"I guess I'd a-screeched right out if I hadn't remembered the baby. Elly Precious is terrible hard to put to sleep second time. You aren't much acquainted with babies, are you?" Again so soon! Miss Theodosia's humility returned. "We're acquainted, over to our house! Mother says babies are great edge edge " "Educators?" "That's it! Mercy gracious, then I should think Mother'd be graduated!"
I can stay a whole week on it, and then it'll take me back again. Jest think, now, that little boy of mine has got to be a officer a city marshal of a whole town! That's somethin' like a constable, ain't it? I never knowed he was a officer; he didn't say nothin' about it in his letters. I reckon he thought his old mother'd be skeered about the danger he was in. But, laws!
"Why, yes," said Jerry, leaning his axe against the trunk of the wounded tree. "Course! you want I should go over 'n' help lift her." Stella shook her head in definite finality. "No, I don't either. Aunt Hill 'n' I can manage well enough. I guess mother'd be provoked 'most to death if I run round callin' the menfolks in." "Well, what is it then?" asked Jerry, in palpable disappointment.
I don't know what they expected to see, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't what they did see. It was evening, but instead of putting on an awfully stunning fur-bordered coat over the things she'd worn to dinner, as she usually does when she goes out in the car at night, Mother'd taken the trouble to go back to the tailored suit and little close hat she wears in the street and for driving.
"No; I clim up on the meal-bucket, an' got it in the night." "You might have fell, an' then I dunno what mother'd ha' said to you," said Caleb. "An' I did somethin' else." "What else did you do?" "I went out a-coastin' after you an' her was asleep." "You didn't, now?" "Yes, I did." "An' we didn't neither on us wake up?" "You was a-snorin' the whole time."
Talk to her all you want to. Mother has the making of a woman in her. If mother'd been a celibate, she'd have been, also, a peach." "But I don't want to talk," said I. "I don't want to talk to anybody." "Good for you," said Charles Edward. "Now I'll run along."
However, everybody was very much interested, and everybody was willing to give and to help, but nobody wanted to take her, and the upshot of it was that Dan refused all their offers and took her himself. His mother'd been in to our house all the afternoon before, and she'd kept taking her pipe out of her mouth, she had the asthma, and smoked, and kept sighing.
For the other house, the house we most haunted after our own, was that of our cousin Albert, still another of the blest orphans, though this time of our mother's kindred; and if it was my habit, as I have hinted, to attribute to orphans as orphans a circumstantial charm, a setting necessarily more delightful than our father'd and mother'd one, so there spread about this appointed comrade, the perfection of the type, inasmuch as he alone was neither brother'd nor sister'd, an air of possibilities that were none the less vivid for being quite indefinite.
I undertook to bring you out, but I won't take you back if I know it, until you ken sit behind a horse without going off into hysterics every time he tosses his mane. Your mother'd be a heap more scared to see you coming back looking like a death's head, than to hear that you were comfortably located with a friend till you pulled round.
"I don't know what your mother'd thought if she lived to see the day when you took up with a tough like Bill Roberts. Bill! Why, your mother was too refined to associate with a man that was called Bill. And all I can say is you can say good-bye to silk stockings and your three pair of shoes.
