Not knowing how to assert myself and declare that I had spoken my honest thoughts, I merely sat down on the bench and waited for him to speak again to me. But he made believe to be very busy, and scarcely to know that I was there.
If you keep on sweeping as fast as it falls, you must overcome it. Don't you see, Uncle Sam?" "To be sure I do, Miss Rema, as plain as any pikestaff. Suan, fetch a double bundle of new brooms from top loft, and don't forget while you be up there to give special orders no snow is to fall at night or when missy is at dinner." "You may laugh as much as you please, Uncle Sam, but I intend to try it.
That execrable man complied, for he began to be doubtful of the driving snow, now huddling against the window-frames. And so he went out; and when he was gone, I came forth into the fire-light, and threw my arms round the Sawyer's neck and kissed him till he was ashamed of me. "Miss Rema, my dear, my poor little soul, what makes you carry on so?"
The Sawyer was getting a little tired, perhaps, of this long interruption. "I see enormous logs, and a quantity of saws, and tools I don't even know the names of. Also I see a bright, swift river." "But over here, missy, between them two oaks. What do you please to see there, Miss Rema?" "What I see there, of course, is a great saw-mill."

"Five hundred and a half I used to lift to the height of my knee-cap easily; I may 'a fallen off now a hundred-weight with years, and strings in my back, and rheumatics; but this here little toad is a clear hundredweight out and beyond my heftage. If there's a pound here, there's not an ounce under six hundred-weight, I'll lay a thousand dollars. Miss Rema, give a name to him.
"The old man would never waste a bit of victuals, as you know, Miss 'Rema; and, being acquaint with Suan's way of watching, he had slipped all his supper aside from his plate, and put it on a clean pocket-handkerchief to lock it in the press till his appetite should serve; and I caught him in the act, and it vexed him.
