On one side was a built-in couch coveredwith dried
pine boughs.
Indeed, I hope you do, replied Lucy soberly. Of all
adventures possible to her, this one seemed themost incredible! Well, indeed you are
persevering, if not some other things, shereplied, really annoyed. Think what a beat
Id have on them if I could take you.
But Idhate to have you think same as Sadie an those
girls.
Above these toweredthe stately rugged-barked
monarchs of the forest. Nor can a man be honest asking a girl whom he does not love.
Anyou dont want to go to a dance with red eyes an nose. But Lucy soon discovered
that her strength was almost spent. Sometime later he again presented himself at her
door. Edd, its not very nice of you to want me just to revenge yourself onSadie,
rejoined Lucy severely.
Shore if youre evergoin to our dances why not this
one, an let me be the first to takeyou? Reckon I wouldnt be in Sam Johnsons boots
for alot. Shore if youre evergoin to our dances why not this one, an let me be the
first to takeyou? She stared at this young backwoodsman, whose bronzed face had
paledslightly. Instead of this he had turned out to be something approaching
agentleman. Lucy had forced upon her theundoubted fact that she was the cause of
this. She did not see how she could have avoided such a situation, yetregret haunted
her. Overcome by her sensations,she burst into tears.
One Saturday Lucy sat meditating in the tent that
had long been herabode.
Thatwould be a humiliation she must not
suffer.
Notwithstanding the fact that she was startled,
Lucy burst into mirth. Wal, why dont you teach me same as you do Liz and
Lize?
Not your promise, but your possibility, whispered
Mr. Then he put a bighand on the pommel of her saddle and looked up at her. Think
what a beat Id have on them if I could take you. Jenks, Im surely afraid that I
wanted to, sheconfessed. The indignity had been perpetrated and she could notforget
it. Lucy was informed that the music had arrived.
Well, Id hardly have known you, said the school
teacher with a smileand cordial greeting. Edds all het up over this dance, observed
Mrs.
She walked on the porch, listening to the murmur of
the stream and thebarking of the squirrels. Wal, I reckon, as Edd would say,
rejoined the teacher, amused atLucys consternation. Well, Id hardly have known you,
said the school teacher with a smileand cordial greeting. It was a terrible moment,
in which her headreeled.
Then he put a bighand on the pommel of her saddle
and looked up at her. Manifestly he and Edd werefriends, which fact made the clash
devoid of rancour.
