chr0005 NEW CHRONICLES OF REBECCA BY KATE DOUGLAS WIGGIN FIRST CHRONICLE JACK O LANTERN
chr0006 MISS MIRANDA SAWYER'S OLD FASHIONED GARDEN WAS THE PLEASANTEST SPOT IN RIVERBORO ON A SUNNY JULY MORNING
chr0007 THE RICH COLOR OF THE BRICK HOUSE GLEAMED AND GLOWED THROUGH THE SHADE OF THE ELMS AND MAPLES
chr0008 LUXURIANT HOP VINES CLAMBERED UP THE LIGHTNING RODS AND WATER SPOUTS
chr0009 HANGING THEIR DELICATE CLUSTERS HERE AND THERE IN GRACEFUL PROFUSION
chr0010 WOODBINE TRANSFORMED THE OLD SHED AND TOOL HOUSE TO THINGS OF BEAUTY
chr0011 AND THE FLOWER BEDS THEMSELVES WERE THE PRETTIEST AND MOST FRAGRANT IN ALL THE COUNTRYSIDE
chr0012 A ROW OF DAHLIAS RAN DIRECTLY AROUND THE GARDEN SPOT DAHLIAS SCARLET GOLD AND VARIEGATED
chr0013 IN THE VERY CENTRE WAS A ROUND PLOT WHERE THE UPTURNED FACES OF A THOUSAND PANSIES SMILED AMID THEIR LEAVES
chr0014 AND IN THE FOUR CORNERS WERE TRIANGULAR BLOCKS OF SWEET PHLOX OVER WHICH THE BUTTERFLIES FLUTTERED UNCEASINGLY
chr0015 IN THE SPACES BETWEEN RAN A RIOT OF PORTULACA AND NASTURTIUMS WHILE IN THE MORE REGULAR SHELL BORDERED BEDS
chr0016 GREW SPIREA AND GILLYFLOWERS MIGNONETTE MARIGOLDS AND CLOVE PINKS
chr0017 BACK OF THE BARN AND ENCROACHING ON THE EDGE OF THE HAY FIELD WAS A GROVE OF SWEET CLOVER WHOSE WHITE FEATHERY TIPS FAIRLY BENT UNDER THE ASSAULTS OF THE BEES
chr0018 WHILE BANKS OF AROMATIC MINT AND THYME DRANK IN THE SUNSHINE AND SENT IT OUT AGAIN INTO THE SUMMER AIR
chr0019 WARM AND DELICIOUSLY ODOROUS THE HOLLYHOCKS WERE MISS SAWYER'S PRIDE
chr0020 AND THEY GREW IN A STATELY LINE BENEATH THE FOUR KITCHEN WINDOWS THEIR TAPERING TIPS SET THICKLY WITH GAY SATIN CIRCLETS OF PINK OR LAVENDER OR CRIMSON
chr0021 THEY GROW SOMETHING LIKE STEEPLES THOUGHT LITTLE REBECCA RANDALL WHO WAS WEEDING THE BED
chr0022 AND THE FLAT ROUND FLOWERS ARE LIKE ROSETTES BUT STEEPLES WOULDN'T BE STUDDED WITH ROSETTES
chr0023 SO IF YOU WERE WRITING ABOUT THEM IN A COMPOSITION YOU'D HAVE TO GIVE UP ONE OR THE OTHER
chr0024 AND I THINK I'LL GIVE UP THE STEEPLES GAY LITTLE HOLLYHOCK LIFTING YOUR HEAD
chr0025 SWEETLY ROSETTED OUT FROM YOUR BED IT'S A PITY THE HOLLYHOCK ISN'T REALLY LITTLE INSTEAD OF STEEPLING UP TO THE WINDOW TOP
chr0026 BUT I CAN'T SAY GAY TALL HOLLYHOCK I MIGHT HAVE IT LINES TO A HOLLYHOCK IN MAY
chr0027 FOR THEN IT WOULD BE SMALL BUT OH NO I FORGOT
chr0028 IN MAY IT WOULDN'T BE BLOOMING AND IT'S SO PRETTY TO SAY THAT ITS HEAD IS SWEETLY ROSETTED
chr0029 I WISH THE TEACHER WASN'T AWAY SHE WOULD LIKE SWEETLY ROSETTED AND SHE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR ME RECITE
chr0030 ROLL ON THOU DEEP AND DARK BLUE OCEAN ROLL
chr0031 THAT I LEARNED OUT OF AUNT JANE'S BYRON THE ROLLS COME BOOMING OUT OF IT JUST LIKE THE WAVES AT THE BEACH
