had forgotten. "'Deed, boy," she said, kindly, yet scoldingly, "but there'd be no more fine books, if the Lord had not fixed your head on your shoulders. You would not think it, marm," she added to Mrs.
Not that every day was bright and hopeful. The carefully kept record was black enough on occasions, beginning with the morning when Helen, sitting in the circle, felt a rough hand on her head, and Marm Lisa, without the slightest warning of her intention, snatched Mary's steel band forcibly from her hair, and, taking it across the room, put it in its accustomed place on its owner's head.
"I'd just like to have you see marm," said Seth shyly as they drove to the mill door. "She'd like you an' you'd like her. I don't suppose your aunts would let you go up-country, would they? It's pretty up there; mountains, an' cleared pastur's way up their sides higher 'n you'd git in an afternoon.
"To play on, of course! What did you think I wanted it for?" "But you can't play, can you?" "Not yet; but I expect you could show me some now, couldn't you?" "What put it into your head to want to play on the violin?" asked Philip, with some curiosity. "Why, you see, the girls like it. It would be kind of nice when I go to a party, or marm has company, to scrape off a tune or two-just like you do.
Mash!" said Miss Philomela, losing all patience with the cook. "I I boo-boo-hoo! can't help it, marm." "Nonsense!" said the superior female. "As for you, Marcus, you should not encourage such folly, when you have troubles that demand our sober and earnest attention. With reference to the past, I might say a great many things, but I forbear.
"Please, marm, where is the other boy, my shipmate?" I asked. "He was very ill only for three or four days, and is now well enough to go down to the brig with my father," she replied. "But I must not let you talk too much. You were to have some food, the doctor said, when you came to yourself. Here, Maggie, bring the broth and toast."
I'm feared they'll break in." "Go and tell them that Mrs Forster is too ill to be taken out of bed, and that she is out of her senses d'ye hear, Betsy, tell them all she is stark staring mad!" "Yes, I will, marm," replied Betsy, wiping her eyes as she left the room. Miss Dragwell walked to the window.
I detarmined that them children and that hard-working woman should have enough to eat, constable or no constable. "'Wait, says I to the constable, 'till I go drive up the cow; she's hard to find. "He sat down. Marm and the children began to sob and cry agin. I tell you, gals, it was cruel as the grave. "I went to the wood-pile and took the axe from between two logs.
Their frocks'll git torn if they help us, an' they'll git afire or or somethin'!" "Nuck's sisters will be there. They'll want other girls," said the wise Lot. "An' b'sides, Mis' Harding'll be lots better to us if the girls is there. She allus is my marm is. Mothers like girls, but boys is only a nuisance, they says."
