CHAPTER VI
“I HAD A LITTLE HUSBAND NO BIGGER THAN MY THUMB”
Оглавление“Aunt Nance, what’s the use you ain’t got no husband an’ baby children?” Mildred always said use instead of reason.
“Lots of reasons!” answered Nance, smiling at her little companion. Mildred had moved herself and all her belongings into the guest-chamber. Her mother had at first objected, but when she found it made Nance happy to have the child with her, she gave her consent.
“Ain’t no husbands come along wantin’ you?”
“That is one of the reasons.”
“I’m going to make Dodo marry you when he gets some teeth.”
“Thank you, darling! Dodo would make a dear little husband.”
“Dodo wouldn’t never say nothin’ mean to you. He’s got more disposition than any baby in the family.”
“I am sure he wouldn’t,” said Nance, trying to count the stitches as she neatly turned the heel of the grey sock she was knitting. Nance was always knitting in those days.
