Have I deserved it?" Mrs. McLane sighed in pathetic hopelessness. "I don't know, Howard. I'm worried about Grant. He gets more an' more downhearted an' gloomy every day. Seem's if he'd go crazy. He don't care how he looks any more, won't dress up on Sunday. Days an' days he'll go aroun' not sayin' a word. I was in hopes you could help him, Howard." "My coming seems to have had an opposite effect.
"Oh, I'll NEVER be able to look like Miss Shirley," thought poor Charlotta despairingly. "You just have to be born so, I guess . . . don't seem's if any amount of practice could give you that AIR."

"Tode, you must be soft if you expect to make anything out o' such a bad lot as Carrots."
If I'd dropped that dish 'twould have upset, and every slice of citron in it rolled whithrety-yonder. But for you it knew better; just slipped off as slick as could be, landed right side up, and not a morsel scattered. Seem's if dirt nor nothin' disorderly ever could come a-nigh you, honey." Mrs. Trent did not even hear.
