She never made no fuss when Josh was awake, but if he shet his eyes, she'd kind o' hang over the bed an' smooth the clo'es as if they was kittens, an' once I ketched her huggin' up the sleeve of his old barn coat that hung outside the door. If ever a woman made a fool of herself over a man that wa'n't wuth it, 'twas Lyddy Ann Marden!
You'll have to tell him the reason, and then 'I'll tell him everything. I'll bear it. Can I help it, Lyddy? Am I happy? 'But you haven't thought, Thyrza. It means that Gilbert will have to go on with his work at the factory. 'Why? His mother will go and live with him at the library. Her voice sank. She began to understand. 'Do you suppose he can take that place from Mr.
Suppose you didn't know me, Lyddy, should you think I was a lady? 'Of course I should, her sister answered, though in a way which showed that she did not care to dwell on the subject. Still, Thyrza laughed with pleasure. 'And do you think I love my sister a bit the less? 'Of course I don't. Lydia was not quite at her ease. 'I'm not at all sure of that.
Do you think I could say a cruel word, tell me whatever you might? Do you think I shan't love you only the better, the more unhappy you are? Perhaps I half know what it is, perhaps Thyrza started and gazed with the same wildness as when she first came in. 'You know? What do you know? Tell me at once, Lyddy!
'I shan't tell you anything at all till you've had a glass of milk. Let me take your things off. You're going to stay with me to-night, you know. Sit still, and let me take them off.

It was said so gravely that Lydia, having finished her task, came round before the chair and looked in her sister's face. 'What? 'I think I should die if I hadn't someone to love me. 'I don't think you'll ever want that, Thyrza.
Give him a guinea, and no more. Well, Miss Lyddy, I reckon, believed what he told her, and she's not overfond o' parting with the money herself she's not a bad woman at bottom, but she's been brought up under his thumb; so she began fidgeting with her purse, and turned as red as her ribbon.
