We were glad that you had gone to Timothy's house, though John Burke said the girl you were with before was very nice. But twas right not to stay long enough to wear out your welcome. I do not see how I can get so much money. I have sent you all I had by me and we have been pinched a good deal too. I had a chance of a pass on a cattle train and Ma said why don't you go east yourself and see Nelly.
It was only known she had come to Norwood Street when Nelly was a baby, and that very shortly Judkins, a young omnibus conductor, had fallen in love with her; and they had married, and taken rooms, and lived very comfortably till Jim was three or four years old.
"A child of her age is such a nuisance," Eleanor thought. But he did like it, all of it! the fatigue, and the smoke, and the grubby food and Edith! he liked it so much that, just before the time set for their departure for Mercer and the position in a real-estate office, which had been secured for Maurice he said: "Nelly, let's camp out up in the cabin for our last week, all by ourselves!"
Little Yi looked intently, suddenly turned round, and ran back to the room where Nelly was, crying breathlessly: 'There's your father and another gentleman riding from Peking! Nelly jumped up, dashed through the door and into the grassy space, paused a moment to look, and set off as fast as she could go.
But, for the present putting on as good a grace as he could, "Aweel, aweel, Nelly," said he, "I'll be unco glad o' your company; for to say, the truth, I dinna like very weel to gang through the glen my lane.
A gentleman stepped from this carriage, and greatly to my surprise was warmly welcomed by the Captain and Miss Abigail, and by Miss Nelly herself, who seemed unnecessarily glad to see him. From the hasty conversation that followed I learned that the gentleman had come somewhat unexpectedly to conduct Miss Nelly to Boston. But how did he know that she was to leave that morning?
After he was gone, I missed Nelly, and went out to seek for her among the tents o' my neighbours, but she was nowhere to be found. At once I guessed he had taken her away, for well did he know I would sooner have lost my life than my own darlin' Nell." Again the girl paused a few moments; then she resumed, in a low voice "We never saw him or Nelly again.
I am not unmindful of the recent unsettling experiences which furnish excuse for confusion of ideas; but, Nelly, I appeal to a head that should be logical, even if I have never thought it giddy with adulation to see the facts as they exist. You must yield to your aunt's wish and return to her or to Marcia " "Impossible!" " you must bring me your bills; doubtless we can give up the furniture "
Fordive me one time more, and I never will adain;" and she never did. Two or three years after this, Poppy went to live in the country, and tried some new pranks. One day she went with her sister Nelly to see a man plough, for that sort of thing was new to her. While the man worked, she saw him take out a piece of something brown, and bite off a bit. "What's that?" asked Poppy.
They had just come from D Street, where Nelly had been shewn various letters and telegrams; but nothing which promised any real further clue to George Sarratt's fate. He had been seen advancing seen wounded by at least a dozen men of the regiment, and a couple of officers, all of whom had now been communicated with.
