"Lor, missy," exclaimed he, "help me sabe ship and capting, and all; or dey all go way and leab us drown on board!"
I have inspectionated your conduct, Massa Black, and likewise your performances on the slack rope, says she, 'in time of shipwreck: and darn me, says she, 'but you are a man, you are. 'No, Missy, says I superciliously, 'dis child am not a man, if you please, but a coloured gemman." He added, he had put them in his ears because the biggest would not go on his little finger. Fullalove groaned.
Both on us tried all we could, but the little missy, her with the tarrier dawg, was nervous-like with it all, and wouldn't hear of getting in the train again; so the young lady, she said, seeing as they was so near London, they could get a fly or a cab or summat, and go on in that. 'And did she give you no message for me? said Mark.
It flowed on out and filled the yard, the town, the world; and upward, upward, upward she was one with the sky and moon and stars... At last, in a little lull, grandpa said: "Now, Missy, my song you know." Missy knew very well what grandpa's favourite was; it was one of the first pieces she had learned by heart. So she played for him "Silver Threads among the Gold."
You don't believe me?" he wound up, for she was eyeing him with an inscrutable smile. She lifted her shoulder a little. "For the sake of your argument we will say that it is so." "Then what's to be the end? I repeat. Look here, missy. We spar a bit when we meet, you and I; but I'd be sorry to see you go the way you're going. 'Pon my honour I would.
You can't lay them by to live on in your old age." "Alas!" Kate cried, "I have no money except these few shillings." "Give them over here, then." He put them in his trouser pocket beside the other one. "That's all right, missy," he said, in a beery whisper. "I won't say anything now to Muster Girdlestone about this job. He'd be wild if he knew, but mum's the word with William Stevens, hesquire.

I've always hoped that Missy would come home, and I would lead her up here and say, 'Missy, here is your room just as you left it, and here is your place in your mother's heart just as you left it, But she never came. I'm afraid she never will." Mrs. Falconer dropped her face in her hands and sobbed softly.
So he thought he'd bring her the white fox furs she seemed to have set her heart on. And Mrs. Merriam, who could understand a father's indulgent, sympathetic heart even though as Missy believed she wasn't capable of "understanding" a daughter's, didn't have it in her, then, to spoil his pleasure by expounding that wanting furs and wanting beaux were really one and the same evil.
Seeing David this way, day by day, I've come to know him through and through and he's true, straight down to the core." "Of course he is," she answered, tilting her chin with the old sauciness that this morning looked a little forlorn. "I wouldn't have liked him if he hadn't been." "Oh, Missy, you're such a wise little woman."
