Great Scott! How old is she?" "Twenty-two twenty-three something like that." "It doesn't sound much of a life for a young girl, Aunt Sanna. Imagine the Barbary-flower!" Doctor Studdiford shook his thermometer, looked at it, and screwed it into its case. "How IS Barbara?" Miss Toland asked dryly. "Fine!
"That' sic as never luik whaur the licht fa's, but aye some ither gait, for they carena to walk by the same. But them 'at orders their wy's by what licht they hae, there's no fear o' them. Even sud they stummle, they sanna fa'." "'Deed, laird, I'm thinkin' ye may be richt.
Or what are you pleased to laugh at? I desire you to go about your business, and send me up Handyside. I want him to bring me something to drink." "Ye sanna want a drink, maister," said the fellow. "Tak a hearty ane, and see if it will wauken ye up something, sae that ye dinna ca' for ghaists through your sleep.
Barbara had once lightly hinted this to Julia "Jim was glooming terribly, and did nothing but snarl" and Miss Toland had confirmed the hint when she asked him, at Christmas dinner, when he and Julia had been eight months man and wife: "Well, Jim, never a blue devil once, eh?" "Never a one. Aunt Sanna!" Jim had responded gayly. "What should he have blue devils about?"
She was always busy, and satisfied in her work, but there were needs of heart and mind that her own people could not meet, and when these rose strong within her she found no company as bracing and as welcome as Richard's. "No Aunt Sanna?" said she cheerfully, when she had taken off her hat and the small girl's, and was in her favourite chair by the fire.
"Sanna, we cannot make our way here," said the boy. "No," answered his sister. "Then we will turn back and try to get down somewhere else." "Yes, Conrad." The children now tried to climb down from the ice-wall where they had clambered up, but they did not succeed. There was ice all about them, as if they had mistaken the direction from which they had come.
"Do you see, Sanna," said the boy, "I had thought right away that we would have snow; do you remember, when we left home, how the sun was a bloody red like the lamp hanging at the Holy Sepulchre; and now nothing is to be seen of it any more, and only the gray mist is above the tree-tops. That always means snow."
Your mother confided to Aunt Sanna that it is her opinion that Bab refused Jim, and Jim married from pique." "That sounds like Mother!" Richie said with a dry laugh. "Doesn't it?" Julia smiled. "But the truth is," she added, "Jim has no preconcerted plan. He's made a very close man friend or two in Germany, belongs to a doctors' club. I know him so well!
'Lordsake, man! hae ye gotten her again? Gie's a grup o' her! he cried, dropping leather and hammer. 'Na, na, returned Robert, retreating towards the outer door. 'Ye maun sweir upo' her that, whan I want her, I sall hae her ohn demur, or I sanna lat ye lay roset upo' her.
"Oh, heavens, Aunt Sanna," Julia protested, with a rather sad little smile, "I was an awful little person with stringy hair, and colds in my nose, and no hankies! I never had baths, and never had regular meal hours, or regular diet, for that matter! Anna'll be very different from what I was." "Your mother was to blame, Ju," Miss Toland said, gravely shaking her head.
