"I partly wish I had, before now." "O, you goose! Be a kitchen-wolloper!" "May be I sha'n't be anything, very long. I should like to feel as if I could stir round." "I wouldn't care if anybody could see what it came to, or what there was left of it at the year's end," said Elise Mokey. "I'd sweep a room fast enough if it was my own," said Kate Sencerbox.
Without waiting to be catechised, or resenting beforehand the spirit of jealous inquiry, Asenath Scherman was frankly putting it in the heads of these unused applicants that there might be doubts as to her service suiting them. "I suppose we could do anything reasonable," said Kate Sencerbox. "I wonder if it is reasonable!" said Mrs. Scherman. "Mr.
Desire Ledwith knew that; so she held her peace about it for a while, among these girls to whom Bel Bree was preaching her crusade. All they knew was that Dot Ingraham and her machine were gone away into a family eighteen miles from Boston. "If you find anything for me to do, Miss Ledwith, I'll do it," said Kate Sencerbox.
She was never nursed or tended in a hurry. Babies blossom, as plants do, under the tender touch. Kate Sencerbox, or Bel Bree, was glad to come into this nest-warm pleasantness, when the mother must leave it for a while. It was not an irksomeness flung by, like a tangled skein, for somebody else to tug at and unravel; it was a joy in running order.
"There's only one place, I guess, after all," said Kate, "where you can be shut up with nothing but your own dust!" "Sharper than ever, Kate Sencerbox! I guess you do get rubbed up!" "Mr. Stalworth is there to-night," said Bel. "He tells as good stories as he writes. And they've been talking about Tyndall's Essays, and the spectroscope. Mrs.
Do you know about housework, about cooking?" "It's very good of you to put it in that way," said Kate Sencerbox. "We just do know about it, and perhaps that's all, at present. But we're Yankees, and we mean to know." "And you would like to experiment with me?" "Well, it wouldn't be altogether experiment, from the very beginning," said Bel.
"To be married to Lord Mortimer, and go and live in an Abbey," said Mary Pinfall, who sat on a box with a cracker in one hand, and the third volume of her old novel in the other. The girls shouted. "That means you'd like a real good husband, a Tom, or a Dick, or a Harry," said Kate Sencerbox. "Lord Mortimers don't grow in this country. We must take the kind that do.
I sha'n't do that; because I'm going to persuade you to go with me. And we'll make the home, if they give us ever so little a corner of it. And as soon as they find out what we are, they'll treat us accordingly." Kate Sencerbox shrugged her shoulders. "The world isn't going to be made all over in a day, nor Boston either; not if it is all burnt up to begin with."
I wasn't going to let you fly right out with discouragements." "It is you that flies out with taking for granteds," said Kate Sencerbox, in a subdued monotone of quietness. "I was only going to remark that we had got neither cellar windows, nor attic skylights after all. I'm favorably surprised with the accommodations. I've paid four dollars a week for a great deal worse.
But while baby is so little, I can't spare her for much more. With doing them, and her own clothes, I don't seem to have her more than half the time, now." Kate Sencerbox sat still, considering. Bel Bree was afraid that was the last of it.
