And when I showed her that screen Gusta worked lilies on blue satting, a re'lly elegant thing she just turned her head and says, `I'd rather, if she were a gal of mine, see her knit her own stockings. Those were her words, Mrs Wishing." "Ah, well, it's easy to talk," replied Mrs Wishing soothingly, "we'll be able to see how she'll bring up a daughter of her own now."
"I'm going to carry over some of the pictures and furniture from the old house; I didn't care half so much for them when I was younger as I do now. Perhaps next summer we shall all come over for a while. I should like to see my girls and boys playing under the pines." "I wish you re'lly was livin' to the old place," said Betsey Lane.
"Go on, Maw, and tell us," said Marty. "What did he say?" and he grinned delightedly at his cousin's rosy face. "Sing her praises, Mrs. Day do," urged Nelson. "We know she deserves to have them sung." "Wal! I should say she did," agreed Aunt 'Mira, proudly. "It's her, the parson says, that's re'lly at the back of this temp'rance movement that's goin' ter be inaugurated right here in Polktown.
The boys were armed with light rifles or shotguns, and even some of the girls were armed, as well as Mrs. Edwards herself. But Sue Latrop had never fired a gun in her life, and she professed to be not much interested in this hunt. "Oh, I've fox-hunted several times. That is real sport! But we don't shoot foxes.

I chanced to press close to him, as we came out upon the prairie, and he muttered a quick word into my ear. "See how they herd us in the shade of the Agency! They are not yet ready to let the sojers know whut they're re'lly up to.
Things is purty tick'lish you know that, widder. The King ain't treatin' us right, an' his ministers and advisers don't care anything about these colonies, 'ceptin' if we don't make 'em rich. Then they trouble us. And the governors are mostly all alike. I don't think a bit better of Benning Wentworth than I do of these 'ere New York governors. They don't re'lly care nothin' for us poor folk."

Oh, you Shawnees an' Miamis, an' Wyandots, why are you waitin' down thar when jest a few uv us are up here, ready to give you welcome? I don't think you're re'lly warriors. You're jest old squaws painted up to look like 'em, an' the real fightin' men uv your tribe are at home, asleep in the lodges, afraid to face the bullets uv the white men, while they send thar old women here to make a noise!"
