"She 's one of the sweetest girls I know." "Which is n't saying much, considering the girls you know. But go on. Who are the others?" "Pearl Sayther, and her sister Alice, and Jessie Hilborn, and Sadie French, and Edna Crothers. That 's all the girls." Joe sniffed disdainfully. "Who are the fellows, then?" "Maurice and Felix Clement, Dick Schofield, Burt Layton, and " "That 's enough.
She had been very kind and attentive; but the fever was gone now, and Sadie was well enough to rove around the house again; and Ester began to think that it couldn't be so very hard to have loving hands ministering to one's simplest want, to be cared for, and watched over, and petted every hour in the day. She was returning to her impatient, irritable life.
"Dad and Mother have got anchored at last. The journey must have been a startler. Paris is so full of Americans, it's like a little New York." "Why do you call it 'Parr-is'?" sniggered Sadie. "It's more like the French than your way of saying it, at any rate," retorted Diana smartly. "This letter's been four days in coming through." "You might give me the stamp." "Certainly not.
So Sadie watched the needle assiduously, and ignored the fact that her head ached pretty regularly, and she was generally too weary when lunch time came to enjoy the black bread and pickles which, with a cup of strong tea, made her noon meal. After lunch she again sat down to her machine and watched the needles gallop over the cloth.
Then they discussed optics, as they called it, and whether a certain injury to the brain would produce blindness or not, but they could not agree about it, and said they must test it by experiment by-and-by; and next they discussed plants, and that interested me, because in the summer Sadie and I had planted seeds I helped her dig the holes, you know, and after days and days a little shrub or a flower came up there, and it was a wonder how that could happen; but it did, and I wished I could talk, I would have told those people about it and shown them how much I knew, and been all alive with the subject; but I didn't care for the optics; it was dull, and when they came back to it again it bored me, and I went to sleep.
They had doubts, but hesitated to admit that they had been rash, and shrank from using means that might cost them a customer. Sadie gave one information she had gathered from another, and added hints of what she herself knew.
She was admiring the wonderful lashes lying damp and dark on Eva's smooth cheek when the beautiful eyes unclosed, gazed straight across the desk at Sadie, and Eva took a flying leap into Teacher's lap to cling with arms and knees and fingers to her chosen refuge. "Oh, Teacher, Teacher," she wailed, "Sadie makes on me such a snoot I got a scare over it."
As he moved toward the "L" station at the corner, Sadie and his mother waved to him; in the street, boys too small to be Scouts hailed him enviously; even the policeman glancing over the newspapers on the news-stand nodded approval. "You a Scout, Jimmie?" he asked. "No," retorted Jimmie, for was not he also in uniform? "I'm Santa Claus out filling Christmas stockings."
That Sadie did all this, however, was not realized by anybody, least of all by Jamie, the one who most of all was concerned. When the call was over and the Pendletons had gone, Mrs. Carew referred again to the curiously haunting feeling that somewhere she had seen young Pendleton before. "I have, I know I have somewhere," she declared musingly.
"But can you? It is Bob's cheque." "I'm going to try. The bank deals with me," Sadie answered. "But come along; I hear the hired man bringing the rig." When they got into the vehicle, Helen remarked that Sadie had brought a flexible riding whip. Since the quirt was useless for driving, Helen wondered what she meant to do with it.
