Ye won't nave to leave the\nhouse then\".\n\n\"I could look after ye all, if she was here,\" agreed Sarah in a flat\nmatter-of-fact voice.\n\n\"Well, than, fetch her up,\" said Hamilton wiping his mouth. \"Can ye\nmanage the pony and trap yerself?\"\n\n\"I'll go for her now, when I\u2019ve redd up,\" answered Sarah, rising.\n\nAnd so it was settled. The old woman offered no opposition to her\ndaughter and she was brought back and given her old room in the Echlins'\nhouse. For a time she mde an effort, when the men were out, to follow\nSarah round the house. But she could do very little work now and somehow\nshe felt that her daughter didn't want her in the kitchen any more. Her\nlegs were swollen; and sometimes, when there was a longer pause than usual\nin the irregular thumping of her heart, she drew herself upright on her\npillow, gaping hungrily for breath.\n\nEach day she stayed a little longer in bed, until the time came when\nshe was content to hear the men go out in the morning, and let the day pass\na3 she slept or lay with her eyes closed, thimcing of the past, until she\nwas roused again by the clatter of the milking pail3 and the low voices of\nthe men gathered at the evening fire. She was very grateful for the peace\nthat she was enjoying, and when Hamilton came down to see her in the evening\nshe took his hand in hers and held it against her breast, and they sat for\na time in silence, until he bade her good-night and went away again.\n","Type":"Text"}}]
