"Be quiet, you mother dear," she cried, her ready blushes mounting again. "Don't you dare to say things. The mother only smiled the more deeply. "Best go and round Alec up. Supper's ready." But the girl hesitated. "He's at the barns fixing his outfit with Keewin," she said. "He reckons to break trail in a few days. Say, Murray's gone across to Father José with them. Will I get him, too?"
"Don't let us think or talk of her now," interrupted her brother. "To hurry down to supper is our present business." When the two went downstairs, they found the colored woman standing by an open door in the rear of the hall. "Supper's ready, sir," said she, and they entered the dining-room.
Likewise the older boys had followed Martin's example and donned the hot woolen articles of dress they considered superfluous in the house during the summer days. Isabel chattered gaily to the men of the Landis household until Mrs. Landis stood in the doorway and announced, "Come now, folks, supper's done." After the twelve were seated about the big table, Mr. Landis said grace and then Mrs.
"That's so, Sara, for Mr. Glendenning said I spoke good English, or, at least, that because you were so wise was why my English was correct, something like that." "Why, what does he know of me?" astonishedly. "Oh, nothing much, only I said you'd been to school, and so on. Sara, I believe I'll go up-stairs and lie down till supper's ready I'm just about tuckered out!" "Humph!
I know, because I had a little experience that way myself once, only it was two weeks I had to go without when we were camping and not many months. When supper's ready he'll come with a rush, mark me, Andy." And he proved to be a true prophet, for no sooner had Andy lifted up his voice to call that the meal was ready than the professor broke through the bushes and hastened to take his place.
"Well, Zeena," he ventured from the threshold. She did not move, and he continued: "Supper's about ready. Ain't you coming?" She replied: "I don't feel as if I could touch a morsel." It was the consecrated formula, and he expected it to be followed, as usual, by her rising and going down to supper.
"In the south front room," she answered, still frightened, but glad nothing more serious had happened. "You mustn't scream like that." "Supper's ready," resumed Hepsey, nonchalantly, and Ruth followed her down to the little dining-room. As she ate, she plied the maid with questions. "Does Miss Hathaway light that lamp in the attic every night?" "Yes'm.
Sally stirred the pot once more. "I wish those children would make haste and come. I don't know where they've got to. Supper's ready now." "Shall I go and see if I can find them?" said Philip. It was a relief to talk about practical things. "Well, it wouldn't be a bad idea, I must say.... There's mother coming." Then, as he got up, she looked at him without embarrassment.
She sat there weeping silently until she heard the sound of Bud's step, then she sprang up and ran away to hide. She didn't dare to face him with tears in her eyes. Bud came in without a word and sat down in the dark front room. "Dat you, Bud?" asked his mother. "Yassum." "Bettah come now, supper's puty 'nigh ready." "I don' want no supper." "You bettah come on, Bud, I reckon you mighty tired."
Mrs. She sat in the parlour with her guest until Mr. Jenney reappeared with shining face and damp hair. "You'll excuse me, my dear," said Mrs. Jenney, "but the supper's on the stove, and I have to run out now and then." Mr. Jenney was entertaining. He had the shrewd, humorous outlook upon life characteristic of the best type of New England farmer, and Victoria got along with him famously.
