Something that I ought not to tell," she thought, with a little sense of satisfaction. "But which string of beads did Esther send you? I can't tell them apart," she heard Aunt Prissy say laughingly. When the time came for Mr. Carew to start for home Faith was sure that she wanted to go home with him.
For she realized that she could not tell any one of her determination to find some way to ask Ethan Allen to capture Ticonderoga and send the troublesome English soldiers back to their own homes. "It will be a good day to put a quilt in the frame," said Aunt Prissy, the morning after Faith's birthday.
It was a lonesome sound to a little girl so far from her mother and father, and Faith was already thinking to herself that this big house, with its shining yellow floors, its white window curtains, and its nearness to a well-traveled road, was a very dreary place compared to her cabin home, when her chamber door opened and in came her Aunt Prissy, smiling and happy as if a rainy day was just what she had been hoping for.
Two women sitting at a hair-dresser's were discussing the gossip according to Prissy through the shower of their tresses. The manicure working on the nails of one of them glanced up at the coiffeur and gasped with her eyes. The manicure whispered it to her next customer who told it to her husband in the presence of their baby.
It is dainty, Sorden!" "Now ef we was a going t'other way, Van Dorn," the driver said, "we could give them a lift. Boy, what are you out fur? Where's your passes?" "Yer they is. It's my wife an' me, gwyn to nurse a lady in Delaware." "Let me see!" He puffed his cigar upon the paper, and exclaimed, "Prissy Hudson? why, my skin! that's my wife's nurse.
Toomey, "what have you been doing with yourself?" "Priscilla Prissy " Mrs. Toomey caught her breath "I've been miserable and that's the truth!" "Why, my dear!" The egg-beater stopped. "Aren't you well? No wonder I'm as nervous as a witch myself." The egg-beater whirred again encouragingly. "You must use your will power you mustn't allow yourself to be affected by these external things."
I often wish your dear father had just such a dog," and she opened the door and called "Scotchie! Scotchie!" The big black Newfoundland dog came slowly into the room. "Put your hand on his head, Faith," said Aunt Prissy, "and I'll tell him who you are, and that he is to take care of you. He went to school with Donald all last spring, and we knew he would take care of him.
'T ain't fer every day, you needn't think. It's for company to-day, an' fer Sundays, an' to go to Portsmouth." "Don't spoil it for her, Miss Hoskins. Children hate to think it isn't for every day," said Leslie Goldthwaite. But the child-antidote to that was also ready. "I don't care," cried Prissy. "To-day's a great, long day, and Sunday's for ever and ever, and Portsmouth'll be always."
Faithie and I have a good deal to do," responded Mrs. Scott. The boys ran off with their father, chattering gaily, but at the door Donald turned and called back: "You'll come out to the shop, won't you, Cousin Faith?" "If Aunt Prissy says I may," answered Faith. "Yes; she will come," added Aunt Prissy, with her ready smile. It seemed to Faith that Aunt Prissy was always smiling.
"That sort of marriage never answers," said Mrs Winn, as Delia reached her mother's side. "Just see what unhappiness it caused. It was a bitter blow to Mr and Mrs Forrest; it made poor old Mr Goodwin miserable, and separated him from his only child; and as to Prissy herself well, the poor thing didn't live to find out her mistake, and left her little daughter to feel the consequences of it."
