Meredith turned to her daughter and asked, "Hast thou refused Colonel Brereton, Janice?" "No, mommy," faltered the girl. "Then why did he ride off without a word to either of us?" "I 't is I can only think that that he has come to care for Tibbie being in and out of love easily and so is ashamed of the part he has played."
Kaufman shot out her arm from the coverlet, jerking back the sheet and feeling for her daughter's dewy, upturned face where the tears were slashing down it. "Baby!" "Mommy, you you mustn't!" "Oh, my darling, like I didn't suspicion it!" "It's only " "You got, Ruby, the meanest mama in the world. But you think, darling, I got one minute's happiness like this?" "I'm all right, mommy, only "
"Janice, thee should turn actress." "Oh, Tibbie, lace my bodice quickly, or I shall burst of laughing," breathlessly begged the girl. "Janice," said her mother, entering, "how often must I tell thee that giggling is missish? Stop, this moment." "Yes, mommy," gasped Janice. Then she added, after a shriek and a wriggle, "Don't, Tabitha!" "What ails thee now, child?
"He I just can't begin to tell you, ma, the kind of a fellow Leo is till you know him better, mommy dear." "Always Vetsburg says he's a wide-awake one!" "That's just what he is, ma. He's just a prince if if there ever was one. One little prince of a fellow." She fell to crying softly, easy tears that flowed freely. "I I can tell you, baby, I'm happy as you." "Mommy dear, kiss me."
"If dear dadda is really angry, I'll let tears come into my eyes, and then he'll say he's sorry he hurt my feelings, and kiss me; but if he's only doing it to please mommy, I'll let my eyes shine, and then he'll laugh and tell me to kiss him. Oh, Tibbie, what a nice time we could have if women were only as easy to manage as men!"
"Janice," said her mother, once they were alone, "thy dread of that man is a just one, and I " "I know I know," broke in the daughter, miserably; "but I if I can make us all easy as to money and future " "Those are but worldly benefits, child." "But, mommy," said the girl, chokingly, as she knelt at her mother's feet and threw her arms about Mrs.
Mommy was talking real fast about what fun it was to play in the barn and was I sure I wasn't too cold because it was below zero outside and the radio said a snowstorm was coming, but she didn't say anything about Bobby and me being out in the barn.
That night I heard mommy and daddy talking down in the living room and I sat on the top step so I could hear them. Bobby sat there too, but I knew he didn't know what they were saying because Bobby isn't very smart and can't understand word-talk like I can. He can only understand think-talk, and he doesn't understand that very well. But now even I couldn't understand what mommy was saying.
By the time I returned home, packed up, and travelled this far on the way back with her, there was considerable tension in my feelings considerable tension," repeated father as he turned the horses and began driving carefully, measuring the distance from Hoods' and the bridge. At last he stopped, backed a step, and said: "There, mommy, did I hit the spot?"
"Of course I won't," asserted the girl. "I could n't, Sukey. You know I couldn't." "Dat 's right, honey. Ole Sukey knows she can trust youse. Now run right along, chile." "What have you been doing, Janice?" asked her mother, as the girl entered the parlour. "I've been in the kitchen with Sukey, mommy," replied Janice.
