The dog was dragged away and the community returned to the allegiance which it owed to quietude and laziness; the shiftless lout loitered along the road, and the old woman, on the gray mare, followed by the fuzzy mule colt, carried down to the "commercial emporium," "a settin' o' goose aigs" to be swopped for a handful of coffee and a lump of brown sugar. "Ma'm," said Starbuck to Mrs.
Now, wouldn't you like to join us to-night, because it'll be a lonely time for you here, and it may start in and rain again? We want to get something to eat the worst kind, and have money to buy whatever you happen to have handy, chickens, ham, potatoes or anything at all. The girls are nearly starved they say. Now how about it, ma'm?"
'Tis th' firm hand I'll be afther showin' her, but th' tinder wan, like I done wid her fa-ather forty year ago. Ye lave her ter me, ma'm." So the motor-party set out with one member of it uncertain of what might happen during her absence; but there was no uncertainty in Patricia's mind.
Again she kissed the girl and left her to sleep. She found Billy standing in the ladies' parlor with a perplexed and disappointed look on his face. "The Doc said she'd sure want some tea," he said. "And you made the tea yourself?" inquired Mandy. "Sure thing! The Doc " "Well, Billy, I'd just love a cup of tea if you don't mind wasting it on me." "Sure thing, ma'm!
"Physical Culture," said Eliph', "How to Develop the Body, How to Maintain Perfect Health, How to Keep Young and Beautiful. Why, ma'm, that's just a system of training for the body. It makes one more graceful, just like running and jumping makes a boy strong." The doctor's wife heaved a sigh of relief. "Well, I guess that won't hurt Doc any if he does read it," she laughed.
"I was warned not to come here, that the people were ungentle and that the report of the gun was oftener heard than the strains of the song; but I find that your life here is almost uneventful music." "I don't know what sort of music that is, ma'm, but if you say so, I'd be willin' to bet on it. Wouldn't you, Jim?" "I don't bet, Uncle Jasper, but but if she wanted me to I would."
She placed a chair for Auntie Sue, and added: "You-all best make yourself comfertable, though, ma'm. I'm mighty nigh tuckered out myself. Hit's a right smart way from where pap's a-livin' ter here, an' I done come in a hurry." She dropped down on the floor, her back against the bed, and clasped her knees in her hands, as Auntie Sue seated herself.
"What might that be, ma'm?" asked Lil Artha, in a quivering voice; for the poor fellow began to have a terrible fear that she was about to warn them her stock of provisions was too valuable to be wasted on a batch of tramps.
"Oh, Ma'm Maynard, no!" protested Mary, who had turned from the mirror and was staring with wide eyes. "I can't believe it never!" "What is it, ma cherie, which you cannot believe?" "That man is woman's natural enemy." "But I tell you, yes, yes.... It has halways been so and it halways will. Everything that lives has its own natural enemy and a woman's natural enemy it is man!
Of co'se I'll pay you fer yo'r trouble." "Thank y', ma'm," he replied. He knew that she would not pay him, for the simple reason that he would not accept pay for such a service. "Is she gwine fur?" he asked, with a sorrowful look, which he could not entirely disguise.
