Roscoe, don't you let old Jed or anybody DRIVE you out of Denboro, but, if you WANT to go if you think you'd ought to go, to earn money or anything, don't you worry about leavin' Comfort. I'll look out for her as well as if she was my own. Remember that." I laid my hand on hers. "Thank you," I said, earnestly. "Dorinda, you are a good woman."
It was addressed to me in a man's handwriting, not that of "Big Jim" Colton. I opened the envelope and read: Roscoe Paine. Sir: The enclosed is in payment for your work. No receipt is necessary. Yours truly, The "enclosed" was a five-dollar bill. I stood staring at the note. Then I began to laugh. "What's the joke?" asked Dorinda, who had not taken her eyes from my face.
Of course, I did not know who made the various entries, and so I decided, entirely on the merits of the cake itself. And considering everything, the method, the execution and the delicacy of flavours, I adjudge the best cake submitted in this contest to be the one that represents the joint work of Miss Dorothy Rose and Miss Dorinda Fayre.
"There!" he exclaimed, "I knew there was somethin' I forgot. I'll do it soon's ever I get home." "When you get home," observed Dorinda, firmly, "you'll wash that henhouse window." "Now, Dorinda, if that ain't just like you! Don't you hear Roscoe askin' me about that gas? I've had that gas in my head ever since yesterday." "Um-hm," wearily.
The little Teresa sighed for a land where there was no A B C, and Dorinda for one where toys grew on trees, and no hard-hearted shopkeeper demanded money before they were plucked. Herbert wished he lived in a place where there were plenty of gay butterflies, and that he had nothing to do but to hunt them. Thus each child had something to wish for, and something to be discontented about.
I have read that it is, somewhere in one of Barrie's yarns, I think. I had never been in Scotland, or much of anywhere else, except the city I was born in, and my college town, and Boston and Cape Cod. "Um-hm" meant yes on the Cape, too, except when Dorinda said it; then it might mean almost anything. When Mother asked her to lower the window shade in the bed-room she said "Um-hm" and lowered it.
"Cyrilla, that idea of yours was a really truly inspiration," said Carol solemnly. "I believe it was," said Cyrilla, thinking of Miss Marshall. Dorinda's Desperate Deed Dorinda had been only ten when her Aunt Mary on the Carter side had written to Mrs. Mrs.
She has been such a good, patient little girl too, and her heart is set on music lessons." "Well, she must have them then after we get Leicester's year at the academy for him. That's two. The third is a new " "The roof must be shingled this fall," said Mrs. "It really must, Dorinda. It is no better than a sieve. We are nearly drowned every time it rains.
Dorinda, who happened to be in good humor, put up a lunch for me and, at seven o'clock, with my rod and landing net in their cases, strapped, with my fishing boots and coffee pot, to my back, and my bait pail in one hand and lunch basket in the other, I started on my tramp.
"Edelwald should be here to give the proper grace to this event," added Lady Dorinda. "I thought of him," said Marie. "Edelwald has so much the nature of a troubadour." "The studies which adorn a man were well thought of when I was at court," said Lady Dorinda. "Edelwald is really thrown away upon this wilderness."
