Why don't you stay at home, and enjoy yourself?" "I'm not going to any horrid school," said Emily. "You can't make me believe that you would rather be at school than at home, doing as you please, and having a good time with Rose and Menie here." Emily laughed. "I would like that; but I like going back to school too."
When they were warmed and fed, they pulled off their little fur suits, crawled into the piles of warm skins on the sleeping bench, and in two minutes were sound asleep. It is very hard to tell what day it is, or what hour in the day, in a place where the days and nights are all mixed up, and where there are no clocks. Menie and Monnie had never seen a clock in their whole lives.
They began to tell him that they wanted to go fishing right away before the sun went down but their mouths were so full they couldn't get the words out! "Mm-m-m-m," Menie began, chewing with all his might! Then Monnie did a shocking thing! She swallowed her meat whole, she was in such hurry! It made a great lump going down her throat! It almost choked her.
Every one had a piece of raw blubber to eat at once, and the very first piece went to Menie. While they were eating it, Koko came back. He had gone so far up the shore hunting little auks that he hadn't seen a thing that had happened. And he hadn't killed any little auks either. Koko felt that things were very unequally divided in this world.
"Sh, sh," she said, and put her hand over his mouth. At least she thought she did, but she made a mistake in the dark and put her hand over Menie's mouth instead! Menie tried to say, "I never said a word," but he could only make queer sounds, because Koko's mother's hand was tight on his mouth.
Ten chances but you plead your own cause, man, for I may be brought up by a sabre, or a bow-string, before I make my pack up; then your road to Menie will be free and open, and, as you will be possessed of the situation of comforter ex officio, you may take her 'with the tear in her ee, as old saws advise." "Mr.
From this good cheer Middlemas was doomed to retire to the homely evening meal of his master, where not all the simple beauties of Menie were able to overcome his disgust at the coarseness of the provisions, or his unwillingness to answer questions concerning the diseases of the wretched peasants who were subjected to his inspection.
It came into Graeme's mind as she sat there in the quiet room, that there might be other and sadder changes before them, than even the change that Janet's words had implied. "My dear," said the minister, at last, "has Mrs Nasmyth been speaking to you?" "About " Menie, she would have asked, but her tongue refused to utter the word.
They had loaded the bear's skin on Menie's sled. "It's a woman's work to pull the meat home. We men just do the hunting and fishing," Menie said to Koko. They had heard the men say that. "Yes, we found the bear," Koko answered. "Monnie can pull the skin home." And though Monnie had found the bear just as much as they had, she didn't say a word.
The base conduct of that Menie Adams, as we some years after heard, did not go long unvisited by the displeasure of Heaven, for, some scent of her guilt taking wind, the whole town, in a sense, grew wud against her, and she was mobbet, and the wells pumped upon her by the enraged multitude; and she never recovered from the handling that she therein suffered.
