She is awful busy, having three children and not much money; but Miss Katherine says busy people make time, and those who have most to do, do more still. She sent me the darlingest little bedroom slippers with fur all around the top. And in them she put a little note that made me cry and cry and cry, it was so dear and mothery. I don't know what made me cry, but I couldn't help it. I couldn't.
And why was that curious living thing within so satisfied, so happy, so sure of itself? It was between six and seven o'clock when Agnes, neatly and tidily dressed, came downstairs, accompanied by Irene, who led her straight into the drawing room. "This is Agnes Frost, mothery," said Irene; "and you are on no account to tire her. She is better now. Are you not, Agnes?"
Adams' aunt, and the old lady heartily welcomed the crowd of laughing children that invaded her quiet abode. After school, Marjorie and King and Kitty ran home to eat a hearty luncheon, and get ready for the great event. It was a perfect winter day; crisp, clear air, bright sunshine, fine sleighing, and no wind. "Mothery," called Marjorie, as she entered the house, "where are you?"
"Goo'-bye, Queenie Sandy," called Tom, as they separated at the turn of the path. "Good-bye, Tom, you old Grand Sandjandrum!" and then the Maynards ran into their own house. "Gently, my lad and lassie; gently!" warned Mrs. Maynard, as her two young hopefuls flung themselves upon her. "Oh, Mothery," cried Marjorie, "we had such a good time! And our court journal was lovely! Want to see it?
But when we get away from you, and off with the boys and girls, these things seem different. Were you always noble when you were little, Mother?" "No, Kingdon dear, I wasn't always. But my mother tried her best to teach me to be, so don't you think I ought to try to teach you?" "Sure, Mothery! And you bet we'll do our bestest to try to learn. Hey, Mops?" "Yes, indeedy!
He did not say that it was important, too, to give Madame Forsyth ample opportunity to get away from Gray Manor. Robin drew a long breath and relaxed. It had taken so very much courage to run away that she had little left with which to face her new life. Tomorrow it might be easier. Miss Effie Allendyce took her under her wing in a fluttery, mothery sort of a way with a great many "my dear's."
Or if there is such a juice as Borri pretends is it not enough to make the clearest liquid in the world both seculent and mothery?
She is my doll, my baby, my plaything the creature that keeps me human. With Rosamund on one side and Agnes on the other, I can be good, mothery. But if you were to take either or both of them away, I should be worse than ever. Miss Frost must give Agnes up to me." "I don't think she will be able to stand that. I don't see how you can expect it."
"I don't at all know whether I shall be able to endure it. You think me greatly improved, but I don't know that I am improved. Be that as it may, however, I want to ask you a great favor, mothery." "What is that, my darling?" asked Lady Jane. "You, of course, mean to go away. Rosamund said that you would.
Maynard came into the room, just before dinner time. "Well, King, what have you been doing now?" Mrs. Maynard's face expressed a humorous sort of resignation, for she was accustomed to these confessions. "Well, you see, Mothery, we had the Jinks Club here to-day."
