Im sorry for that, said Emily, seriously, because its verystriking. But what did you do when you were thirsty, I said.
I dont know where he got the idea but itsounds attractive to me.
If Aunt Laura doesnt I shall besorry because when I have an intresting thought I like to tell it.
Teddy says she neverlikes to have him go to school but she is glad that he hates MissBrownell. What Elizabeth doesnt know will never hurther. Aunt Laura is giving me five cents a week for washing the dishes.
Stones were letinto the side of the hill for steps up to the front door. Emily liked being alone very well at first. Worn out, Emily fell asleep as soon as she was in bed; but an hourlater she awakened.
Ilse had already discovered what a fertile imagination Emily had. All right, I wont, said Emily sharply, mortified at the failureof her well-meant offer. He had been absorbed all through July trying to save TeddyKents life up at the Tansy Patch.
Iwish he DID like me because he can be awful nice when he likes anyone.
Not even whilethe thunderstorm was going on would relentless Elizabeth allow thatdoor to be opened.
The roof is flat and we can get out on itthrough a door in the garret ceiling. Emily felt that she had got off better than she deserved.
And sometimes Ido them because I want to have some exciting things to tell mygrandchildren. Aunt Elizabethsaid EMILY in an awful tone. I think I feel a pain in my stomach nowso I guess that the end draws ni.
Dr Burnley says he is well enough togo though his mother doesnt like the idea.
But toomany people heard us and Aunt Elizabeth was very angry. She grasped her candle and hurried up thestairs to the spare-room. Mrs Kent gave them no black looks, though her reception was ratherdistant.
Ilike misterious people but not too close. Heres your parlour and I hope youll be satisfiednow, she said gaily. Lofty John dropped his plane, threw up his hands and looked atEmily with a horrified face.
This was unbearable to a girl who NEVER said things about herfriends or once-friends. Aunt Laura seemedcuriously upset about something. Do you know what Im going to be when I grow up? But if you knew Fathers God youd believe in HIM. MrsAnderson said Sometimes I have thought he would take Laura. Who knew what unearthly thingsEmily might be thinking about her any time she took the notion to? Dot Payne never flies into tempers, but would you like HERfor a chum?
Thenshe laughed and gave Emily a volcanic hug.
Aunt Laura, Ilse Burnley and I are going to bechums. She wandered rather lonesomely into his workshop one Septemberevening at twilight.
Emily being safely out of sight, Elizabeth permitted herself asomewhat grim smile.
This was far more aggravating than speech and Emily knew it.
Yesterday and to-day were twoentirely different things in Ilses philosophy.
