Anne rather liked the suggestion of having Eleanor go East with her, and Polly sat mute, wishing some one would persuade her mother that it was the only thing to do for her, too. Sary came in at this point to say that supper had been waiting so long, that it was all sizzled up in the pan. "My goodness!
"Poor Sarah!" said Nurse Lucy, wiping tears of merriment from her eyes. "What did she say?" "I can't tell ye what she said," replied the farmer. "What did your old cat say when Spot caught hold of her tail the other day? An' yet there was language enough in what Sary said. I tell ye the hull dictionary was flyin' round that room for about ten minutes, Webster's Unabridged, an' nothin' less.
She unceremoniously ducked and ran. But the insect buzzed after her with evil intent, so Sary ran for her sanctuary, slamming the screen door safely between herself and her pursuer. The audience watching beside the table laughed merrily at the rout. At the sudden entrance of the maid into the kitchen, Mrs. Brewster asked, without looking up: "Did you place the butter and milk on the table, Sary?"
Sary said, giggling like a veritable school-girl. Polly watched her depart with the coveted dress over her arm, then she turned to Eleanor. "All the help are going crazy, it seems to me!" About half an hour later, Sary was seen stealing from the kitchen door, and tip-toeing over the brick pathway towards the "Second-best" hammock that always swung behind the lilac bushes.
Brewster, an' now Ah knows it!" Suspicious moisture filled Sary's eyes as she spoke. "Ah've won a way by being honest in all my dealings, for it pays in the end. But tell me can you come along?" "Ef you-all kin wait, Ah'll tie up my bundle in a minit!" agreed Sary, anxiously. "All right! But don't waste any time packing your ball-gowns, Sary," laughed Mr.
She could hardly believe her eyes when she was told about the convenience of modern traveling. "All out not going East!" came a loud call from the colored porter at the end of the Pullman, so Sam Brewster turned and hugged Polly until she almost choked. "Come out, Sary bring your man!" ordered Sam Brewster in a harsh tone, madly dabbing his eyes with a fist, as he left Polly to her mother.
Now had Jeb accepted this sweet praise and been satisfied therewith, his wooing need not have ended so abruptly, but manlike, he wanted to hear added words of flattery about himself, so he sat down on the three-legged stool, and drew the over-willing Sary upon his knee. "Ah forgot to say half what is in mah soul, Sary," he began, as his lines came back to him.
As if that dainty scarf will hide your outlandish dress and mountainous figure!" came insultingly from Barbara. But nothing could spoil the joy of possessing such a heavenly wisp of angel's robe as that scarf seemed to be to Sary. She was deaf to all else, as she tenderly hugged the box to her ample bosom and backed from the room.
"It are!" from Sary, curtly. Mrs. Brewster looked up in surprise. She saw Sary on the safe side of the screen-door glaring at the hornet, which was crawling slowly towards the crack in the opening, while buzzing threateningly, now and then. "There's a hornet, Sary better drive it away before you venture out again." "Ah are." "Take the kettle and dash some boiling water on it.
"Well, he did; and Emmy put him up to it, and I know she did," said Sarah in a lamentable voice. "Sary Ann," said Mrs. Gray, as sharply as any one ever heard her speak, "that's a pretty way to talk about your sister, ain't it?" "Well, Mrs. Jim Harkey said " "You never mind what Mrs. Jim Harkey said; she's a snoop and everybody knows it." "But she wouldn't tell that, if it weren't so."
