And my lumbago has bothered me ever since, just like it was going to give me another spell. You can't be here all the time, Billy Louise leastways you ain't; and Peter " "Oh, good gracious, mommie! I told you to hire the man if you want him. Only Ward Warren isn't " Ward Warren pushed open the door and looked from one to the other, his eyes two question marks.
Did you ever have a little girl, Marthy?" "What makes you ask that?" Marthy sat heavily down upon a box beside the rough kitchen table and looked at Billy Louise queerly, as if she were half afraid of her. "I dunno but that's the way mommie sounds when she says something about angel-brother. Did you ever "
When Mommer takes you and Tess to the matinee to-morrow, ask her to bring you in to me first, and you and I'll step over to Paul's, and pick out a table or a couch, or something. Eh, Mommie?" "And what do you say?" said that lady to Alanna, as the radiant little girl went back to her chair.
If mommie had come back well, she would have asked Phoebe about everything in the house and out of it. There would have been a housewifely accounting going on at this minute. Phoebe would be apologetic over those grimy windows, instead of merely sympathetic over the sorrow in the house. Billy Louise wondered wherein she lacked.
"Why, mommie," said little Sue, reproachfully, "Santa Claus brought 'em. Haven't you always told us that Santa Claus liked to make us happy?" The long-exiled father felt that he could restrain himself but a few moments longer, and he was glad to see that the rest of his purchases were at the door.
"If she had, I guess she wouldn't have died. I'll bet she never gave her a speck of sage tea, like mommie always does when I'm sick only I ain't ever, thank goodness. I'm just going to ask Jase if Marthy did." On the way to the root cellar, which was dug into the creek-bank well above high-water mark, Billy Louise debated within herself the ethics of speaking to Jase upon a forbidden subject.
I've spent so much time sitting by mommie when she's asleep, and I get tired of reading all the time, so a nurse in this ward mommie has a room to herself of course, but not a special nurse, because I can do a lot of the little things well, the nurse taught me how to hemstitch. So I got some silk and made some nice, soft neckerchiefs one for you and one for me. "This one I made last.
Mary V gave a faint scream and put her hands over her ears. "There, there, baby I'll answer it," her mother's voice came soothingly, and Mary V shrank farther down in the hammock cushions. "Oh why land alive! Just a minute hold the line," she heard her mother say in a strange, flustered voice. Then she called, "Mary V I guess you better come and " "Oh, I can't, mommie!
There were nights and nights and nights when the cabin window winked like a star fallen into the coulee, from dusk to red dawn. Ward rode over once, stayed all night, and went home in a silent rage because he could not do a thing. There was a week of fluctuating hope, and a time when the doctor said mommie must go to a hospital Boise, since she had friends there.
I'd carry you off to-night if I could!" "Mommie Hat, ain't you glad?" "Effie Effie " "Mommie, what is it? What's the matter, darling? What?" "I it's just that I got cold, honey, sitting here waiting the surprise and all. Run, honey, and get me a drink. Crack some ice, dearie, and then run up-stairs in the third floor back and see if there's some brandy up there. Be sure to look for the brandy.
