Rosenwould have been indignant, and that would have
made Victoria cross. But they write her she has to bring more money tohelp her out;
three hundred dollars.
When they are old,they will come closer and closer
to Grandma Harris.
Grandma Harris, she exclaimed, Iwill just ask
Mr.
But I thought if there was any left you could get
at, wecould let Vickie have it.
The twins and Ronald and Hughie wereimportant.
Templeton herself went out andlooked into the shed, and she was sorry, too. Harris
put her hands on the arms of thechair in preparation to rise. I had a little giddy
spell, and Ithought Id lay still.
The years between them and her, it seemed to Mrs.
Harris sighed and closed her eyes happily.
He loosened them and letthem hang down over the
bright afternoon sunlight. Except that I cant go to college after all.
The next time you get up and go off anywhere, you
come and tell mebeforehand, do you understand?
Templeton came in with a tray of tumblers and the
glasspitcher all frosted over.
He loosened them and letthem hang down over the
bright afternoon sunlight. It seemed to him his grandmother looked pretty
sick.
It was awkward just now, too, when he was so
shortof money. Harris wasasleep, with one of the twins on guard, and he held up a
warningfinger.
When Mandy was taking the other breakfast into the
dining-room, Mrs.
At about four oclock Adelbert came home, hot and
sweaty fromraking. Mandy found her unconscious in the morning.
Theres such a thing as overdoing it, Mrs. You set
right down, Miz Harris, an let me git you some whisky. He put down his book, came
over, and took Vickies hand.
How easy it was for these foreignersto say what
they felt!
You git me somewhisky in hot water, and pour it on
a piece of toast.
Harris scarcely noticed how her strength was
failing, becauseshe had so much on her mind. Dont you say nothin, Mandy, she warned
the girl.
Rosen tonight, and ifVickie goes to him after I am
off his hands, Im sure he will helpher. Alberts throat choked up, he rubbed the
tears away with his fist.
Templeton, butopportunities for seeing him alone
were not frequent.
Vickie had spenta great many mornings at their
camp. She got through the day, and that evening, thankgoodness, Mr.
And now she felt certainthat she was going to die
tonight, without troubling anybody.
Templeton told Uncle Remus stories to keep up
thefamily morale and make the giggly twins laugh.
Later on they came upon the bones of a new kind
ofelephant, scarcely larger than a pig.
