Guernsey had sent home a letter to his father—not Mr. Guernsey's father, but George's; he had now, true's you live.
"Thank you, marm, thank you; you're very kind." During the few following days Mrs. Sullivan came in and sat with Gerty several times. She was a gentle woman, with a placid face, very refreshing to a child that had long lived in fear, and suffered a great deal of abuse. One evening, when Gerty had nearly recovered, she was sitting in True's lap by the fire, carefully wrapped in a blanket.
Folks don't look like wild creatur's for nothin'. Is'iah's got fox blood in him, an' p'r'haps 't is his misfortune. His own mother always favored the looks of an old fox, true's the world; she was a poor tool, a poor tool! I d'know's we ought to blame him same's we do. "I've always been a master proud woman, if I was riz among the pastures," Mrs. Peet added, half to herself.
True gave him a sharp nudge with her elbow. 'Don't talk so much, she said. Bobby subsided meekly. He felt this strange experience was rather bewildering, and wondered at True's calm composure.

What he wants is ten quarts apiece, no matter if it's bluer'n a whetstone. I guess I can swap off with him; but I don't want to run arter him. I put the case last Thursday. Mebbe he'll drop round."

'Hello, Bettins, he said, and it was Bettin's voice replying. 'Where did Jim go? he asked. 'Search me, retorted Monte Devine. Then, a hint of a jeer in his voice, 'Going to stay out there in the dark all night?
Gerty had not been to school since the day of her battle with the girls. True's persuasions had failed; she would not go. But Emily understood the child's nature better than True did, and urged upon her more forcible motives than the old man had thought of employing, that she succeeded where he had failed.
