It's just that it makes me feel that things do come your way finally, if you wait long enough, and that we aren't the only family in town that never has anything decent happen to it!... I'll miss you awfully, Mark, darling!... Mark, do you suppose Mother'd let me take this bed out, and just have a big couch in here? It would make the room seem so much bigger.
"I dun'no'. I'm worried about her myself dreadful worried. Lois is a nice girl as ever was." "She ain't give up her school?" Amanda shook her head. "I shouldn't think her mother'd have her." "I s'pose she feels as if she'd got to." Mrs. Babcock dropped her voice still lower. "They're real poor, ain't they?" "I guess they ain't got much." "I s'pose they hadn't. Well, I hope Lois ain't goin' down.
The ship was waiting orders, but the baby that then was, was born just in time, and there was a long spell of extra bad weather, so mother got about again before they had to sail, an' we all went. I remember my clothes were all left ashore in the east chamber in a basket where mother'd took them out o' my chist o' drawers an' left 'em ready to carry aboard.
She stifled them back as her father spoke comfortingly. "Well, well, there, don't cry! If your mother'd lived, we'd all 've been better." "I wish she had," gasped the girl, making a dash at her eyes. "I wish she'd stayed so I'd 've had her to love. Perhaps I'd 've had you, too, then." "There's no telling," answered Singleton, drawing up to his desk and beginning to write.
"I suppose he'll be crowing over me," thought Roswell, bitterly, judging from what would have been his own feeling had the case been reversed. "I hope he'll have to go back to boot-blacking some day. I wish mother'd buy me a gold watch and chain. There'd be some sense in my wearing it."
She stared hard at the spot near her, then up with wistful eyes into Suzanna's face. "I can't see it, Suzanna," she said at length. "Do you think mother'd better take me to the doctor and have my eyes examined like Mrs. Reynolds had hers?" Suzanna felt flowing over her a sudden wave of pity. "No, Maizie, dear," she said, putting her arms about Maizie and drawing her close.
"Not more than usual, Suzanna," said Mrs. Reynolds with a sigh. "Here's your vinegar. Hold it steady. Vinegar's a bad thing to spill." "Thank you," said Suzanna, politely, as she received the cup. And then: "I don't see why you should worry. You have no children. It's mother's many children that sometimes give her worry." "Your mother'd have worries even without you all," returned Mrs. Reynolds.
"Yes, and because you have no children to think about. If you had you'd understand. While Schenk's alive he may find me any day in New York, but I don't believe he'd ever think of looking for me here. My mother'd know how to send the children along, I guess, and they'd always have enough to eat and drink, and fresh air and a place to play in, and I'm sure Mr. Poussette would be kind to them.
You're going to ride along that road yonder, in my automobile, which ought to get here to-morrow, straight around to the other side of the mountain, and on and on then you're going to stay all winter with my own nieces and go to school with them " Jerry's breath came in an excited gasp. "Oh, it can't be true! Mother'd never let me." "It is true!
Rachael was coming back to the normal. "She needs things for camp, and I've got a little shopping to do." "Then could you lunch with Mother? Little Charley'll be there: no one else. Bring Billy. Mother'd love it. You're a great favorite there, you know." "I may not always be a favorite there," Rachael said with a rueful smile.
