I'll carry the basket half the way and you carry it the other half." "Well " he grumbled, consenting. "That's the only right way," she said sunnily. "You carry it till we get to the fish man's, and I'll carry it all the way back." But even Herbert could perceive the inequality here. "It'll be empty then," he protested. "Fair's fair and wrong's wrong," she returned firmly.
Sunny was used to so much attention that he felt rather put out when Araminta, sweeping the front porch, told him that Mother and Grandma had taken Peter and the buggy and had driven to Cloverways. "They said I could go next time," grumbled Sunny Boy, not a bit sunnily. "Mother said so. 'Tain't fair." "Don't say 'tain't," corrected Araminta, who was very careful of Sunny's grammar.
Patty, who hitherto had had no designs on a "career," but had been sunnily content to be a home girl and Mother's right hand, also realized that it would be well to look about her for something to do. She was not really needed so far as the work of the little house went, and the whole burden must not be allowed to fall on Clifford's eighteen-year-old shoulders.
The delicate pink colour which Henrietta had described was on her cheek, contrasting with the ivory whiteness of the rest of her face; the blue eyes shone with a sweet subdued brightness under their long black lashes; the lips smiled, though languidly yet as sunnily as ever; the dark hair lay in wavy lines along the sides of her face; and but for the helplessness with which the figure rested in the chair, there was less outward token of suffering than he had often seen about her, more appearance almost of youth and beauty.
He made Sam wash and wash and wash his hands before he was allowed to handle any of the delicate paper. "De paper'll jest git dirty right away," grumbled Sam sullenly, albeit he washed his hands, and his eyes glowed as they used to when a child at a rare "find" in the gutter. "Wot'll you do when it gits dirty?" demanded Sam belligerently. "Put on some clean," said Michael sunnily.
'But in ten minutes I must be with the Lady Katharine, and I am minded to hear the upshot of this conference. Cromwell laughed at him sunnily: 'Go and do your message with the lady. An you hasten, you may return ere ever this conference ends, since slow wits like ours need a store of words to speak their minds with.
Amelia was ashamed of her momentary outbreak. She looked up and smiled sunnily. "Well, I suppose it is foolish," she owned, "too foolish to tell. But I've been settin' all his clothes in order to lay 'em aside at last. I kind o' like to do it." Aunt Ann wagged her head, and ran a knitting-needle up under her cap on a voyage of discovery.
The baron would indeed miss her; and he was one of the saddest men in Pyechurch that day. With the departure of Pollyooly his hours of ease came to an end. No longer could he in his sunnily disposed deck-chair read the sweet books he loved in a perfect serenity. Once more he must follow his royal charge up and down the sands and keep an ever watchful eye on him.
Well, anyway, I bet you'd of seen something pretty different and a whole lot better if I'd of come over to this town in time to get up this party for you!" "For US," Miss Pratt corrected him, sunnily. "Bofe strangers party for us two all bofe!" And she gave him one of her looks. Mr. Crooper flushed with emotion; he was annexed; he became serious.
Disgusting wasn't the word for George's emotions. In desperation he grasped at one final, fugitive hope. "All right," he said sullenly: "all right! You don't gotta believe me if you don't wanta. Only wait that's all I ask wait! You'll see I'm right when she turns down your invite to-night." P. Sybarite smiled sunnily. "So that is why you thought she wouldn't go with us, is it?" "You got me."
