She fell in love with him while he was attending her when she had typhoid, when his back was turned as it were, and it was simple kindness in him that made him marry her when he found out how it was with the poor thing.

She had placed it there after reading her son Anson his evening chapter. Slowly she mastered herself and sank back into her chair.,“Well, Merry Christmas, Jeremias!”,"Have hard work gettin' away from her, Maurice?" he asked.,Maurice scratched his head in perplexity. "Wonder where he's takin' Dad? It's too late fer sheep-shearin' an' too early fer hog-killin'; an' that's 'bout all Dad's good at doin', 'cept leadin' the singin' at prayer-meetin'. Wonder what's up?
