"Gone, eh!" said the little girl. "Funny, she didn't say good bye; she 'most always did if she was just goin' over to Auntie's for tea, and now she's been away three days. Say, it's awful dry, ain't it? Ain't there no water, nor nothing to eat?" GONE EH SAID THE LITTLE GIRL FUNNY SHE DIDN'T SAY GOOD BYE SHE MOST ALWAYS DID IF SHE WAS JUST GOING OVER TO AUNTY'S FOR TEA AND NOW SHE'S BEEN AWAY THREE DAYS SAY IT'S AWFUL DRY AIN'T IT AIN'T THERE NO WATER NOR NOTHING TO EAT

Where’s mother?” “Mother’s gone. I guess you’ll see her before long.” EAVY FOR HIS STRENGTH FOR IN LOWERING IT IT CAME DOWN ON THE GROUND WITH SOME LITTLE VIOLENCE INSTANTLY THERE BROKE FROM THE GRAY PARCEL A LITTLE MOANING CRY AND FROM IT THERE PROTRUDED A SMALL SCARED FACE WITH VERY BRIGHT BROWN EYES AND TWO LITTLE SPECKLED DIMPLED FISTS YOU'VE HEARD ME SAID A CHILDISH VOICE REPROACHFULLY HAVE I THOUGH THE MAN ANSWERED PENITENTLY I DIDN'T GO FOR TO DO IT AS HE SPOKE HE UNWRAPPED THE GRAY SHAWL AND EXTRICATED A PRETTY LITTLE GIRL OF ABOUT FIVE YEARS OF AGE WHOSE DAINTY SHOES AND SMART PINK FROCK WITH ITS LITTLE LINEN APRON ALL BESPOKE A MOTHER'S CARE THE CHILD WAS PALE AND WAN BUT HER HEALTHY ARMS AND LEGS SHOWED THAT SHE HAD SUFFERED LESS THAN HER COMPANION HOW IS IT NOW HE ASKED ANXIOUSLY FOR SHE WAS STILL RUBBING THE TOWSY GOLDEN CURLS WHICH COVERED THE BACK OF HER HEAD KISS IT AND MAKE IT WELL SHE SAID WITH PERFECT GRAVITY SHOVING THE INJURED PART UP TO HIM THAT'S WHAT MOTHER USED TO DO WHERE'S MOTHER MOTHER'S GONE I GUESS YOU'LL SEE HER BEFORE LONG
