She turned to Gloria and said in her quiet way: "You shouldn't take it so hard Sal's falling. We get used to such things here." And she smoothed out Hunkie's dress as she sat down on the window-sill, there being but one chair in the room. "And then when you come right down to it," she said, "Sal will have the time of her life. I just came from the hospital.
She put her head on the window-sill along of mine, and kinder nestled up to me in her lovin' way, and said, softly, "I wouldn't quarrel with the Lord, Anny." "Why, Major! you scare me! I haven't said nothing against the Lord. What do you mean?" said I, for I was touchy, real touchy.
When tea was over, she looked at her husband, and then went to the piano, and sang the following ballad: "'Traveller, what lies over the hill?

"'Child, there's a valley over there, Pretty and woody and shy; And a little brook that says 'take care, Or I'll drown you by and by.
The eldest she said could read anything, whether Welsh or English; she then took from the window-sill a book, which she put into my hand, saying the child could read it and understand it. I opened the book; it was an English school-book treating on all the sciences.
The blackguards murdered him, and dragged the dead body out of the window." Tchubikov went to the window, drew the curtain aside, and cautiously pushed the window. The window opened.

She was hanging over the window-sill watching the surgical case opposite. How glad I am now when I recollect my impulse to catch the little maid and keep her on my knee! Dolly's good Angel prompted this, and had a hand in my inspiration to tell the story of Cinderella, with occasional refrains of song which I do believe old Mrs. Picture enjoyed as much as the two smalls.

But in summer, when we came back to the house, the sun would not have set; and while we were upstairs paying our visit to aunt Leonie its rays, sinking until they touched and lay along her window-sill, would there be caught and held by the large inner curtains and the bands which tied them back to the wall, and split and scattered and filtered; and then, at last, would fall upon and inlay with tiny flakes of gold the lemonwood of her chest-of-drawers, illuminating the room in their passage with the same delicate, slanting, shadowed beams that fall among the boles of forest trees.