chr0032 I COULD MAKE NICE COMPOSITIONS NOW EVERYTHING IS BLOOMING SO AND IT'S SO WARM AND SUNNY AND HAPPY OUTDOORS
chr0033 MISS DEARBORN TOLD ME TO WRITE SOMETHING IN MY THOUGHT BOOK EVERY SINGLE DAY AND I'LL BEGIN THIS VERY NIGHT WHEN I GO TO BED
chr0034 REBECCA ROWENA RANDALL THE LITTLE NIECE OF THE BRICK HOUSE LADIES
chr0035 AND AT PRESENT SOJOURNING THERE FOR PURPOSES OF BOARD LODGING EDUCATION
chr0036 AND INCIDENTALLY SUCH DISCIPLINE AND CHASTENING AS MIGHT ULTIMATELY PRODUCE MORAL EXCELLENCE
chr0037 REBECCA RANDALL HAD A PASSION FOR THE RHYME AND RHYTHM OF POETRY FROM HER EARLIEST CHILDHOOD
chr0038 WORDS HAD ALWAYS BEEN TO HER WHAT DOLLS AND TOYS ARE TO OTHER CHILDREN
chr0039 AND NOW AT TWELVE SHE AMUSED HERSELF WITH PHRASES AND SENTENCES AND IMAGES AS HER SCHOOLMATES PLAYED WITH THE PIECES OF THEIR DISSECTED PUZZLES
chr0040 IF THE HEROINE OF A STORY TOOK A CURSORY GLANCE ABOUT HER APARTMENT
chr0041 REBECCA WOULD SHORTLY ASK HER AUNT JANE TO TAKE A CURSORY GLANCE AT HER OVERSEWING OR HEMMING
chr0042 IF THE VILLAIN AIDED AND ABETTED SOMEONE IN COMMITTING A CRIME
chr0043 SHE WOULD BEFORE LONG REQUEST THE PLEASURE OF AIDING AND ABETTING IN DISHWASHING OR BEDMAKING
chr0044 SOMETIMES SHE USED THE BORROWED PHRASES UNCONSCIOUSLY SOMETIMES SHE BROUGHT THEM INTO THE CONVERSATION WITH AN INTENSE SENSE OF PLEASURE
chr0045 IN THEIR HARMONY OR APPROPRIATENESS FOR A BEAUTIFUL WORD OR SENTENCE HAD THE SAME EFFECT UPON HER IMAGINATION
chr0046 AS A FRAGRANT NOSEGAY A STRAIN OF MUSIC OR A BRILLIANT SUNSET
chr0047 HOW ARE YOU GETTIN' ON REBECCA ROWENA CALLED A PEREMPTORY VOICE FROM WITHIN
chr0048 PRETTY GOOD AUNT MIRANDA ONLY I WISH FLOWERS WOULD EVER COME UP AS THICK AS THIS PIGWEED AND PLANTAIN AND SORREL
chr0049 WHAT MAKES WEEDS BE THICK AND FLOWERS BE THIN
chr0050 I JUST HAPPENED TO BE STOPPING TO THINK A MINUTE WHEN YOU LOOKED OUT
chr0051 YOU THINK CONSIDERABLE MORE THAN YOU WEED I GUESS BY APPEARANCES
chr0052 HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU PEEKED INTO THAT HUMMING BIRD'S NEST
chr0053 WHY DON'T YOU WORK ALL TO ONCE AND PLAY ALL TO ONCE LIKE OTHER FOLKS
chr0054 I DON'T KNOW THE CHILD ANSWERED CONFOUNDED BY THE QUESTION AND STILL MORE BY THE APPARENT LOGIC BACK OF IT
chr0055 I DON'T KNOW AUNT MIRANDA BUT WHEN I'M WORKING OUTDOORS SUCH A SATURDAY MORNING AS THIS THE WHOLE CREATION JUST SCREAMS TO ME TO STOP IT AND COME AND PLAY
chr0056 WELL YOU NEEDN'T GO IF IT DOES RESPONDED HER AUNT SHARPLY
chr0057 IT DON'T SCREAM TO ME WHEN I'M ROLLIN' OUT THESE DOUGHNUTS
chr0058 AND IT WOULDN'T TO YOU IF YOUR MIND WAS ON YOUR DUTY
chr0059 REBECCA'S LITTLE BROWN HANDS FLEW IN AND OUT AMONG THE WEEDS AS SHE THOUGHT REBELLIOUSLY
chr0060 CREATION WOULDN'T SCREAM TO AUNT MIRANDA IT WOULD KNOW SHE WOULDN'T COME
