And oh,there was a glad sense of relief when she heard thenoise of the carriage growing fainter and fainterdown the long road!
- “I d-d-don’t know, Father.”
- “You d-d-don’t know? If you stutter like thatMother will have to take you to the doctor.”
- “Well, Kezia, hurry up and pull off these bootsand take them outside. Have you been a goodgirl today?”
- In the evening when he came home she stoodnear the staircase and heard his loud voice in thehall. “Bring my tea into the drawing-room... Hasn’tthe paper come yet? Mother, go and see if my paper’sout there — and bring me my slippers.”
- “What’s the matter? What are you looking sowretched about?
