"This sort of fuss isn't like you, Rich," she said presently, with an uncomfortable laugh. "You you don't usually talk about such things!" "No, I know I don't," Richard admitted, untouched by her reproach. "I could go up to Porter's and try to get Aunt Sanna by telephone!" he muttered. Julia was displeased, and made no answer, and presently he got up and went out.
Poor Aunt Sanna and Mother had a great old cry together!" "Ah!" said Julia hungrily. For Miss Toland had come stepping carefully in, the precious pink blanket in her arms. "I'm to bring her to say 'Good-night' to her mother!" said Miss Toland. "How are you, dear? All forgotten now?"
Man mind yoursel is the first commandment. A Cameronian's principles never came atween him an' his purse, nor sanna in the present case; for, as I canna bide to make you out a leear, I'll thank you for my wages."
Last night, old Sanna carried so many buckets of water into the house that I asked her why she was doing that, and she said that if I would promise not to tell anyone, and she said that early tomorrow morning when father was out hunting, she would set the kettle full of water, throw you into it and boil you; but we will get up quickly, dress ourselves, and go away together.
Has it been a hard day? Aunt Sanna ?" "No, your aunt's an angel to me no, it's been an easy day," Julia said, dropping into a chair, and pushing her hair back from her face with a feverish gesture. A second later she sprang up and disappeared into the assembly hall. "I thought I mightn't have locked the door," she said, returning. "Why, sweetheart," Jim said, in great distress, "what is it?
Oh, I do thank God for her!" she ended softly. "I thank God you're so well," said Miss Toland. "Here, you can't keep her!" "Anna, go with Aunt Sanna," Julia said weakly. "Anna, eh?" Miss Toland said, wrapping up the pink blanket. "Anna Toland Studdiford," Jim answered. "Julia had that all fixed up weeks ago!" "Well now you children!"
They moved in what seemed a great brightness and yet could not see three feet ahead, everything being, as it were, enveloped in a white darkness, and as there were no shadows no opinion about the size of objects was possible. The children did not know whether they were to descend or ascend until some steep slope compelled their feet to climb. "My eyes smart," said Sanna.
Not that he could blame her for it! Naturally, Aunt Sanna would never have overlooked that, and presumably no other woman would have engaged her, knowing it, even to wash dishes and sweep steps. "Lord, what a world for women!" thought Jim, in simple wonder. Hunted down mercilessly, pushed at the first sign of weakening, they know not where, and then lost!
The burning fact was that Elinor Sparrow had asked the others down for tennis Saturday and to stay overnight, and had asked her, Barbara, to join them on Sunday for luncheon "Tell Aunt Sanna about the wedding, dear!" commanded Mrs. Toland suddenly. Barbara smiled with mechanical brightness. "Oh, it was lovely! Every one was there.
"We shall now have to pass over this, and then we shall run down away from the ice," said Conrad. "Yes," said Sanna and clung to him. From the ice they took a direction downward over the snow which was to lead them into the valley. But they were not to get far.
