Flannagan declared, the Charities' aid must be withdrawn. The next morning, Peggy entered the office, her usually smiling face very sober. Before Miss Margery had time to mention excursions and grocery orders, Peggy made a request. "If you please'm, lady," she said, "mommer says won't you give us a help with the rent? It's due to-day and we're three dollars short."
Next Sunday I will ask you each to produce the three buttons and tell me what they represent." The following Sunday the teacher said to the youngest member: "Now, Johnnie, produce your three buttons and tell me what they stand for." "I ain't got 'em all," he sobbed, holding out two of the buttons. "Here's Life an' here's Liberty, but mommer sewed the Pursuit of Happiness on my pants."
I guess he thought she'd jump at him or something, for he had always been a mother's boy and minded everything she said, though he was twenty-eight years old and rising-nine but all she did was to draw in her breath sharp and sudden, so you could hear the whistle of it, and then two big tears rolled out under her specs. "Don't feel bad about it, Mommer," said Benny in a snuffly voice.
Instantly Mr. Sieppe boxed his ears. There was a lamentable scene. August rent the air with his outcries; his father shook him till his boots danced on the jetty, shouting into his face: "Ach, idiot! Ach, imbecile! Ach, miserable! I tol' you he eggsplode. Stop your cry. Stop! It is an order. Do you wish I drow you in der water, eh? Speak. Silence, bube! Mommer, where ist mein stick?
"They say some folks put things on the table one by one, but we likes to have them where we can see them all one time," remarked Mrs. Callahan who was feeding the baby with turkey and pickle. "We'se eated two dinners a'ready," said Lois. "Mommer told all the ladies that asked us as how we wanted a Christmas dinner and we got three," explained Peggy. "And et 'em, too," Mrs. Callahan declared.
"I was only handin' him some of the same sport he's been dealin' out to others. It'll do him good." "You you young scoundrel!" says mommer. Then, turnin' to the old lady who came in with her, she gasps out, "Zenobia, telephone for the police!" It's the real thing, too, and no flossy bluff about the lady's grouch.
Over the mantel, in front of Barbara as she stood, her back to us all, hung an oil painting one of those family groups same old popper; same old mommer, and a fat baby in a white dress and blue sash. At that, it was good enough to show that the man had some resemblance to Vandeman as he leaned there on the mantel below it, rather encouraging Skeet's enterprise.
Care of the rooms was strictly included in the boarder's twenty dollars a month, but Kern was not thinking of it that way exactly. "Mommer, what makes him have that kinder sorry look all the time, I wonder?" she said, when Mrs. Garland followed her in. "Sorry, what you talkin' about? A pleasanter spoke gempman I never see. Hand me them pants." "I'll fold'em, mommer.
His mother was sitting in a rocker, reading the evening paper with gold spectacles, and I never saw such a straight-backed old lady in my life, nor any so tall and thin and commanding. She looked up at us, kind of startled to see two soldiers walking into her kitchen, and Benny smiled a silly smile and said: "Mommer, I'm off to help Dooey in the Fillypines!"
McTeague was miserable. He stood apart from the group, in a corner. None of them seemed to think of him; he was not of them. "Write to me very often, mamma, and tell me about everything about August and the twins." "It is dime," cried Mr. Sieppe, nervously. "Goot-py, Trina. Mommer, Owgooste, say goot-py, den we must go. Goot-py, Trina." He kissed her. Owgooste and the twins were lifted up.
