The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z Well, m'm," said Nanna, "if master did forget, he knew what he was about, at the time, anyhow. The Helpmate You can't think how odd it seems to find a lot of grown-up young ladies and gentlemen instead of the jolly little kids who were in the nursery with Nanna nine years ago. What Timmy Did And when he entered his home there was the baby girl, and Nanna out of her mind with fever and like to die, and not able to say a word this way or that. Prisoners of Conscience Nanna was already in bed and asleep, but she started up as Esmay entered, like a dog that has been listening in its dreams for its master's footsteps. The Doomsman Nanna shared with her this love of colour, going in as she did for everything that increased true cheeriness. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z And at six o'clock that morning she had given her little dismal cry: "Oh, Nanna, Nanna, my beast of a spine is going to bother me to-day, and it's Anne's birthday!" The Helpmate Nanna was still busy in the kitchen, so I was by myself. What Timmy Did Let me tell you, Nanna’s life lies in it. Prisoners of Conscience "Nanna must go with me," repeated the girl, hurriedly. The Doomsman Both Phebe and Nanna did their best to keep up a bright conversation. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z "And what else," said Nanna severely, "do you expect, Miss Edith?" The Helpmate Since she had had the horrid accident which had laid her up, Timmy had not gone to see his old Nanna nearly as often as he ought to have done. What Timmy Did He resolved to remain with Barbara Traill, and follow his occupation of fishing, and do all that he could to make his cousin Nanna happy. Prisoners of Conscience It seems so, and my sister Nanna as well. The Doomsman Prayer over, Nanna set about preparing tea, and Jack, still disconsolate, sat by the fire. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z Nanna thought she knew why Miss Edie wanted the door shut. The Helpmate Nanna did not desire his attendance before breakfast for she would not have considered herself fit to be seen by him till she herself was neat and tidy. What Timmy Did He had not fallen in love with Nanna. Prisoners of Conscience There is the certainty of a smile or even a kiss from the black-browed Nanna to recompense my good-nature, and a possible secret hanging in the wind. The Doomsman All lonely and forlorn," calmly continued Nanna, unheeding the interruption; "then Jones comes along, sore wounded in the battle, and now there's this poor young thing taken in with a broken wing. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z It was Nanna who told him how Peggy died, and all the things he had to know. The Helpmate At once Nanna divined that he had something on his mind about which he was longing, yet half afraid, to speak to her. What Timmy Did Matilda’s utter refusal of his kin or kindness threw him more exclusively upon Nanna and her child. Prisoners of Conscience And of course Nanna yielded, for she saw that her darling's heart was set upon this thing. The Doomsman Nanna thought the matter had not been made a subject of united prayer enough. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z Nanna had evidently been waiting for the sound of his latchkey. The Helpmate Taking Nanna's Bible off the round table, he went into his own bedroom and there laboriously copied out, with the help of a very blunt pencil, the text where the pin had rested in church. What Timmy Did Then Nanna intoned softly the strangest, wildest little tune. Prisoners of Conscience "He must be within," said Nanna, leading the way. The Doomsman "Well, don't act like a magpie, if you can help it, there's a dear," and Nanna patted the girl's cheek lovingly. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z Nanna grasped the hands held out to her, hanging her head on one side, and smiling her tremorous, bashful smile. The Helpmate Then he took the Bible into Nanna's room. What Timmy Did But for all that, I will hear it from you, Nanna, and you only, for it concerns us only. Prisoners of Conscience As they passed a street corner that commanded a view of the Palace Road, Nanna caught Esmay by the arm and bade her look. The Doomsman Both Nanna and Bessie noticed her excitement, but said nothing, as they were both quite sure they would hear all about it in due course. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z Keeping his house was nothing; Nanna had always kept it well. The Helpmate Somehow the sight of Nanna, sitting up there in her big armchair, made him feel extremely guilty, and he was relieved when she said mildly: "You run along and give it to her, then." What Timmy Did You have given me something to think of that is better than wooing and wedding, Nanna. Prisoners of Conscience "It's just hopeless, Nanna, to stay on here in this city of the dead." The Doomsman "God bless you, my dear one," said Nanna, her heart full of rejoicing. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z "Look at Nanna," he whispered, to distract her attention. The Helpmate Late that afternoon he had gratified Nanna by sharing her high tea, and so he was not expected in the dining-room. What Timmy Did David Borson was stirred to the very seat of life by the things Nanna had told him. Prisoners of Conscience "It is her sister Nanna," he muttered to himself, and knew that he lied in saying it. The Doomsman The journey home was accomplished in the same manner as the outward had been, and all four had to tell Nanna that they had really had a very enjoyable time. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z The three, as if humouring a child in its play, feigned a profound ignorance of what Nanna had in hand. The Helpmate And then, when Nanna's cup of tea was at last ready, together with some nice thin bread and butter cut, he asked, "Can't I carry the tray up for you?" What Timmy Did “God feeds the gulls and the ravens, and he will not starve Nanna and Vala.” Prisoners of Conscience Nanna had never been able to forget that her father's second wife had been of the blood of the despised House People. The Doomsman Look here, dearie," Nanna said, when she could trust herself to speak with calmness, "I say, and say it with all deliberateness, it was wicked to shut that door on you like that. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z The blessings of them all were upon Nanna as she came in with the tea-tray. The Helpmate "Now you lead the way up, and I'll hand you over the tray at Nanna's door." What Timmy Did To Nanna they were like a voice from heaven. Prisoners of Conscience And so it was upon the viands that Nanna's attention was immediately concentrated. The Doomsman I really think," remarked Nanna, "this house ought to be called a hospital for sick souls. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z It was evident that Nanna was preparing some horrid and tremendous rite. The Helpmate Just for a moment she looked very much taken aback, then she smiled, "I've come down to make a cup of tea for Nanna." What Timmy Did Stay with me to-day, Nanna, and we will talk this matter out.” Prisoners of Conscience No use, Nanna, we must take things as we find them. The Doomsman "There, dear heart!" exclaimed Nanna, "there's the answer straightway." The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z Nanna, listening outside the door, attributed their silence to an appreciation too profound for utterance. The Helpmate Very softly he crept past Nanna's door, and as he started walking down the back staircase, he heard voices. What Timmy Did “She is sleeping,” he said, “and there is something to tell you, Nanna.” Prisoners of Conscience "Not a bit of it," returned Nanna, sitting bolt upright and staring hard at the ceiling. The Doomsman "Well!" exclaimed Nanna, laughing, "if the late lamented Mrs. Caudle had an eye for a bloater, my Phebe certainly has an eye for duties!" The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z "Do you think," he said, "that Nanna will dig it up again?" The Helpmate But somehow Nanna thought it best not to put this question, for a lie, shocking on any day, is more shocking than usual, or so she thought, if uttered on a Sunday. What Timmy Did Then Nanna’s house was marked and isolated, and she sat down to watch her dying child. Prisoners of Conscience Why, Nanna, as though I could have dreamed of anything else! The Doomsman Nanna often wondered at the quaint little ways in which he showed himself his mother's protector, but never knew the heart-sorrow which had given birth to them. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z When Nanna appeared Edith was eating her crumbs ostentatiously, as if unwilling to leave the last of a delicious thing. The Helpmate Nanna never called herself "Nanna" to the children. What Timmy Did For a moment Nanna stood on the border-lands of being, where life hardly draws breath. Prisoners of Conscience Taken by surprise, Nanna let her go, and sat waiting. The Doomsman "But, Nanna, when I tell you what it is, you will not laugh." The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z Nanna came forward, shaking out a child's frock. The Helpmate With these cryptic words he slid off the bed, taking with him the large old-fashioned Bible which always lay by Nanna's bedside. What Timmy Did All was over, and Nanna stood astonished, smitten, dismayed, on a threshold she could not pass. Prisoners of Conscience Nanna looked at her half-sister questioningly, but did not offer to speak. The Doomsman "You are quite right," was Nanna's reply, "we have both been to blame; we have thought so much of winning Bessie, we have lost sight of the mother." The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z "She's the living image of you, ma'am," said Nanna, conscious of the other's blunder. The Helpmate "Godfrey has taken her up to the nursery," said Betty, "partly to show her to Nanna, and partly because we thought it would be better for her to be quiet up there than down here." What Timmy Did Vala had been in her grave a week–a week of days that turned the mother’s heart gray–before Nanna heard a word of comfort. Prisoners of Conscience "Here in Doom it is nothing," assented Nanna, "save that we women like the pretty things that the ancients fashioned from it." The Doomsman Perhaps you have wondered, Nanna, dear, what Mr. Black came about. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z "Enough, enough, good father Lonner, I too was influenced by a selfish motive—but pardon me, where is Nanna?" The Home in the Valley He did more, and Nanna felt amply rewarded as he climbed up on her bed and, putting his arms round her neck, kissed her on each cheek. What Timmy Did Nanna!” was still all that he could say. Prisoners of Conscience "Then nothing else matters," said Nanna, comfortably, and openly wiped her eyes. The Doomsman Nanna felt to be in a difficulty, and had to think. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z And Nanna and her father were as much rejoiced at the glad tidings as was Magde herself. The Home in the Valley She gave him one glance, and Timmy, with a rather confused and guilty look, hurriedly shut Nanna's Bible, and turned his mind to the sermon. What Timmy Did “Did you think I had forgotten you, Nanna?” Prisoners of Conscience But Nanna's arms were already encircling her treasure. The Doomsman No. But, Nanna, dear, I don't want you to ask me questions. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z Gottlieb, who had provided this repast from the money he had received from his uncle for travelling expenses, was seated beside Nanna. The Home in the Valley Betty hesitated—and then suddenly she made up her mind that, yes, she would do as Nanna suggested.

