"What presumption! the lower classes are beginning to look up, sure enough." "Shame!" cried some of the girls standing near; "you are cruel, Ada." But at that moment a slim hand touched Nellie's arm, and a merry voice said soothingly, "Never mind her, Nellie; we all know she is not responsible for her statements at times.
Charley said he'd stop for us, but I'm glad you did, too. The Bobbseys are going with us, Mother," Nellie called back to her mother who was looking out of a window. "It's a regular chestnutting party," said Flossie. "Only we haven't anything to eat," added Freddie, and all the others laughed. "That's so!" exclaimed Nellie's brother George, who was older than any of the others.
Then, shouldering his pack, and taking hold of Nellie's hand one having been refilled with chocolates by Grace the boy peddler moved off down the road limping, the girls calling out good-bys to him. "I hope it's all right to let that child go off with him," said Mollie. "Of course it is," declared Betty. "That boy had the nicest, cleanest face I've ever seen. And he must suffer from that cut."
Laura asked hesitatingly. "Oh, Laura! Would you want to?" Jess murmured. "Why not?" said the matron, smiling. "Not just now, perhaps. But the next time you come in the afternoon, of course.

I had only to turn quietly away and tell George, when I saw him in the morning, that I could not help him as I had hoped. And then I thought of his face as I saw it when I entered the bank and of Nellie's letter to me. I seized the knocker and rapped sharply.

Nellie's conclusions were perfectly logical, and it seemed folly to doubt them. She determined that Mary should certainly be scolded on the morrow and she unconsciously resolved in her mind the words she should use; for she was rather a timid woman and stood a little in awe of her stalwart Berkshire cook, with her mighty arms and her red face, and her uncommonly plain language.
Will you not say," he asked tenderly, "that there will be at least one pair of true lovers there?" I could not hear Nellie's answer: her head was so near his on his shoulder, in fact that she whispered it in his ear.
"Oh, Tom, I am glad you said what you did," cried Grace, heartily. "Now, maybe, Miss Harrow will be more careful in her actions." "Well, I simply said what I thought," answered Tom. "They are not going to lay anything at Nellie's door if I can help it." "Oh, Tom, but you told them that that And Nellie grew red and could not go on. "Well, what if I did? It's the truth, isn't it?"