chr0061 SCREAM ON THOU BRIGHT AND GAY CREATION SCREAM TIS NOT MIRANDA THAT WILL HEAR THY CRY
chr0062 OH SUCH FUNNY NICE THINGS COME INTO MY HEAD OUT HERE BY MYSELF
chr0063 I DO WISH I COULD RUN UP AND PUT THEM DOWN IN MY THOUGHT BOOK BEFORE I FORGET THEM
chr0064 BUT AUNT MIRANDA WOULDN'T LIKE ME TO LEAVE OFF WEEDING
chr0065 REBECCA WAS WEEDING THE HOLLYHOCK BED WHEN WONDERFUL THOUGHTS CAME INTO HER HEAD
chr0066 HER AUNT WAS OCCUPIED WITH THE ROLLING PIN AND THE THOUGHTS OF HER MIND WERE COMMON AND THIN
chr0067 THAT WOULDN'T DO BECAUSE IT'S MEAN TO AUNT MIRANDA AND ANYWAY IT ISN'T GOOD
chr0068 I MUST CRAWL UNDER THE SYRINGA SHADE A MINUTE IT'S SO HOT AND ANYBODY HAS TO STOP WORKING ONCE IN A WHILE
chr0069 JUST TO GET THEIR BREATH EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T MAKING POETRY REBECCA WAS WEEDING THE HOLLYHOCK BED
chr0070 WHEN MARVELOUS THOUGHTS CAME INTO HER HEAD MIRANDA WAS WIELDING THE ROLLING PIN
chr0071 AND THOUGHTS AT SUCH TIMES SEEMED TO HER AS A SIN
chr0072 HOW PRETTY THE HOLLYHOCK ROSETTES LOOK FROM DOWN HERE ON THE SWEET SMELLY GROUND
chr0073 LET ME SEE WHAT WOULD GO WITH ROSETTING AIDING AND ABETTING PETTING HEN SETTING FRETTING
chr0074 THERE'S NOTHING VERY NICE BUT I CAN MAKE FRETTING DO CHEERED BY ROWENA'S PETTING
chr0075 THE FLOWERS ARE ROSETTING BUT AUNT MIRANDA'S FRETTING DOTH SOMEWHAT CLOUD THE DAY
chr0076 SUDDENLY THE SOUND OF WAGON WHEELS BROKE THE SILENCE AND THEN A VOICE CALLED OUT
chr0077 A VOICE THAT COULD NOT WAIT UNTIL THE FEET THAT BELONGED TO IT REACHED THE SPOT
chr0078 MISS SAWYER FATHER'S GOT TO DRIVE OVER TO NORTH RIVERBORO ON AN ERRAND
chr0079 AND PLEASE CAN REBECCA GO TOO AS IT'S SATURDAY MORNING AND VACATION BESIDES
chr0080 REBECCA SPRANG OUT FROM UNDER THE SYRINGA BUSH EYES FLASHING WITH DELIGHT AS ONLY REBECCA'S EYES COULD FLASH
chr0081 HER FACE ONE LUMINOUS CIRCLE OF JOYOUS ANTICIPATION SHE CLAPPED HER GRUBBY HANDS AND DANCING UP AND DOWN CRIED
chr0082 MAY I AUNT MIRANDA CAN I AUNT JANE CAN I AUNT MIRANDA JANE
chr0083 I'M MORE THAN HALF THROUGH THE BED IF YOU FINISH YOUR WEEDING TONIGHT BEFORE SUNDOWN I S'POSE YOU CAN GO
chr0084 SO LONG AS MR PERKINS HAS BEEN GOOD ENOUGH TO ASK YOU RESPONDED MISS SAWYER RELUCTANTLY
chr0085 TAKE OFF THAT GINGHAM APRON AND WASH YOUR HANDS CLEAN AT THE PUMP
chr0086 YOU AIN'T BEEN OUT OF BED BUT TWO HOURS AND YOUR HEAD LOOKS AS ROUGH AS IF YOU'D SLEPT IN IT
chr0087 THAT COMES FROM LAYIN' ON THE GROUND SAME AS A CATERPILLAR SMOOTH YOUR HAIR DOWN WITH YOUR HANDS
chr0088 AND PERHAPS EMMA JANE CAN BRAID IT AS YOU GO ALONG THE ROAD
chr0089 RUN UP AND GET YOUR SECOND BEST HAIR RIBBON OUT OF YOUR UPPER DRAWER AND PUT ON YOUR SHADE HAT
chr0090 NO YOU CAN'T WEAR YOUR CORAL CHAIN JEWELRY AIN'T APPROPRIATE IN THE MORNING
