She was in one of these jealous moods on the morning after John had told her he must close the mill. Then Mrs. Levy called, and asked if she would drive with her to Brent's Farm. "We have received a large number of young children from Metwold," she said, "and I want to secure milk for them." "Brent's Farm!" replied Jane. "I never heard of the place." "O my dear Mrs.
"The day the children came from Metwold." "Did you speak to her?" "No." "Why not? She has been kind to me." "You have given her milk for the children, I suppose." "All I could spare. I do not grudge a drop of it." Then Jane laid her arm across her mother's shoulders and looked lovingly at her. "I am so glad," she said.
"They have brought thirty-four little children from Metwold here, and they are in a state of starvation. I want thee to see about getting mattresses and blankets into the spinners' lecture room. I have looked after food for them." "Have you anything to spare for this purpose, mother?" "No, I hev not, John. The town hes plenty. They will do whatever thou tells them to do." "Very well, mother.
But she met him silently, slipped her hand into his and looked into his face with eyes tender with love and dim with sorrow. "Did you see those little children from Metwold, John?" "No, my dear. Mother told me about them." "Your mother is a good woman, John. I saw her today bathing babies that looked as if they had never been washed since they were born.
I will go at once." "I hev been in the village all day. I hev seen that every poor nursing woman hes hed some soup and tea and that these thirty-four little ones were well and properly fed. Now I am going home to save every drop of milk I can spare for them." "Is it fair for Metwold to send her starving children here?" "If thou could see them, John, thou would never ask that question.