Matthew Arnold No love dies," replied Nanna, "but it changes. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z "I know you will, Ragnar," replied Nanna, "but only one thing can ever afford me happiness." The Home in the Valley The old woman slipped away, and Betty suddenly wondered whether Nanna had really come in to ask that question as to Miss Pendarth.

The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z But how can we describe Nanna's joyful surprise when she discovered Gottlieb. The Home in the Valley However disturbed and worried she might feel, there were the weekly books to be gone through, and this time without Nanna's shrewd, kindly help. What Timmy Did And Nanna watched him with eyes purified by that mysterious withdrawal into the life of the soul which comes through a great sorrow. Prisoners of Conscience Nanna came, Baldur's fair young wife; but when she saw the dead body of her husband, her own heart broke with grief, and the gods laid her beside him on the stately ship. Young Folks Treasury, Volume 2 (of 12) It would be a poor return for all Nanna's love to keep this fresh trouble from her; besides, Nanna would be sure to supply answers quickly to the other questions. The Little Missis 2011-02-26T03:00:44.830Z "Nanna, you speak as though you did not love me at all!" exclaimed Gottlieb hastily, forgetting entirely the part he had determined to play during this interview. The Home in the Valley I might retort by saying that she might have sent or called to know how poor old Nanna was! What Timmy Did “It was not always so, Nanna,” he said. Prisoners of Conscience The body of Baldur being placed on the ship, Nanna, the daughter of Nep, Baldur's wife, seeing it, died of a broken heart, so she was borne to the pile and thrown into the fire.

The Home in the Valley "A man who has the fever may die of eating beans," said Nanna thoughtfully.