chr0091 HOW LONG DO YOU CALATE TO BE GONE EMMA JANE I DON'T KNOW
chr0092 FATHER'S JUST BEEN SENT FOR TO SEE ABOUT A SICK WOMAN OVER TO NORTH RIVERBORO
chr0093 SHE'S GOT TO GO TO THE POOR FARM
chr0094 THIS FRAGMENT OF NEWS SPEEDILY BROUGHT MISS SAWYER AND HER SISTER JANE AS WELL TO THE DOOR WHICH COMMANDED A VIEW OF MR PERKINS AND HIS WAGON
chr0095 MR PERKINS THE FATHER OF REBECCA'S BOSOM FRIEND WAS PRIMARILY A BLACKSMITH
chr0096 AND SECONDARILY A SELECTMAN AND AN OVERSEER OF THE POOR A MAN THEREFORE POSSESSED OF WIDE AND VARIED INFORMATION
chr0097 WHO IS IT THAT'S SICK INQUIRED MIRANDA A WOMAN OVER TO NORTH RIVERBORO WHAT'S THE TROUBLE
chr0098 CAN'T SAY STRANGER YES AND NO SHE'S THAT WILD DAUGHTER OF OLD NATE PERRY THAT USED TO LIVE UP TOWARDS MODERATION
chr0099 YOU REMEMBER SHE RAN AWAY TO WORK IN THE FACTORY AT MILLTOWN AND MARRIED A DO NOTHIN' FELLOW BY THE NAME OF JOHN WINSLOW
chr0100 YES WELL WHERE IS HE WHY DON'T HE TAKE CARE OF HER
chr0101 THEY AIN'T WORKED WELL IN DOUBLE HARNESS THEY'VE BEEN ROVIN' ROUND THE COUNTRY
chr0102 LIVIN' A MONTH HERE AND A MONTH THERE WHEREVER THEY COULD GET WORK AND HOUSE ROOM
chr0103 THEY QUARRELED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND HE LEFT HER
chr0104 SHE AND THE LITTLE BOY KIND OF CAMPED OUT IN AN OLD LOGGIN' CABIN BACK IN THE WOODS AND SHE TOOK IN WASHIN' FOR A SPELL
chr0105 THEN SHE GOT TERRIBLE SICK AND AIN'T EXPECTED TO LIVE WHO'S BEEN NURSING HER INQUIRED MISS JANE
chr0106 LIZY ANN DENNETT THAT LIVES NEAREST NEIGHBOR TO THE CABIN BUT I GUESS SHE'S TIRED OUT BEIN' GOOD SAMARITAN
chr0107 ANYWAYS SHE SENT WORD THIS MORNIN' THAT NOBODY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND JOHN WINSLOW
chr0108 THAT THERE AIN'T NO RELATIONS AND THE TOWN'S GOT TO BE RESPONSIBLE
chr0109 SO I'M GOIN' OVER TO SEE HOW THE LAND LAYS CLIMB IN REBECCA
chr0110 YOU AND EMMY JANE CROWD BACK ON THE CUSHION AND I'LL SET FORRARD THAT'S THE TRICK
chr0111 NOW WE'RE OFF DEAR DEAR SIGHED JANE SAWYER AS THE SISTERS WALKED BACK INTO THE BRICK HOUSE
chr0112 I REMEMBER ONCE SEEING SALLY PERRY AT MEETING SHE WAS A HANDSOME GIRL AND I'M SORRY SHE'S COME TO GRIEF
chr0113 IF SHE'D KEPT ON GOIN' TO MEETIN' AND HADN'T LOOKED AT THE MEN FOLKS SHE MIGHT A BEEN EARNIN' AN HONEST LIVIN' THIS MINUTE SAID MIRANDA
chr0114 MEN FOLKS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF EVERYTHING WRONG IN THIS WORLD SHE CONTINUED
chr0115 UNCONSCIOUSLY REVERSING THE VERDICT OF HISTORY THEN WE OUGHT TO BE A HAPPY AND CONTENTED COMMUNITY HERE IN RIVERBORO REPLIED JANE
chr0116 AS THERE'S SIX WOMEN TO ONE MAN IF IT WAS SIXTEEN TO ONE WE'D BE ALL THE SAFER RESPONDED MIRANDA GRIMLY
chr0117 PUTTING THE DOUGHNUTS IN A BROWN CROCK IN THE CELLAR WAY AND SLAMMING THE DOOR
