The Superintendent was here and he puffed me way up to the skies and the directors, all but Mr. Mertzheimer, promised to vote for me. I didn't ask them too, either." "I'm so glad," said Mrs. Reist. "Ach, now ain't that nice! I'm glad," said Millie, her face bright with joy. "So he puffed you up in front of them men? That was powerful nice for him to do, but just what you earned, I guess.
Mertzheimer. He knew a girl near Landisville who was a senior at Millersville and would be glad to teach a school like Crow Hill. He'd tell her to apply for the position. It would take about five minutes to put out that independent Amanda Reist and vote in the other girl it just takes some people to plan! He, Mr. Mertzheimer, had planned it!
While lovers of flowers choose from the many old-fashioned varieties straw flowers, zinnias, dahlias. The Reist stall was one of the prominent stalls of the market. Twice every week Millie "tended market" there.
"I can do that," said the boy, though he seemed none too eager to take the knife and plate Mrs. Reist offered him. "You dare sit beside me," Amanda offered. Lyman smiled his appreciation of the honor, but the girl's eyes twinkled as she added, "so I can watch that you make thin peelin's." "That's it," said Uncle Amos. "Boys, listen!
He went off laughing, flinging back the prediction, "But some day you'll do the reverse, Amanda Reist." He felt secure in the belief that he could win the love of any girl he chose if he exerted himself to do so.
She looked at Amanda and Philip and saw in them only two children prone to evil, requiring stern disciplining. "Now don't go far from the house," said Mrs. Reist later, "for your other dress is soon ready to fit. As soon as Aunt Rebecca gets the pleats basted in the skirt." "I'll soon get them in. But it's foolishness to go to all that bother when gathers would do just as good and go faster."
Then the announcement of the sum of five thousand dollars to be equally divided among the heirs of Jonas Miller, deceased, the sum of five thousand dollars to her brother Amos Rohrer, a like amount to her sister, Mrs. Reist, the sum of ten thousand dollars to Martin Landis, husband of Elizabeth Anders, and the remainder, if any, to be divided equally between said brother Amos and sister Mary.
But say, Manda, if she gives you any of them little red and white striped peppermint candies like she does still, sneak me a few." "Humph! You don't go to see her but you want her candy! I'd be ashamed, Philip Reist!" "Hush, hush," warned Mrs. Reist. "Next you two'll be fightin', and on a Sunday, too." The girl laughed. "Ach, Mom, guess we both got the tempers that goes with red hair.
"Mart's a hero!" while the mother smiled proudly. "Manda Reist," Martin spoke quickly as he edged to the door. "Amanda Reist, next time next time I'll darn it, I'll just let you burn up!" He ran from the room and disappeared round the corner of the house. "Why" Amanda's lips trembled "ain't he mean! I just wanted to be nice to him and he got mad." "Don't mind him," soothed the mother.
Fortunately, for his future peace of mind, the child did not notice the flush. A swallowtail butterfly had flitted among the zinnias and attracted the attention of Amanda so it was diverted from her uncle. But he still smiled as Millie opened the front door and she and Mrs. Reist stepped on the porch.
