Thus he was muttering to himself, as lonely people so often do, when he felt that someone was near. Turning suddenly, he saw Jane half-hidden by the kitchen door. Finding herself observed, the girl came forward and said in her brief monotonous way: "Mother'll be down soon. If you'll show me how you want the coffee and things, I guess I can learn." "I guess you'll have to, Jane.
"What can we do?" asked Keineth, sensing a tragedy. "I don't care anything about the shoes," answered Billy, "'cause I'd just as soon wear these old ones as not what d' I care about shoes? But mother'll say that we can't keep the dog!" "He's only on trial " Peggy broke in sadly. "If you girls could keep it a secret we'd give Pilot another chance " "Alice is sure to tell! She can't keep anything!"
"If he does, Mother'll have to," said Kitty, with a knowledge born of experience. "Let's ask 'em." "It's almost bed-time now," said King, glancing at the clock; "but I'm not a bit sleepy." The others declared they were not, either, and they all went in search of their parents. They found them in the library, with Uncle Steve and Grandma, who were still visiting them.
"And oh!" she threw out her arms; "O, I'm so tired, I'm so tired!" Her mother raised her, laying her head upon her shoulder. "Mother'll rest you, Maggie," soothing her, as if she sang again her first lullaby, when she came to her, the little pure baby, her only one. "Mother," once more, "the door was unlocked." "It has been unlocked every night for seven years, my child."
"No, this time we'll leave mother home with Billy and Alice. Then the next time they'll go." Peggy's eyes swept over Billy's and Alice's disappointed faces. "Oh, I wish we could all go!" "Mother'll make it up to them, my dear. I'll wager right now all sorts of nice plans are floating around in her head. Well, can you be ready?" "Can we !" they cried in chorus.
And if you run after her she hides in such queer places you can never find her." "But mother wants you and her to come to tea with us this afternoon," said Milly; "won't Tiza come?" "I suppose mother'll make her," said Becky, "but she doesn't like it. Have you been on the fell?" Milly looked puzzled. "Do you mean on the mountain? No, not yet. We're going to-morrow when we go to Aunt Emma's.
"I don't think," he said, presently, "Mother'll ever be happy again. I sha'n't, either." She put her hand on his hand that lay palm downward between them on the seat and that was stretched toward her, not as if it sought her consciously, but in utter helplessness. There was no response in it beyond a nervous quivering that struck through her fingers to her heart. He went on.
He grinned and pulled open his sailor's jumper and singlet; and there, on his naked breast, Taffy saw a ship tattooed, with three masts, and a half-circle of stars above it, and below it the initials W. P. "D'ee think my mother'll know me again?" asked the boy, and the other two began to laugh. "Yes, I think so," said Taffy gravely; which made them laugh more than ever.
I had a kind of an engagement I thought I was going to keep, but I've about decided I won't." Etta watched with awe and delight the mysterious look in Susan's suddenly flushed face and abstracted eyes. After a time she ventured to interrupt with: "You'll try living with us?" "If you're quite sure did you talk to your mother?" "Mother'll be crazy about you.
"Is that all you were goin' to do? Why, your mother'll come and make him get out the first " "No, she won't. She and Margaret have gone to my aunt's in the country, and aren't goin' to be back till dark. And even if he made a lot o' noise, it's kind of hard to hear anything from in there, anyway, when the door's shut. Besides, he's got to keep quiet that's the rule, Verman.
