Then came a great social event, the annual "mask and shadow dance" of a local political organization. Sadie and Rosie attended. A "mask and shadow dance" is as important a function to girls of Sadie's and Rosie's class as a cotillion is to girls of your class. Such affairs are possible only in large dance halls, and to do them impressively costs the proprietor some money.
He paused with a dry smile. "I allow you're smart enough to figure this out." "I have," said Sadie. "There's much I don't know and couldn't learn here. If I'm to move up, my husband must help." "Then I only know two men round the settlement who could help. Festing's my choice." A wave of color flushed Sadie's white skin, but her voice was quiet. "He isn't mine.
"Well," Miss Bailey answered, "she has rather bothered me lately by quarrelling with her little cousin, Eva." "So-o-oh!" exclaimed Sadie's parent ponderously. "So-o-oh, Eva Gonorowsky makes you troubles; she is a bad girl I tell Sadie Sadie is a good girl I tell her she should make nothings with Eva soch a bad girl. For what you not put her back by baby class? She is not shmardt."
Each said that Sadie or Rebecca or Mary Agatha or whichever little girl it might be, had repeatedly fallen below; that she had not for weeks given her mind to her lessons, and she could not conscientiously be recommended as ready for Examination for the Grammar School. The next day, near recess, there came a knock at the Fifth Reader door. Sadie's mamma came in. Sadie grew red.
Evening after evening they walked and walked and walked, usually in company at perhaps the distance of half a block with Albert Paxton and Sadie Clews, though Ramsey now and then felt disgraced by having fallen into this class; for sometimes it was apparent that Albert casually had his arm about Sadie's waist. This allured Ramsey somewhat, but terrified him more.
Th' doctor didn't expect it t' live as long as it did, but Luther would have it that it could, an' kept 'em a tryin' everything that could be thought of." Sadie's voice died away gradually and she lay looking out of the window retrospectively: the last two weeks had brought food for much thinking. "I didn't know, Lizzie, that a man could be as good as Luther.
His next proceeding was most astounding; coolly possessing himself of one of the small gloved hands that lay idly in Sadie's lap, he said, in a quiet, matter-of-fact tone: "Sadie, would you allow me to put my arm around you?"
She stopped beside Elizabeth's coops in the backyard and examined the little groups of begging, downy balls with the animation of a true farmer's wife. Here was something she knew as well as Elizabeth; in fact, when a count was made it was discovered that Sadie's broods several times outnumbered those of the neighbour she envied.
"You might as well get your clothes chick, while you're about it and I didn't have to dig up twenty bones, neither nor anything like it " a reflection on Janet's most blue suit and her abnormal extravagance. For it was Lise's habit to carry the war into the enemy's country. "Sadie's dippy about it says it puts her in mind of one of the swells snapshotted in last Sunday's supplement.
"Never mind Push Miller; Arthur is to be at Sadie's to-morrow evening. You and I are going there to call. You are to shake hands with Arthur and tell him you 're glad to see him, and be natural and friendly. Afterwards you can ask him to stand up with you." "It seems to be settled," said Checkers; and so it eventuated.
