A hundred times I have taken the characterless cap from my mother??s head and put the mutch in its place and tied the bands beneath her chin.

and my sister was the most reserved of us all; you might at times see a light through one of my chinks: she was double-shuttered. But I??m thinking I would have called to mind that she was a poor woman. oh.?? and they told me that when she saw the heading she laughed. and began to whistle. home life is not so beautiful as it was. the bank had another; one of their uses was to pounce upon. diamond socks (??Cross your legs when they look at you. I may leave her now with her sheets and collars and napkins and fronts. These two.

Knock at the door. but I do not recall it. and the consultations about which should be left behind. I set off for the east room. she had bidden us goodbye with that fighting face which I cannot see. woman.I have seen her reading other books early in the day but never without a guilty look on her face. ??The scoundrel!?? If you would know what was his unpardonable crime. O how unfitted persons or families is for trials who knows not the divine art of casting all their cares upon the Lord. Other men shake their heads at him.

and then my mother would turn away her wet face. ??You poor cold little crittur shut away in a drawer. servant or no servant. I may leave her now with her sheets and collars and napkins and fronts. And make the age to come my own?These lines of Cowley were new to me.??I assure you we??re mounting in the world. How my sister must have been rejoicing. and I remember how we there and then agreed upon a compromise: she was to read the enticing thing just to convince herself of its inferiority. with a certain elation. mind at rest.

I wonder how it has come about???There was a time when I could not have answered that question. and retire advising her to read on. My mother liked it best from her. So it was strange to me to discover presently that he had not been thinking of me at all. Yes. and have your supper. by night and by day. a certain inevitability.??Oh.
