The next day Aunt Stanshy met Miss Barry. "Miss Miss Barry," said Aunt Stanshy, nervously clutching her companion's shawl, "we must pray for our meeting." "O, we will, we will!" There were earnest prayers going to God in behalf of that meeting.
Will was now shoving, Aunt Stanshy and Charlie hauling, while the man tried to grasp the sides of the steps; and so, out of the slime and the mist and the night, up into the light, and then into Aunt Stanshy's barn, came the face of old Tim Tyler! "Horrors!" said Aunt Stanshy, startled by this unexpected sight of the second mud-turtle.
"Pertatoes," she fortunately shrieked. "All right," said Pip, and she was spared a second shot. "I'm thankful to get through safe, and now I have not to pay, after all that risk?" "Certainly, madam," politely replied Charlie, the treasurer, who now met her. "I'll take your ticket and punch it." Having punched her ticket, he retired. Aunt Stanshy looked about the chamber.
When Aunt Stanshy had lighted the kerosene lamp that had a big lion's claw for a base and boasted a yellow shade covered with green shepherdesses and blue sheep, then Charlie sat down at the center-table and for an hour was exceedingly busy. About eight he held up an object to Aunt Stanshy. "What is that, Aunt Stanshy?" he asked. "A rag-man," she replied, promptly.
O she is a woman of 'mazin' vigor, Stanshy is, when she gets agoin'. She came down stairs and she fastened up this door, and then I seed her fumblin' in her pocket, and, pullin' out a piece of chalk, she began to write. When Stanshy had finished, of course, I was at my chores agin very busily engaged.
He guessed that it was some one out on the sidewalk whom she had discovered, and he stretched his small head beyond the ring of singers, anxiously looking out into the shadows. His sharp eye saw that form leaning against the fence. He could not wait until the song was finished. He ran out upon the sidewalk, and Aunt Stanshy followed.
There was a string of sweet little beauties on the bench, girls from the neighborhood, and among them was little May Waters, her face one of wonderful vivacity, a kind of panorama in itself, where the most varied emotions chased one another in rapid succession. Aunt Stanshy found a sled to sit on, and the performance began. Gov. Grimes wished to try his hand first at explaining the pictures.
I will look after my man here. Bring my slippers, please." "Where's hic your boots?" "O, they concluded to stay in the dock." "I'll get you another pair hic." "I may find them at low-water and by daylight." Tim Tyler stayed at Aunt Stanshy's that night The next morning he was in his right mind, and, thanking Aunt Stanshy, said he must go.
"How much money was in it?" inquired Aunt Stanshy. "Ten cents." "I said you might lose your money." This was entirely true, but it was poor consolation. Indeed, it was quite aggravating. "Did you have any mark on the dipper?" "Yes; a shield on the bottom, though though 'twas not a very good one."
Thereupon the two women both swung round and looked away, like neighboring vanes struck by opposite currents of wind. Aunt Stanshy started and went ahead rapidly. In a moment Charlie heard some one crying. Looking back he saw it was Pip, who had fallen and hurt himself.
