Martha quickened her steps, and halting at the gate-posts, paused for a moment with her eyes up the road. It was yet an hour of the time of her bairn's arrival by the country stage, but her impatience was such that she could not enter the path without this backward glance.
"She might, if she had any flesh on her bones," said she. "Well, she don't look ragged, that's a fact," said her father.
