"Hello," said the girl as she laid a few books on the kitchen table. "I wonder now how much money gets spent for books that ain't necessary." "Oh, lots of it," answered the girl cheerfully. "Umph, did you buy those?" "Yes, when I went to Millersville." "My goodness, what a lot o' money goes for such things these days! There's books about everything, somebody told me.
"It was very handsomely done," suggested Captain Gordon. "I think it was; but Captain Coonly will not be a great military commander," added the major. "But what has become of the prisoners captured in this affair?" "We marched them to Millersville, and turned them over to Colonel Halliburn," answered Deck.
"I might as well wait here as at Millersville; for Captain Gordon has gone over to Breedings to settle up a case of this kind, and he may not arrive for several hours yet. I will go into the house and talk with Mr. Halliburn," said Deck, as he suited the action to the word.
Pop he sayed when we're payin' as much as forty dollars a month we had ought, now, to have a Millersville Normal, and nothin' less. Who wants to pay forty dollars a month fur such a Harvard gradyate that we don't know right what it is." "What pay will Ezra get at Janeville?" Tillie asked.
If she must go away somewheres to school, like all the young ones think they must nowadays, why not leave her go to Millersville or to Elizabethtown or to Lancaster to learn dressmakin'? But to Philadelphy why, that's a big city! Anyhow, I can't see the use of all this flyin' around to school. We didn't get it when we was young, and we growed up, too.
The mansion faced the Millersville road, and in the rear of it was quite a village of out-buildings. The planter halted as soon as he was in the avenue, and waited till the others joined him.
This was the situation in the vicinity of Somerset and Mill Springs when the Riverlawn Cavalry was marching in the direction of the former place; and one company had reached Millersville, while the other was believed to be at Harrison. The raids in the vicinity by foragers and guerillas had been the immediate cause of sending the squadron to the locality.
The school directors had felt that they were conceding a good deal in consenting to consider the application of sueh an unknown quantity, when they could, at forty dollars a month, easily secure the services of a Millersville Normal.
But he's going to see a skinny old maid in Millersville now, and I guess she'll take him fast enough. She'll make him a better wife than his first did. W.O. never wanted to marry her. He just asked her to marry him 'cause his father wanted him to, never dreaming but that she'd say 'no. But mind you, she said 'yes. There was a predicament for you. Jog along, black mare.
And Tillie, as she walked home with her four brothers and sisters, hoped, for the sake of her own advancement, that a Harvard graduate was at least not LESS intelligent than a Millersville Normal. That a man holding a Harvard degree should consider so humble an educational post as that of New Canaan needs a word of explanation.
