"You're just a mean, mean, red-headed snip!" cried Hughie, in a rage, "and I don't like you one bit." But Maimie was proud of her golden hair, so Hughie's shot fell harmless. "And when will you be going to the sugaring-off, Mistress Murray?" went on Maimie, mimicking Ranald so cleverly that in spite of herself Mrs. Murray smiled. It was his mother's smile that perfected Hughie's fury.

"You shan't have one bit of my jam," she says, threatening Dicky with a huge silver spoon; "see if you do!
One of 'm is always sayin' 'just so." "That is Miss Sophia Grant." "Just so," said Andy, mimicking her. "You mustn't do that, Andy. Then it's them you're workin' for?" "Yes, and they're mighty kind. I'm goin' back to sleep there to-night. They want a man to purtect them." Mary laughed. "Do you call yourself a man, Andy? What could you do if a burglar tried to get in?"
