Here's father! and the Greys saw Mr. Flinders approaching, his right hand bearing a yellow envelope, held with the handle of a large basket tightly grasped, and his face bearing a most unwonted smile.

I come to see Roberta--Mr. Abbit, down to the depot, said you'd got back--and my wife she said she thought you'd like some 'f her jelly, said Mr. Flinders.

She said she'd like to know if Polly wasn't about ready to come home.
gpt
I'd like to come, if Rob wasn't here,

I'll go away, Pollykins, go away again, if you say so, smiled Rob.
gpt
I think she's well now--don't you, Mardy? Perhaps you ought to go see your mother, dear. She's lonely with no little Polly Flinders among her cinders.

Polly is quite welcome, Mr. Flinders, said Mrs. Grey,

She said I'd ought to tell you, but I d'know's I know how, he began, embarrassed.

We're a good deal obliged to you for all you've done for Maimie, an' I can see my way to carryin' on this place on equal shares next summer, countin' from now. I guess half'll be 'bout what I'll take in the future, 'stead of two-thirds.
gpt
That's very good of you, Mr. Flinders! cried Mrs. Grey, appreciating the sacrifice this offer cost.

Come next week, and we'll talk about accepting your proposition. We hope the Greys may be much better off by that time. Roberta has been to New York in reference to her father's patent, and we believe it is going to prove very valuable; we are waiting for news of its purchase now.