chr0118 THREE THE TIRED MOTHER WITH THE WEENY BABY ON HER ARM LAY ON A LONG CARPENTER'S BENCH HER EARTHLY JOURNEY OVER
chr0119 AND WHEN REBECCA STOLE IN AND PLACED THE FLOWERY GARLAND ALL ALONG THE EDGE OF THE RUDE BIER
chr0120 DEATH SUDDENLY TOOK ON A MORE GRACIOUS AND BENIGN ASPECT
chr0121 IT WAS ONLY A CHILD'S SYMPATHY AND INTUITION THAT SOFTENED THE RIGORS OF THE SAD MOMENT
chr0122 BUT POOR WILD SAL WINSLOW IN HER FRAME OF DAISIES
chr0123 LOOKED AS IF SHE WERE MISSED A LITTLE BY AN UNFRIENDLY WORLD
chr0124 WHILE THE WEENY BABY WHOSE HEART HAD FALLEN ASLEEP ALMOST AS SOON AS IT HAD LEARNED TO BEAT
chr0125 THE WEENY BABY WITH EMMA JANE'S NOSEGAY OF BUTTERCUPS IN ITS TINY WRINKLED HAND SMILED
chr0126 AS IF IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN LOVED AND LONGED FOR AND MOURNED
chr0127 WE'VE DONE ALL WE CAN NOW WITHOUT A MINISTER WHISPERED REBECCA
chr0128 WE COULD SING GOD IS EVER GOOD OUT OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL SONG BOOK
chr0129 BUT I'M AFRAID SOMEBODY WOULD HEAR US AND THINK WE WERE GAY AND HAPPY
chr0130 WHAT'S THAT A STRANGE SOUND BROKE THE STILLNESS A GURGLE A YAWN A MERRY LITTLE CALL
chr0131 THE TWO GIRLS RAN IN THE DIRECTION FROM WHICH IT CAME AND THERE ON AN OLD COAT
chr0132 IN A CLUMP OF GOLDENROD BUSHES LAY A CHILD JUST WAKING FROM A REFRESHING NAP
chr0133 IT'S THE OTHER BABY THAT LIZY ANN DENNETT TOLD ABOUT CRIED EMMA JANE ISN'T HE BEAUTIFUL
chr0134 EXCLAIMED REBECCA COME STRAIGHT TO ME AND SHE STRETCHED OUT HER ARMS
chr0135 THE CHILD STRUGGLED TO ITS FEET AND TOTTERED WAVERING TOWARD THE WARM WELCOME OF THE VOICE AND EYES
chr0136 REBECCA WAS ALL MOTHER AND HER MATERNAL INSTINCTS HAD BEEN WELL DEVELOPED IN THE LARGE FAMILY IN WHICH SHE WAS NEXT TO THE ELDEST
chr0137 SHE HAD ALWAYS CONFESSED THAT THERE WERE PERHAPS A TRIFLE TOO MANY BABIES AT SUNNYBROOK FARM
chr0138 BUT NEVERTHELESS HAD SHE EVER HEARD IT SHE WOULD HAVE STOOD LOYALLY BY THE JAPANESE PROVERB
chr0139 WHETHER BROUGHT FORTH UPON THE MOUNTAIN OR IN THE FIELD IT MATTERS NOTHING
chr0140 MORE THAN A TREASURE OF ONE THOUSAND RYO A BABY PRECIOUS IS
chr0141 YOU DARLING THING SHE CROONED AS SHE CAUGHT AND LIFTED THE CHILD
chr0142 YOU LOOK JUST LIKE A JACK O LANTERN THE BOY WAS CLAD IN A YELLOW COTTON DRESS VERY FULL AND
chr0143 STIFF HIS HAIR WAS OF SUCH A BRIGHT GOLD AND SO SLEEK AND SHINY THAT HE LOOKED LIKE A
chr0144 FAIR SMOOTH LITTLE PUMPKIN HE HAD WIDE BLUE EYES FULL OF LAUGHTER A NEAT LITTLE VERTICAL NOSE
chr0145 A NEAT LITTLE HORIZONTAL MOUTH WITH HIS FEW NEAT LITTLE TEETH SHOWING VERY PLAINLY
chr0146 AND ON THE WHOLE REBECCA'S FIGURE OF SPEECH WAS NOT SO WIDE OF THE MARK
chr0147 OH EMMA JANE ISN'T HE TOO LOVELY TO GO TO THE POOR FARM
