I don't think, though, this is one of that sort; she's kinder child-like, said the landlady, and maybe never had any dolls to play with; for they say her folks was poor before Ma'am undertook to see to her teachin' and board her and clothe her. I could not help overhearing this conversation. "Board her and clothe her!" speaking of such a young creature! Oh, dear!
"They been learnin' us teachin' us, I mean French. It's the darnedest language! Bread is pain. Can you beat that? If you want to ask for a piece of bread, you say like this: Donnay ma un morso doo pang. See?" "My!" breathed Tessie, all admiration. And within her something was screaming: "Oh, my God! Oh, my God! He knows French. And those girls that can row and everything.
"Would you ruther keep your job than quit and get married?" "That depends " "Or," quickly added the doctor, "you might jus keep on teachin' the school after you was married, if you married some one livin' right here. Ain't? And if you kep' on the right side of the School Board. Unlest you'd ruther marry a town fellah and give up your job out here. I'm well fixed. I got money plenty."
"She did at first, but now she's workin' every day, and she looks more cheerful-like." "Miss Florence workin'! She that was always brought up like a lady!" "She's teachin' a little girl three hours a day." "Well, that isn't so bad!" said Jane, relieved. "Teachin' is genteel. I wish I could see her some day.
"Mebbe not," said Dan Kidley, "but it's Passon Walden's teachin', an' if you ain't 'eard Passon yet, Mister Bennett, I'd advise ye to go next Sunday. An' if your lady 'ud make up her mind to go too just for once " Bennett gave an expressive gesture. "She won't go you may depend on that!" he said; "She's had too much of parsons as it is. Why Mrs.
Maybe she is, too," Joe suggested. "No, you'll not git out of it now, you'll stick right here and put in your time, after all the trouble and expense I've been put to teachin' you what little you know about farmin'," Isom declared. He took up his plow and jerked his horse around into the row. Joe stood watching him, with folded arms, plainly with no intention of following.
"My goodness," said Aunt Rebecca one day in February when a blizzard held her snowbound at the Reist farmhouse, "that girl must be doin' too much with this teachin' and basket makin' and who knows what not! She looks pale and sharp-chinned. Ain't you noticed?" she asked Mrs. Reist.
"His arm is broke and he's broke somewhere inside, and his face is awful to look at, all pounded and kicked and bleedin'. Me and Lige goes up to sit a bit and hear un tell their stories, and we gets there just after the two men gets away. With Doctor Joe's teachin' we fixes the boss up the best we can, and whilst Lige stays to help look after he, I comes for Doctor Joe.
"Teachin' tricks t' a dog is kid stuff." "Can you do it?" the cook asked sarcastically. "Who'd bother t' try?" Hanlon looked up, blandly. "You couldn't expect that of Mr. Gorton, Cookie. To teach an animal to do tricks you have to know more than it does." "Why, you ..." Gorton started forward, his face aflame, while the other men roared with laughter at the rough wit.
"Boys," he said at length, taking his pipe from his mouth, "I'm real sorry at what ye've done to-night. I've six little ones of me own, an' I hope to God when they grow up they'll not be afeered to kneel down an' do as yon lad has done to-night. I'm not a good man meself, more's the pity. But that boy's had a good mother's teachin'. I honour her an' 'im.
