She says she can't see an' she said at the meetin' as elected her, that she couldn't see what our sewin' society could possibly get out of any convention, for you can buy all the patterns by mail now just as well as if you have 'em all to look over.
"Maybe, it was God and maybe it was Doctor Dexter," answered Miss Mehitable, quickly. "That's something there don't nobody know except Evelina and Doctor Dexter, and it's not for me to ask either one of 'em, though I don't doubt some of the sewin' society 'll make an errand to Evelina's to find out. I've got to keep 'em off 'n her, if I can, and that's a big job for one woman to tackle.
I much prefer to do all my work by hand." "All right," assented Miss Mattie, good-humouredly. "It ain't our idea to force a sewin' machine onto anybody that don't want it. We can use some of the money in gettin' a door-mat for the front door of the church. And, if I was you, I wouldn't let my pa run around so much by himself.
Well, I must say!" "Ya-as," drawled Captain Josiah, "thanks was what I said. If it wan't for him this gang and the sewin' circle wouldn't have nothin' to talk about but their neighbors. Our reputations would be as full of holes as a skimmer by this time. Now all hands are so busy jumpin' on Whit, that the rest of us can feel fairly safe. Ain't that so, Gabe?" Mr.
Evidently the timid old gentleman had taken advantage of the confusion to slip unobtrusively away. "I'll go bring him down," shouted Marcus; "he's got to join us." Miss Baker was in great agitation. "I I hardly think you'd better," she murmured; "he he I don't think he drinks beer." "He takes his amusement in sewin' up books," cried Maria.
And he said as I wuz a sewin' it on, he a-holdin' his hat for me, "that Wellington deserved it; he deserved it all." But, as I say, he shed tears to think that his handkerchief wuzn't black-bordered. He said "it wuz a fearful oversight; it would probably make talk." "But," I sez, "mebby it won't be noticed." "Yes, it will," sez he. "It will be noticed."
It's all on account o' them books that he's made the front o' his house into what it is. My wife had a paper book wunst, a-tellin' 'How to Transfer a Hopeless Exterior, with pictures of houses in it like they be here an' more arter they'd been transferred. You bet I burnt it while she was gone to sewin' circle, an' there ain't no book come into my house since." Mr.
It might do very well for the city folks; but the land knows I'd be sorry enough to live there. What's putting parks in your head?" But the daughter did not answer, and the mother stood still and looked at her, with perhaps an inscrutable bit of pride and delight behind her hard features. It never came out. "Diana, do you calculate to be ready for the sewin' meetin'?" "Yes, mother."
"A fishin' rod for Celia!" she exclaimed, "when all she ever thinks about is cookin' an' sweepin' an' sewin' all day." "That's it," Mrs. Nitschkan radiated self-approbation and satisfaction. "It made a nice show at the weddin', didn't it? And it has sure been useful to me since." But Mrs. Thomas had again absorbed herself in her correspondence, and it is doubtful if she heard these last words.
"An' bein' ez I hev hed a hard day's ironin', I hev got a stitch in my side." "I'd onderstan' that better if ye hed hed a hard day's sewin'," said Justus. He was in high feather, eager, jubilant, drinking in all the rich and subtle flavors of success with the gusto of personal triumph. "He air prouder'n Wat," more than one observer opined.
