Durward, who was now travelling, was not going to college until the next fall and at Christmas he was coming to the country with his cousin. "Oh, I'm so glad," said Anna. "We'll have a time, for ma'll invite them here, of course. Cad thinks a heap of Durward, and I want so bad to see him. Don't you?"
"Then he'll mix in the fight and get hit and go home bawling, same as he did when we had the snow fort. Then his ma'll go around to our mas and tell 'em what rough games we play and how it's a wonder somebody hasn't lost an eye. We'll all get penny lectures and the fun'll be spoiled for a week. Oh, yes, let him fight!" John broke the gloomy silence which followed.
"I believe I shall 'ave the palpitations and faint away, if I stop 'ere." Polly was genuinely concerned. "I'll run and call mother back." "No, I tell you what: let's 'ide!" cried Tilly, recovering. Jinny wavered. "But will they find us?" "Duffer! Of course. Ma'll give 'em the 'int. Come on!"
"I might a'knowed suthin' like that would happen," complained Bunker. "Now her ma'll blame me!" Aunt Lu saw what had happened, and, before any one else could reach Sue, she had picked up the little girl, in whose eyes were tears all ready to fall. And with her handkerchief Aunt Lu wiped the tears away.
And your ma'll have to take in boarders, and do washin' like as not, and think of poor Pishy prob'ly she'll have to teach school or clerk in a store poor Pish she'll be lucky now if she can marry some common scrub American out in them hills like as not one of them shoe-clerks in the Boston Cash Store at Montana City!
"And stuck in your needle, and folded it up, and put it in the drawer, and put away your thimble, and shet the drawer, and all the rest on't?" said the Captain. "Yes, father," said Sally, gleefully, "I've done everything I could think of." "'Cause you know your ma'll be arter ye, if you don't leave everything straight."
"She wants to know if ye'll be good enough to come an' see her as soon as ye kin, an' bring yer fiddle with ye." "How is Jean?" Douglas asked. Owing to the excitement of the afternoon and night he had forgotten all about the sick woman. "Oh, I guess she's jist the same," Empty replied as he scratched the back of his head. "But ma'll tell ye 'bout her better'n I kin. Will ye come?"
Your ma'll 'ave forgotten all about it by goin'-out time or she'll pertend she 'as to save 'erself trouble. Come and 'elp us wi' the beds." Beth rose slowly from the piano-stool, and followed Harriet upstairs to the bedroom at the back of the house. She was at once attracted to the open window by an uproar of voices "the voices of children in happy play."
Toni gave her a plate of trifle, and brushed back the tangled curls from the hot little forehead. "Now eat that up and then I must run away. They're waiting for me, you know, so when you've finished you must give me a kiss and go straight to sleep." "Yes, Toni." Lu lay obediently down, soothed by the girl's kind tone. "I'll go to sleep all right if ... if Ma'll come up and say good-night!"
Ma'll get a good rest, too, while she ain't talkin', though it ain't for me to say she's needed it." "So," she continued, clearing her throat, "you go right on ahead with your marrying." Rosemary bent and kissed the hollow, withered cheek. "I will," she said. "Oh, dear Aunt Matilda! I wish you hadn't missed it all!" The older woman's steel blue eyes softened, then filled.
