Miss Gertrude rose, but with not the best grace in the world, and Christie followed her into the house and up-stairs. At the first landing a door opened, and a little boy, half-dressed, rushed out. "Tudie, let me go with you; I want to go." "Naughty boys who won't let Mattie dress them mustn't expect to be taken anywhere. You are not to come with me. You will wake Claude."
Josie Dean was quite womanly already, and didn't want to wear her hair in "pigtails" any more indeed, quite fretted because her mother wouldn't let her put it up. But Tudie confessed to Hanny "that she should be awful sorry when she was too big to play with dolls." "I put my beautiful doll away the Christmas Stevie was born," said Hanny.
Tudie kept watch while her sister was making the purchase. Then they walked up, then down, looking on the other side lest they should not see him. Up and down again up with very slow steps. What if they should miss him! They turned. "Hillo!" cried a familiar voice. "Oh, Mr. Reed!" They blocked his way in a manner that amused him. He looked from one to the other, and smiled at the eager faces.
We never get a sight of you lately. Come in neighborly and play checkers with Tudie." It was the darling wish of Mother Barringer's heart to see her daughter married and settled with "a stiddy young man that you knowed all about, and his folks before him." She had observed with great disquietude the brilliant avatar of Mr.
And Delia is getting to be famous too, I hear. It is odd, but she doesn't suggest a genius to my mind. I think you often are disappointed in geniuses. We saw some while abroad, and they did not come up to my expectations, or else one expects too much. Still there are some lovely faces." "But she is just delightful! Only she keeps so busy, we do not see much of her." "And poor little Tudie!
"Oh, yes, you would, even when you loved it and tried to learn with all your might. Tunes give you a joyful sort of feeling," and Hanny's eyes sparkled. "And you could dance to this," Tudie whispered softly, while her eyes danced unmistakably. Mrs. Jasper examined several of them and listened to the tunes. They came back to that for forty dollars. "We will have to talk to papa.
He submitted quite patiently to the operation, only saying, now and then, as he turned round to look in her face: "Am I naughty, Tudie? Are you going to punish me?" She did not answer him. Indeed, there was no occasion. He did not seem at all afraid of the punishment, whatever it might be. When she had tied on his shoe, he slipped from her, and flung himself on the sofa beside his brother.
She was getting ready to go away with Charles, when the summons came. But the greatest sorrow of all to her was the loss of Tudie Dean. She had been rather drooping for several days; and one night Doctor Joe had been summoned, but in vain. Two of the prettiest of the little Jewish children who had come to the Whitney house were buried on the same day.
Then Christie kissed his little white hands, and Gertrude kissed his lips and his shining hair, but neither of them spoke a word. "Now, Tudie, come and sing to Christie and me," said the child, slipping from her lap, and taking her hand. "Yes; I will sing till you are weary."
Bradbury, who for years was destined to be the children's delight, was teaching singing classes and giving concerts with his best pupils. Mrs. Dean decided to let the girls go to the four o'clock class. Hanny would join them. They could study the Sunday lesson before or afterward. "If I only could go," sighed the boy. The tears came into his eyes. "And you can sing just lovely!" declared Tudie.