chr0148 IF ONLY WE WERE MARRIED WE COULD KEEP HIM AND SAY NOTHING AND NOBODY WOULD KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
chr0149 NOW THAT THE SIMPSONS HAVE GONE AWAY THERE ISN'T A SINGLE BABY IN RIVERBORO AND ONLY ONE IN EDGEWOOD
chr0150 IT'S A PERFECT SHAME BUT I CAN'T DO ANYTHING
chr0151 YOU REMEMBER AUNT MIRANDA WOULDN'T LET ME HAVE THE SIMPSON BABY WHEN I WANTED TO BORROW HER JUST FOR ONE RAINY SUNDAY
chr0152 MY MOTHER WON'T KEEP HIM SO IT'S NO USE TO ASK HER
chr0153 SHE SAYS MOST EVERY DAY SHE'S GLAD WE'RE GROWN UP AND SHE THANKS THE LORD
chr0154 THERE WASN'T BUT TWO OF US AND MRS PETER MESERVE IS TOO NERVOUS REBECCA WENT ON TAKING THE VILLAGE HOUSES IN TURN
chr0155 AND MRS ROBINSON IS TOO NEAT PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO LIKE ANY BUT THEIR OWN BABIES OBSERVED EMMA JANE
chr0156 WELL I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT REBECCA ANSWERED A BABY'S A BABY I SHOULD THINK
chr0157 WHOSE EVER IT IS MISS DEARBORN IS COMING BACK MONDAY I WONDER IF SHE'D LIKE IT
chr0158 SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO OUT OF SCHOOL AND WE COULD BORROW IT ALL THE TIME
chr0159 I DON'T THINK IT WOULD SEEM VERY GENTEEL FOR A YOUNG LADY LIKE MISS DEARBORN
chr0160 WHO BOARDS ROUND TO TAKE A BABY FROM PLACE TO PLACE OBJECTED EMMA JANE
chr0161 PERHAPS NOT AGREED REBECCA DESPONDENTLY BUT I THINK IF WE HAVEN'T GOT ANY ANY
chr0162 PRIVATE BABIES IN RIVERBORO WE OUGHT TO HAVE ONE FOR THE TOWN AND ALL HAVE A SHARE IN IT
chr0163 WE'VE GOT A TOWN HALL AND A TOWN LAMP POST AND A TOWN WATERING TROUGH
chr0164 THINGS ARE SO UNEVEN ONE HOUSE LIKE MINE AT SUNNYBROOK BRIMFUL OF CHILDREN
chr0165 AND THE VERY NEXT ONE EMPTY THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THEM RIGHT WOULD BE TO LET ALL THE BABIES
chr0166 THAT EVER ARE BELONG TO ALL THE GROWN UP PEOPLE THAT EVER ARE
chr0167 JUST DIVIDE THEM UP YOU KNOW IF THEY'D GO ROUND OH I HAVE A THOUGHT
chr0168 DON'T YOU BELIEVE AUNT SARAH COBB WOULD KEEP HIM
chr0169 SHE CARRIES FLOWERS TO THE GRAVEYARD EVERY LITTLE WHILE AND ONCE SHE TOOK ME WITH HER
chr0170 THERE'S A MARBLE CROSS AND IT SAYS
chr0171 SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF SARAH ELLEN BELOVED CHILD OF SARAH AND JEREMIAH COBB AGED SEVENTEEN MONTHS
chr0172 WHY THAT'S ANOTHER REASON MRS DENNETT SAYS THIS ONE IS SEVENTEEN MONTHS
chr0173 THERE'S FIVE OF US LEFT AT THE FARM WITHOUT ME
chr0174 BUT IF WE WERE ONLY NEARER TO RIVERBORO HOW QUICK MOTHER WOULD LET IN ONE MORE
chr0175 WE MIGHT SEE WHAT FATHER THINKS AND THAT WOULD SETTLE IT SAID EMMA JANE
chr0176 FATHER DOESN'T THINK VERY SUDDEN BUT HE THINKS AWFUL STRONG
chr0177 IF WE DON'T BOTHER HIM AND FIND A PLACE OURSELVES FOR THE BABY
chr0178 PERHAPS HE'LL BE WILLING HE'S COMING NOW I HEAR THE WHEELS
