Prissy hurried home, put her matches away, took a regretful peep at her unopened book, then locked the door and started up the road to Uncle Richard's house half a mile away. She meant to go and cook Uncle Richard's dinner for him, get it all beautifully ready, then slip away before he came home. He would never suspect her of it.
Prissy soon had the table set, and she was just peppering the turnips when a gruff voice behind her said: "Well, well, what does this mean?" Prissy whirled around as if she had been shot, and there stood Uncle Richard in the woodshed door! Poor Prissy! She could not have looked or felt more guilty if Uncle Richard had caught her robbing his desk.
But you look rarely, Miss; it does me good to see you. What do you say now, Prissy?" here Bob turned to his wife, "Isn't it all come true as I said? Though there isn't many sorts o' goods as I can't over-praise when I set my tongue to't." Mrs.
Miss Prissy reiterated for the twentieth time, as Mary left the room. The Doctor, looking after her musingly, said to himself, "'The king's daughter is all glorious within; her clothing is of wrought gold; she shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework." "Now, did I ever?" said Miss Prissy, rushing out. "How that good man does turn everything!
I want to stop in to see Mis' Tutt too and give her a little advice about that taking so much blue-mass. I don't see how anybody with a bad liver can have any religion at all, much less a second blessing. I know the Squire have his faults, but others has failings too. And, too, I'll have to stop in and pacify Miss Prissy about turning the children loose, before I go down the Road."
Pantin stared at him absently, while the tears on her lashes dried to smudges. She murmured finally: "I could have pineapple with mayonnaise dressing." To conceal a smile, Mr. Pantin stooped for his paper. "Or would you have lettuce with roquefort cheese dressing, Abram?" "You know much more about such things than I do your luncheons are always perfect, Prissy.
I didn't think it would be hard to do; and it wasn't. I went over the very next day because I saw Emmeline driving off to the store. I found Prissy alone, sewing carpet rags. Emmeline kept her constantly at that because Prissy hated it I suppose. Prissy was crying when I went in, and in a few minutes I had the whole story.
If not, I shall take your fond love to all of them at home Tom, and Dick, and Harry, and Harriet, and Prissy, and all of them" Joe really was carrying the thing through splendidly "and perhaps, my dear, when you are a grand lady in England, you will give a thought a thought now and again to your old friends across the water."
Because Miss Prissy lives alone it is the duty of all of the Raccoons to patrol her ever so many times in the day, and Judge Luttrell lets Tony go out the last thing before he goes to bed and give Miss Prissy that signal we hear every night about half past nine. I'm not romantic myself, but I could never treat a man with the lack of heart with which Miss Prissy treats Colonel Stockell.
Petway are a-going to buy a piano for Aunt Prissy when they get married and sometimes you can sing by it if Doctor Tom can't save up enough to get you one. But I want Deacon to come home now, 'cause he are tired." And without more ado she departed with her docile charge, leaving the tired Martin Luther with his hands clasped in Mother Mayberry's.
