I'll make it nights, and earn me an ostrich band for my hat," said Elise Mokey. One spoke for one thing; one another; they were claimed beforehand, in this fashion, by a kind of work-women's code; as publishers advertise foreign books in press, and keep the first right by courtesy. Miss Proddle stopped her machine at last, and caught the news in her slow fashion hind side before.
Elise Mokey stretched up her back slowly, and drew her shoulders painfully out of their steady cramp. "There! I went round without stopping! I put a sign on it, and I've got my wish! I'd rather sweep a room, though, than do it again." "You might sweep a room, instead," said Emma Hollen, in her low, faint tone, moved to speak by some echo in that inward rhythm of her thinking.
Bel Bree had not been brought up in a New England farm-house, and seen her capable stepmother "whew round," to be hard put to it, now, over half a dozen cups and tumblers more or less. "We must go," said Elise Mokey. "I've got the buttons to sew on to those last night-gowns of Miss Ledwith's. I want to carry them back to-morrow." "You're lucky to sew for her," said Bel.
It's like the grass of the field, and a good many other things; in the morning it is fresh and springeth up; in the evening it giveth up, and is down flat." "I guess you'll find it so," said Elise Mokey, splenetically. "Was that what you were laughing at?" asked Kate. "Seems to me you choose rather aggravating subjects."
But I say there's no danger of too many trying it yet awhile; and by the time they do, maybe we'll have changed things a little for them. I'm willing to be the thin edge of the wedge," said Bel Bree. "Right things have the power. God sees to that," said Desire. "The right cannot stop working. The life is in it." "The thing I think of," said Elise Mokey, decidedly, "is suller kitchens.
The order posted everywhere that one must not give the animals tobacco seems almost unnecessary nowadays, with the weed at present prices. The Urchin was greatly interested in the baboon rummaging in his straw. "Mokey kicking the grass away," he observed thoughtfully. Down in the grizzly-bear pit one of the bears squatted himself in the pool and sat there, grinning complacently at the crowd.
Miss Mokey had gone home with Bel and Aunt Blin, one evening lately, when there had been work to finish and they had made a "bee" of it. "See if you could help yourself if you hadn't Aunt Blin." "Why couldn't I help myself as well as she? She had a nice place all alone, before I came." "She must have half starved herself to keep it, then. Stands to reason.
Then she washed the porcelain and silver in fresh-drawn scalding water, wiped and set them safely on the long, white sideboard. There they gleamed in the gas-light, and lent their beauty to the brightness of the room, just as much as they would have done in actual using. "But what a lot of trouble!" said Elise Mokey. "Half a dozen dishes?" returned Kate.
Scherman asked questions that I don't believe she'd any particular need of answers to, herself; and she stopped me once when I was going out of the room for something. I knew by her look that she wanted me to hear." "If they want you to hear, why don't they ask you to sit down and hear comfortably?" said Elise Mokey, who had got her social science with a little warp in it from Boffin's Bower.
