Excerpt: ... across the field to Lucy. Both sisters were at home, in the still tranquillity of their pursuits, Lucy knitting and Caroline binding shoes. Hetty came in upon them as if a wind had blown her. 181 Law me! said Caroline, looking up. Anything happened? No, said Hetty, nothin'' ''s happened. I don''t know as ''t ever will. She sat down and talked recklessly about nothing. A calla bud, yesterday a roll of white, had opened, and the sun lay in its heart. Hetty set her lips grimly, and refused to look at it. Yet, as her voice rang on, the feverish will within her kept telling her what she might say. She might ask for the well-being of the slip set out yesterday, or she might even venture, I should think you''d move your calla out o'' the sun. Won''t it wilt the bloom? Then Lucy might tell Caroline to snip off the bloom and give it to her. But no one spoke of plants. Her breath quickened chokingly, and her heart swelled and made her sick. Suddenly she rose and threw her shawl about her in wild haste. I must go, she trembled; but at the door Lucy stayed her. Hetty, she called. Her voice faltered, and her eyes looked soft under wistful brows. Hetty! Hetty was waiting, in a tremor of suspense. Well, she answered, her voice beating upon the word. What is it? Still Lucy spoke with diffidence, as she always did when she touched upon her faith. 182 I was only thinkin'' Alice Brown, Books, History, Country Neighbors Books>History The book has no illustrations or index.
