"The furniture was tumbled together in one corner all in a heap, Jonathan says, and the pictures were topsy turvy. Pictures are never on a level on Kansas walls on account of the winds, so Mrs. Jonathan thought little of this, but the ceiling puzzled her. Instead of arching in the old way, it pointed at her.
'And when will my trouble be over? Then half-smiling he turned from the window, and laid his hand on Tom's shoulder. 'Ah, Tom, you soft, silly boy, he said. 'I won't keep you. Go home to your wife and children, and give them all my love. 'Cousin, said Miss Ophelia, coming into the room, 'I want to speak to you about Topsy. 'What has she been doing now?
Whether it was that he had never seen anyone with fair hair before, or whether there is something particularly droll in my appearance, I don't know, but he evidently found me the funniest thing he had met with for a long time. It is generally Topsy who is the centre of interest. They hustle one another to look at her and gurgle with delight.
I'll call you anythin' I please, sassin' me that way!” “I didn't sassed you. You called me names.” “I don't care what I called you—I know what you is.” Here Topsy gathered all her strength and shouted up to Fannie, “You're a heifer, you is.”
Topsy came up; her round, hard eyes glittering and blinking with a mixture of apprehensiveness and their usual odd drollery. "What makes you behave so?" said St. Clare, who could not help being amused with the child's expression. "Spects it's my wicked heart," said Topsy, demurely; "Miss Feely says so." "Don't you see how much Miss Ophelia has done for you?
When Alice saw him coming, she ran out to meet him and, throwing herself into his arms, poured out all her trouble: "Oh, papa, Topsy is lost! We can't find her anywhere! She has been gone all day long! I have looked and looked, and called and called, but she doesn't come!" Papa comforted his little daughter as papas know how to do. "Cheer up! little girl. We will find her after supper," he said.
Kitty suggested a fowl, macaroni cheese, and fruit for dessert, which bill of fare had such an effect on the family that they all groaned in unison. 'Macaroni cheese, growled Topsy, speaking from the very depth of the cork soles she wore to keep her feet dry; 'there's nothing more bilious. I couldn't look at it.
She had studied in Italy, come out in Milan, sung there in opera for a whole winter, and also in Paris and London. "Well, she sings very sweetly and looks very nice and pretty. Then we had a little rosebud of a Chelsea girl who sang, and a pianist. I read 'Minister's Housekeeper' and Topsy, and the audience was very jolly and appreciative. Then we all jogged home." The next letter finds Mrs.
She was more diligent in teaching Topsy, taught her mainly from the Bible, did not any longer shrink from her touch, or manifest an ill-repressed disgust, because she felt none. She viewed her now through the softened medium that Eva's hand had first held before her eyes, and saw in her only an immortal creature, whom God had sent to be led by her to glory and virtue.
I'll tell you all about her when I see you. Really, I roar with laughter every time I look at her! I haven't got time to say more. With this Eliza person in the kitchen goodness knows what may happen. We had to send a note to Mr. Blair not to come for luncheon, the house was so upset. Everything seems quite topsy turvy. And Mr.
