"And it will be lonely for Widow Willis and the girls to see every one else here--we must have them; and of course Deams--Amanda is always such splendid help; and the Widow Fall is so perfectly lovely, we want her for decorative purposes; and we could scarcely leave out Shaws; they always have all of us everything they do; and Dr.Fenner of course; and we'll want Flo and Agnes Kuntz to wait on table, so their folks might as well come too----" So she went on taking up each family we knew, and telling what they had done for us, or what we had done for them; and she found some good reason for inviting them, and pretty soon father settled back in his chair and never took his eyes from Sally's shining head as she bent over the slate, and then he began pulling his lower lip, like when it won't behave, and his eyes danced exactly as I've seen Leon's.

I never had noticed that before.
Sally went straight on and at last she came to Freshetts.

"I am going to have all of them, too," she said.

"The children are good children, and it will help them along to see how things are done when they are right; and I don't care what any one says, I LIKE Mrs.Freshett.

I'll ask her to help work, and that will keep her from talking, and give the other women a chance to see that she's clean, and human, and would be a good neighbour if they'd be friendly.
