Vawse," said Alice, as she went on pulling the things out of the basket; "there is a bowl of butter that's not wanted, I see and here is a loaf of bread; and that's all. Ellen, my dear, this basket will be lighter to carry down than it was to bring up." "I am glad of it, I am sure," said Ellen; "my arm hasn't done aching yet, though I had it so little while."

She looked up with an odd expression of determination in her face, determination taking its stand upon difficulties. "I shan't stay there, Mrs. Vawse, if I go! I shall go, I suppose, if I must; but do you think anything will keep me there? Never!" "You will stay for the same reason that you go for, Ellen, to do your duty." "Yes, till I am old enough to choose for myself, Mrs.

Miss Sophia was active, cheerful, untiring in her affectionate care, always pleasant in manner and temper; a very useful person in a house where one was ailing. Mrs. Vawse was often there, too, and to her Ellen clung, whenever she came, as to a pillar of strength. Miss Sophia could do nothing to help her; Mrs. Vawse could, a great deal.

"You're such an expert, you know." "Some other time some other time! I'm due at a lecture now!" pleaded Ikey, squirming to get away. "The lecture can wait," said Dunk. "Look at that vawse for the holding of the rose petals from your loved one. See it there now would you advise me to buy it? It's much cheaper than the one you and your beloved Hashmi stuck me with."

Alice entered, and knocked at the other door. They were bade to come in. A woman was there stepping briskly back and forth before a large spinning-wheel. She half turned her head to see who the comers were, then stopped her wheel instantly, and came to meet them with open arms. "Miss Alice! Dear Miss Alice, how glad I am to see you!" "And I you, dear Mrs. Vawse," said Alice, kissing her.

Vawse will live in such a disagreeable place." "It is not disagreeable to her, Ellen; though I must say I should not like to have too much of this wind." "But does she really like to live up here better than down below, where it is warmer? and all alone, too?" "Yes, she does. Ask her why, Ellen, and see what she will tell you.

"Well, I don't know," said she; "I suppose you are right; but I don't understand it." Alice drew her face down to hers, and whispered something in her ear. Undoubtedly Alice had much around, as well as within her, to make a declining life happy. Mrs. Vawse and Miss Marshman were two friends and nurses not to be surpassed in their different ways.

You do not know what new friends you may find to love." Ellen had in her own heart the warrant for what she had said, and what she saw by her smile Mrs. Vawse doubted; but she disdained to assert what she could bring nothing to prove. She took a sorrowful leave of her old friend, and returned home. After dinner, when Mr.

Not a week after, one morning, Nancy Vawse came into the kitchen, and asked in her blunt fashion "Is Ellen Montgomery at home?" "I believe Miss Ellen is in the parlour," said Margery, drily. "I want to speak to her." Margery silently went across the hall to the sitting-room. "Miss Ellen, dear," she said, softly, "here is that Nancy girl wanting to speak with you will you please to see her?"

Alice thought of these lines, "Their pleasures rise to things unseen, Beyond the bounds of time: Where neither eyes nor ears have been, Nor thoughts of mortals climb." "You judge," said she, "like the rest of the world, of that which they see not. After all, they know best whether they are happy. What do you think of Mrs. Vawse?