chr0179 LIZY ANN DENNETT VOLUNTEERED TO STAY AND PERFORM THE LAST RITES WITH THE UNDERTAKER AND JACK O LANTERN WITH HIS SLENDER WARDROBE TIED IN A BANDANNA HANDKERCHIEF
chr0180 WAS LIFTED INTO THE WAGON BY THE RELUCTANT MR PERKINS AND JUBILANTLY HELD BY REBECCA IN HER LAP
chr0181 MR PERKINS DROVE OFF AS SPEEDILY AS POSSIBLE
chr0182 BEING HEARTILY SICK OF THE WHOLE AFFAIR AND THINKING WISELY THAT THE LITTLE GIRLS HAD ALREADY SEEN AND HEARD MORE THAN ENOUGH OF THE SEAMY SIDE OF LIFE THAT MORNING
chr0183 DISCUSSION CONCERNING JACK O LANTERN'S FUTURE WAS PRUDENTLY DEFERRED FOR A QUARTER OF AN HOUR
chr0184 AND THEN MR PERKINS WAS MERCILESSLY PELTED WITH ARGUMENTS AGAINST THE CHOICE OF THE POOR FARM AS A PLACE OF RESIDENCE FOR A BABY
chr0185 HIS FATHER IS SURE TO COME BACK SOME TIME MR PERKINS URGED REBECCA
chr0186 HE COULDN'T LEAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL THING FOREVER
chr0187 AND IF EMMA JANE AND I CAN PERSUADE MRS COBB TO KEEP HIM A LITTLE WHILE WOULD YOU CARE
chr0188 NO ON REFLECTION MR PERKINS DID NOT CARE
chr0189 HE MERELY WANTED A QUIET LIFE AND ENOUGH TIME LEFT OVER FROM THE PUBLIC SERVICE TO ATTEND TO HIS BLACKSMITH'S SHOP
chr0190 SO INSTEAD OF GOING HOME OVER THE SAME ROAD BY WHICH THEY CAME
chr0191 HE CROSSED THE BRIDGE INTO EDGEWOOD AND DROPPED THE CHILDREN AT THE LONG LANE WHICH LED TO THE COBB HOUSE
chr0192 MRS COBB AUNT SARAH TO THE WHOLE VILLAGE SAT BY THE WINDOW LOOKING FOR UNCLE JERRY
chr0193 WHO WOULD SOON BE SEEN DRIVING THE NOON STAGE TO THE POST OFFICE OVER THE HILL
chr0194 SHE ALWAYS HAD AN EYE OUT FOR REBECCA TOO
chr0195 FOR EVER SINCE THE CHILD HAD BEEN A PASSENGER ON MR COBB'S STAGECOACH
chr0196 MAKING THE EVENTFUL TRIP FROM HER HOME FARM TO THE BRICK HOUSE IN RIVERBORO IN HIS COMPANY
chr0197 SHE HAD BEEN A CONSTANT VISITOR AND THE JOY OF THE QUIET HOUSEHOLD
chr0198 EMMA JANE TOO WAS A WELL KNOWN FIGURE IN THE LANE BUT THE STRANGE BABY
chr0199 WAS IN THE NATURE OF A SURPRISE
chr0200 A SURPRISE SOMEWHAT MODIFIED BY THE FACT THAT REBECCA WAS A DRAMATIC PERSONAGE AND MORE LIABLE TO APPEAR IN CONJUNCTION WITH CURIOUS OUTRIDERS COMRADES AND RETAINERS
chr0201 THAN THE ORDINARY RIVERBORO CHILD SHE HAD RUN AWAY FROM THE TOO STERN DISCIPLINE OF THE BRICK HOUSE ON ONE OCCASION
chr0202 AND HAD BEEN PERSUADED TO RETURN BY UNCLE JERRY
chr0203 SHE HAD ESCORTED A WANDERING ORGAN GRINDER TO THEIR DOOR AND BEGGED A LODGING FOR HIM ON A RAINY NIGHT
chr0204 SO ON THE WHOLE THERE WAS NOTHING AMAZING ABOUT THE COMING PROCESSION
chr0205 THE LITTLE PARTY TOILED UP TO THE HOSPITABLE DOOR AND MRS COBB CAME OUT TO MEET THEM
chr0206 REBECCA WAS SPOKESMAN EMMA JANE'S TALENT DID NOT LIE IN ELOQUENT SPEECH
chr0207 BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A VALIANT AND A FLUENT CHILD INDEED
