Mary's reason for the change is not clear. She may have felt and rightly that the allusions to Lelia and to Myrrha were ample foreshadowings. With this speech, which is not in F of F A, Mary begins to develop the character of the Steward, who later accompanies Mathilda on her search for her father.
Anna scolded and Molly swore strange oaths, and then Miss Mathilda would shut her door hard to show that she could hear it all. At last Anna had to give it up. "Please Miss Mathilda won't you speak to Molly," Anna said, "I can't do a thing with her. I scold her, and she don't seem to hear and then she swears so that she scares me. She loves you Miss Mathilda, and you scold her please once."
He cleared his throat. "She is Mrs. Lincoln now. I've been back to Kentucky to get myself a wife." "Howdy!" The new Mrs. Lincoln was trying to sound cheerful. She beckoned to the children in the wagon. They jumped down and stood beside her. "These here are my young ones," she went on. "The big gal is Betsy. The other one is Mathilda. This little shaver is Johnny."
Miss Mathilda was not there herself to talk with Anna. If it had not been that it was evening, and so dark, and that this house had trees all round about, and that Anna found herself going in and coming out just as the woman that day said that she would do, had it not all been just as the medium said, the good Anna would never have taken the place with Miss Mathilda.
Anna stood strained and pale and dry eyed on the white stone steps of the little red brick house that they had lived in. The last thing Miss Mathilda heard was the good Anna bidding foolish Peter say good bye and be sure to remember Miss Mathilda. Part III
Drehten was always getting worse, and now the doctor thought it would be best to take the tumor out. It was no longer Dr. Shonjen who treated Mrs. Drehten. They all went now to a good old german doctor they all knew. "You see, Miss Mathilda," Anna said, "All the old german patients don't go no more now to Doctor.
Mathilda and Bertha Haydon had no trouble from having Lena for a cousin on the voyage, until the last day that they were on the ship, and by that time they had made their friends and could explain. Mrs. Haydon went down every day to Lena, gave her things to make her better, held her head when it was needful, and generally was good and did her duty by her.
Both were good storytellers and each tried to tell a better story than the other. Abe did not like being left out of the conversation. "Pa," he asked, "can you answer me a question about something in the Bible?" "I figure I can answer any question you got sense enough to ask." Johnny and Mathilda nudged each other. They knew what was coming.
It was interesting to see how when she bought things for Miss Wadsmith and later for her cherished Miss Mathilda and always entirely from her own taste and often as cheaply as she bought things for her friends or for herself, that on the one hand she chose the things having the right air for a member of the upper class, and for the others always the things having the awkward ugliness that we call Dutch.
I heard Mathilda Hickman tell her just now to be sure and wear it to her dinner next week, it was so becoming; and only yesterday she was shrieking over it at a luncheon where everybody was talking about it, Mr. Trehan is to be at the dinner, and Mathilda wants every woman to look her worst. Hello! There comes Channing and Hope and the cousin from the country.
