and folks can look thinks that they don't
say.
We sat down to supper as glum as pump
handles; there were some fritters--l never
knew anybody beat your mother at ilttefs
smoking hot oil the stove, and some maple
molasses IN one OF the Dest emmy teacup
knew well enough 1t was just on purpose iof
my last night, but never had woru 10 say,
and Nancy crumped up tne cniiufeh prcao
with JERK. her cheeks oiahe grow any
winter; 1t seemed as II tney Wouio p'a]c

she was Mustered up she used TO go req al
over, something hkea piny, which diaht
seem to have just the same effect.
That supper was very dreary sort OF sup
per,with the baby crying, and Nancy getting
up between the mouthfuls to walk up ana

they made hera great deal OF pother'squirm-
ing off her lap and running round barefoot.
Sometimes used to hold them and tax 10
them and help her bit, when felt good
natured, but just sat and smoked and let
them alone. was oil worked up about the
lamp-wick, and l thought, you sec, il she
hadn't had any feelings for me there was
no need of my having any for her,-if she
had cut the wick, Id have taken the babies
she hadn't cut the Wick, and wouldn't take
the babies; she might see it If she wanted
badly treated, and meant to show it.
II is strange. johnny, it really does seem
to me ycry strange, how easy it is in this
world to be always taking care of our rights
I've thought great deal about 1t since I've
been growing old and there seems TO me a
good many things we'd better look after fust
But you see hadn't found that out in '4l, i,
and so sat in the corner, and felt very much
abused. / can't say but what Nancy had
, pretty much the same idea for when the
young ones were all in bed at last, she took
her knitting and sat down the other side of
the fire, sort Of turning her head round and
looking up at the ceiling, as she were trying
her best to forget was there. That was q
way she had when I was counting, and we
went along to huskings together, with the
moon shining round.
