Think she'll promise that? All right; then fetch her along." So, the very next morning, when Jed was busy at the bandsaw, he was not greatly surprised when the door opened and Miss Barbara appeared, with Petunia in her arms. He was surprised, however, and not a little embarrassed when Mrs. Armstrong followed. "Good morning," said the lady, pleasantly.
"That's too bad," she said. Jed had, for him, a curious impulse, and acted upon it. "Maybe I might come and look at it now, if I was asked," he suggested. "Plenty of room on that bench, is there?" "Oh, yes, sir, there's lots. I don't take much room and Petunia almost always sits on my lap. Please come."
"But you can make flour IN a windmill, 'cause I've seen it done." More pondering on the young lady's part. Then she gave it up. "You mustn't mind if you don't understand him, Uncle Charlie," she said, in her most confidential and grown-up manner. "He says lots of things Petunia and I don't understand at all, but he's awful nice, just the same.
Don't forget to come again." "Thank you, thank you. And when you're over to Orham drop in some day and see Babbie and me. Anybody the constable or anybody will tell you where I live." Their visitor laughed, thanked him, and hurried away. Said Barbara between spoonfuls: "He's a real nice officer one, isn't he, Uncle Jed? Petunia and I like him."
And what a great bow of ribbon she has tied on her head. It's big enough for a sash, Dot." "Looks like a house afire," commented Neale again. By this time Alfredia's smiling face was recognizable under the flaming red bow, and Ruth explained: "She is one of Uncle Rufus' grand-daughters. Her mother, Petunia Blossom, washes for us, and Alfredia is dragging home the wash in that little wagon."
That's on the credit side of my balance. But that is all and it doesn't sound revolutionary, does it, Jane? Petunia married Jasper according to his word of promise, and I have taught her to cook about five French dishes that he couldn't concoct to save his life, and which help her to keep him in his place.
Jasper and Petunia hovering in the background, the tea-tray out on the porch set with the silver and damask all of them knew of old, and the appearance of having been installed with the full approval of Cousin Martha and James and the rest of the family, stopped the questions on their lips, and they spent the afternoon much enlivened but slightly puzzled.
There are some cosy little tables arranged for playing cards, with nice screens near, so that the other people's counting, &c., may not put one out. Mrs. Pike was too splendid for words, in petunia satin, and sable, and quantities of pearl chains; and Tom was trying to talk to her. Nobody worries about Mr. Pike much; but Lord Doraine took him off to the billiard-room, after collecting Mr.
I know nothing is so likely to bring me up as the air of the seaside. . . . I have set many flowers around Henry's grave, which are blossoming; pansies, white immortelle, white petunia, and verbenas. Papa walks there every day, often twice or three times.
She was writing a letter to Uncle Charlie, I think it was and I and Petunia asked her if she liked it here and she sort of looked at me without looking, same as you do sometimes, Mr. Winslow, when you're thinking of something else, and then she said that about the catty no, the purr-gatory.
