"Because I know that such a task could not fail to be exceedingly unpalatable to one of her temperament; and don't you remember how long she stood out against her father's authority last summer when he bade her ask Vi's pardon for impertinence to her?"
As though his desire had been communicated by mental telepathy Ma Snow's soprano came faintly from the kitchen "We all like she-e-e p-." Miss Rosie's alto was heard above the clatter of the dishes she was placing on the table in the dining-room "We all like she-e-e p-." Miss Vi's throaty contralto was wafted down the stairs "We all like she-e-e-p." "Have gone" sang the tenor.
Her eyes met Bonbright's eyes and she grinned. No other word can describe it. It was not an impertinent grin, nor a familiar grin, nor a COMMON grin. It was spontaneous, unstudied it lay at the opposite end of the scale from Bonbright Foote VI's smile. Somehow the flash of it COMFORTED Bonbright. His sensations responded to it. It was a grin that radiated with well wishes for all the world.
And, of course, as usual, nobody could explain it to Vi's satisfaction. "I know a riddle!" cried Laddie, after a moment. "What looks like a boy, but bounces like a rubber ball? Why! A bellboy!"

I wouldn't exchange with her for all the world!" "Thank you; that's a very high compliment, I think; for I greatly admire my new brother-in-law," Edward said, with a gleeful laugh, and repeating his caresses.
"Yes, papa, you are trying to make me ask Mamma Vi's pardon after I have said I wouldn't." "Ah, my child, that was a wicked promise because it was rebellion against your father's authority, which God commands you to respect. Therefore the sin was in making it, and it is your duty to break it."
Please, please forgive me. I've done it asked Mamma Vi's pardon, and and I'll never talk so to her again, nor ever disobey you any more."

"I am rejoiced that you have given up your rebellion so that now I can love and pet you to my heart's content if God spares me to get up from this bed of pain.
"Dear child!" he said in moved tones and clasping her close, "you have a very strong and unselfish love for me." "Papa, it would have broken my heart, and Mamma Vi's, and Max's and Gracie's too, if anything dreadful had happened to you." "And what about papa's heart if he should lose his dear little daughter Lulu, or anything dreadful should happen to her?"
