Just s'posing everyone knew what everyone else was thinking, wouldn't some folks be scrapping all the time? Brains are queer things. I used to wish I could see one when it was doing its thinking, but I guess God knew his business when he put them inside our heads, where no one else can watch them." "Peace, Peace!
"And I am truly grateful for my receipt, too! It isn't every man that would give me one. Old Skinner now " "Oh, Peace!" "But, Gail, dear, I wasn't mocking him. I wanted him to know that I knew how much that receipt was worth. S'posing he hadn't written it, how would you have known that I had settled that fuss?" Gail gave up in despair.
If I creep through that tunnel, I'd shove the torch in first and keep it moving ahead of me all the way, so that nothing could grab me, you see!" said Polly, half laughingly. "I say, Polly, let well enough alone. Let's go back and get supper and rest for to-morrow!" advised Barbara. "But just s'posing a rattle-snake was coiled up inside that tunnel!
Don't we always say grace when we sit down at the table? But Thanksgiving Day is a special time for giving thanks. It is in the fall after the crops are all in, and the barns are full of hay and grain, and the cellars filled with vegetables; and we thank Him for the good harvests." "S'posing the harvests ain't good? We didn't get much off from our farm this year.
You must be our girl for a month or two longer. Will that be hard work?" "N-o, but s'posing she should die! I ought to be there to have it, too." "No, indeed! That would make it only harder for Grandma Campbell. You must stay here and keep well so they won't be worrying about you, too. Allee isn't going to die, but in a few weeks will be as well as ever."
Someone may come along and claim it one of these days." "I don't see how anyone could have lost that money in the barn, Gail. It was pinned down to the grain sacks with a real pin. Folks don't carry bills around in their pockets with pins in them; and s'posing they did, if the bills dropped out of their pockets, they wouldn't up and pin themselves onto gateposts and grain sacks.
"It would take lots more if we were picking wild strawberries. They ain't bigger'n peas, but these are whoppers." "And covered thick with spiders ugh! I feel them crawling all over me now. I believe I killed a million just this afternoon." Peace laughed. They didn't bother her. "Just s'posing those strawberries were bugs really, and when the hotel people ate them the bugs would bite.
"I'm glad of it. She won't bother any more about me now." "May be not. But what d'ye want?" "I'd like to know if you can let me have a lodging. It'll suit me to live at Hampstead for a while." "But s'posing as it don't suit me to have you?" "Then I must go somewhere else. I think Hannah would be glad if I was with you." "Aye, but you've been away from her goodness knows how long.
"To pick me a pair of shoes in Mr. Hardman's strawberry patch," answered Peace, quickening her pace. "Oh, don't hurry so fast. I'll go, too. But s'posing he won't let us pick berries for him?" "I ain't s'posing any such thing. We've picked strawberries before. Why, Allee knows how. Anyone with sense can do a thing like that!" "Is are you going to take Allee along if he should give us the job?"
"Why, I've enough things of my own to look at and think about to last me a week," Cherry breathed ecstatically. "Yes, and s'posing you did get tired of that," spoke up Peace, "there's all the rest of the girls' bundles to 'xamine. They've each got a hundred 'most near, I sh'd think."
