The little girl told him what had happened. "Sallie Malinda gone!" cried Mother Brown. "That's too bad! She must have been jostled off when the auto went over a bump. I think we'll have to go back and look for her," she said to her husband. Then Bunny gave some more news. "Dix is gone too!" he cried. "I've been watching a long while and I haven't seen him.
Suspicion began to close in around Sallie that she spent the evenings when Anna was away, in company with this bad boy.
She was one of eleven children, and at this date only one brother, Peter, and a sister, Phebe, were living. Mother had a beautiful sister, Sallie, who died young, and whom I loved to hear about. She painted her picture in words for me, and I could see her dark blue eyes, her brown hair that looked like satin, and her pink cheeks, almost as if I had really seen and known her.
"You are, of course, unprejudiced, lady mother," he laughed back from the lowest step. "It's natural I should be being only a mother," she explained, gayly. "Ah," she went on, "I am so happy to have you at home with me! Not happy at having asked those people down. They come on the twenty-seventh." "Whom have you asked?" "The Prescotts." "Good." "The Porters and Sallie Maddox." "Better."
"So, that's the way the wind blows, hey?" he remarked, slowly; and then he nodded his small head approvingly. "Jest as you say, Frank, thar's no time like the present t' do things. The hull pack hes been here, I see, an' no matter how cunning old Sallie allers shows herself, a chain's only as strong as th' weakest link. One of her cubs will sure leave tracks we kin foller.
He farmed. "It has been so long ago I tell you I don't recollect things straight. I don't know how they found out about freedom but they left I think. They got all they could take, their clothes and a little to eat. They started share cropping. They was out from Holly Springs when I come to knowledge. Mama was a nice hand at cooking and hand sewing. She said Miss Sallie learnt her.
March had consented to the visit rather reluctantly, fearing that Margaret would come back more discontented than she went. But she begged so hard, and Sallie had promised to take good care of her, and a little pleasure seemed so delightful after a winter of irksome work that the mother yielded, and the daughter went to take her first taste of fashionable life.
Mrs. Morton had a bad dream about Sallie, and the poor woman believes in dreams." "She does!" exclaimed Grace. "I suppose she looks at a dream book every morning to see what each dream means. How funny!" "Goodness!" cried Bess. "Come to think of it, I had the strangest dream last night. I dreamed that I saw myself in the looking-glass and my reflection stepped right out and began to talk to me.
Of course, as far as the old folks are concerned, I can more than take care of them, and if anything happens there's enough life insurance and to spare for them. I don't feel exactly responsible for Sallie's situation, but I do feel the responsibility of their helplessness. Sallie is not fitted to cope with the world and she ought to be well provided for. I feel that more and more every day.
They might have found the address of the children's Aunt Sallie and Uncle Simon. But Jackson seems to have vanished after his show failed." "Yes, that often happens," said Mr. Treadwell. "If we could only find our Uncle Bill he could tell us just what we want to know," said Mart. "But I don't know where he is."
