"What an exceedingly queer cognomen!" Tabitha caught her breath, then said slowly, "It isn't very pretty, perhaps; but one gets used to their name so they don't mind it." "Well, I must say if I had such an odd name as that I would change it. I never could get used to it; but then, some people haven't as sensitive natures as others."
Then, as night and snow set in, a general move was made indoors, at Rahl's quarters, to the parlour, where a tall spruce tree, brilliant with lighted tallow dips, and decorated with bits of coloured paper, red-tinted eggs, and not a little of the recent plunder, drew forth cries of admiration from both Janice and Tabitha, neither of whom had ever seen the like.
Go to my room, I want to have an understanding with you. Maria, Tabitha isn't to have a taste of those berries. I just found her in the middle of the road down here fighting with a boy, like the rowdy she is." Accustomed to obey this stern father, Tabitha had withdrawn into the house, and started for the room where punishment awaited her.
But, methinks, he might have invested the money better than he did no interest! nothing but good security! and the house to be torn down to come at it! What made him hide it so snug, Tabby?"

"Rachel Bond started into this work quite as brash as Harry Glen started into the war.
It wouldn't have mattered so much if Aunt Tabitha had said it at once after Miss Grizzel, but as she generally made a little pause between, it was sometimes rather awkward. But of course it was better to say "thank you" or "no, thank you" twice over than to hurt Aunt Tabitha's feelings. After breakfast Aunt Grizzel was as good as her word.
And Miss Tabitha repeated that Sister Grizzel might indeed congratulate herself.
As she neared the schoolhouse, she saw through the open window the teacher correcting papers at her desk, her head bowed low over her work and one hand shading her eyes. "I was real wicked to her," said Tabitha to herself. "I ought to tell her how sorry I am for I am sorry now." Impulsively she ran across the yard, threw open the door and burst into the room.
