We're goin' to sweep under everything an' behind every las' thing, under 'n' behind. She won't find a grain o' dust. An' Stefana's makin' starch." "Mercy gracious!" softly ejaculated Miss Theodosia. "I mean to eat in the dessert corn-starch. We've begun to skim Elly Precious's bottles. You can eat thin bottles, can't you, darlin' dear, when Mother's comin' home?
They let me stay Elly Precious's nap out, because it isn't a sleep go-cart. He has to sit up straight in it. The lady said to lie him down there an' let him sleep. But we didn't expect he'd sleep so long the lady went away, but I stayed. I wasn't goin' to wake a Best Baby up out o' a sound sleep! It made us a little late gettin' home." "Yes, go on," murmured the Man Person feelingly.
In the dark Miss Theodosia waited; she saw no light as yet. "If I could only have 'em if I only had've, anyway! Then I could take care of my darlin' dear. But Elly Precious's is the only measles we ever had in the family." Ah, light! Miss Theodosia blinked in the sudden inflow of it. Evangeline's released tongue leaped ahead. "How'd I know the Benjamin baby had 'em when she only just sneezed?
"We're in mournin'," she said. "All of us are on our sleeves. Elly Precious's doesn't stay on very well." "Evangeline!" again cried Miss Theodosia, this time in a startled voice. Fears beset her. Was it the mother, or had poor Aunt Sarah raveled out? How could it have happened so suddenly a bolt out of the clear little Flagg skies? "It's you," Evangeline said.
"Now," Miss Theodosia said, "I'll get you some preserved ginger and shoo you home! You mustn't stay another minute, or Stefana will surely be over here with a policeman." "Stefana's proud, too she needn't pretend! I saw her kissin' Elly Precious's knee. But she'll scold; she thinks it's her duty. Mercy gracious, when Aunt Sarah knits an' Mother's back, I hope Stefana'll grow down again."
I came over to ask if I'd better send word to Mother. He said to ask you." "Carruthers?" Miss Theodosia was a little bewildered. "The Tract Man. He's the one that that discovered Elly Precious's measles when we found he was broken out I mean Elly Precious broken out " "Yes, yes, I know. He is a doctor I mean " Miss Theodosia caught herself up firmly. One at least must steer a clear course.