chr0208 WHO COULD HAVE USURPED REBECCA'S PRIVILEGES AND TENDENCIES IN THIS DIRECTION
chr0209 LANGUAGE BEING HER NATIVE ELEMENT AND WORDS OF ASSORTED SIZES SPRINGING SPONTANEOUSLY TO HER LIPS
chr0210 AUNT SARAH DEAR SHE SAID PLUMPING JACK O LANTERN DOWN ON THE GRASS AS SHE PULLED HIS DRESS OVER HIS FEET AND SMOOTHED HIS HAIR BECOMINGLY
chr0211 WILL YOU PLEASE NOT SAY A WORD TILL I GET THROUGH AS IT'S VERY IMPORTANT YOU SHOULD KNOW EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU ANSWER YES OR NO
chr0212 THIS IS A BABY NAMED JACKY WINSLOW AND I THINK HE LOOKS LIKE A JACK O LANTERN
chr0213 HIS MOTHER HAS JUST DIED OVER TO NORTH RIVERBORO ALL ALONE EXCEPTING FOR MRS LIZY
chr0214 ANN DENNETT
chr0215 AND THERE WAS ANOTHER LITTLE WEENY BABY THAT DIED WITH HER AND EMMA JANE AND I PUT FLOWERS AROUND THEM AND DID THE BEST WE COULD
chr0216 THE FATHER THAT'S JOHN WINSLOW QUARRELED WITH THE MOTHER
chr0217 THAT WAS SAL PERRY ON THE MODERATION ROAD AND RAN AWAY AND LEFT HER
chr0218 SO HE DOESN'T KNOW HIS WIFE AND THE WEENY BABY ARE DEAD
chr0219 AND THE TOWN HAS GOT TO BURY THEM BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND THE FATHER RIGHT OFF QUICK AND JACKY HAS GOT TO GO TO THE POOR FARM THIS AFTERNOON AND
chr0220 IT SEEMS AN AWFUL SHAME TO TAKE HIM UP TO THAT LONESOME PLACE WITH THOSE OLD PEOPLE THAT CAN'T AMUSE HIM
chr0221 AND IF EMMA JANE AND ALICE ROBINSON AND I TAKE MOST ALL THE CARE OF HIM WE THOUGHT PERHAPS YOU AND UNCLE JERRY WOULD KEEP HIM JUST FOR A LITTLE WHILE
chr0222 YOU'VE GOT A COW AND A TURN UP BEDSTEAD YOU KNOW SHE HURRIED ON INSINUATINGLY AND
chr0223 THERE'S HARDLY ANY PLEASURE AS CHEAP AS MORE BABIES WHERE THERE'S EVER BEEN ANY BEFORE
chr0224 FOR BABY CARRIAGES AND TRUNDLE BEDS AND CRADLES DON'T WEAR OUT
chr0225 AND THERE'S ALWAYS CLOTHES LEFT OVER FROM THE OLD BABY TO BEGIN THE NEW ONE ON
chr0226 OF COURSE WE CAN COLLECT ENOUGH THINGS TO START JACKY SO HE WON'T BE MUCH TROUBLE OR EXPENSE
chr0227 AND ANYWAY HE'S PAST THE MOST TROUBLESOME AGE AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO BE UP NIGHTS WITH HIM AND
chr0228 HE ISN'T AFRAID OF ANYBODY OR ANYTHING AS YOU CAN SEE BY HIS JUST SITTING THERE LAUGHING AND SUCKING HIS THUMB
chr0229 THOUGH HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO BECOME OF HIM
chr0230 AND HE'S JUST SEVENTEEN MONTHS OLD LIKE DEAR LITTLE SARAH ELLEN IN THE GRAVEYARD AND WE THOUGHT WE OUGHT TO GIVE YOU THE REFUSAL OF HIM BEFORE HE GOES TO THE POOR FARM
chr0231 AND WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT
chr0232 BECAUSE IT'S NEAR MY DINNER TIME AND AUNT MIRANDA WILL KEEP ME IN THE WHOLE AFTERNOON IF I'M LATE
chr0233 AND I'VE GOT TO FINISH WEEDING THE HOLLYHOCK BED BEFORE SUNDOWN
