Books: The Lilac Sunbonnet

"And that is more than ever you would have done, Ralph," said his
wife candidly.

"Kezia is to be married in October, and there is a young man
coming to see little Keren-happuch, but Jemima thinks that the
minds of both of her younger sisters are too much set on the
frivolous things of this earth. The professor has received a new
kind of snuff from Holland which Kezia says is indistinguishable
in its effects from pepper--one of his old students brought it to
him--and that's all the news," said Ralph, closing up the letter
and laying it on the table.

"Has Saunders Moudiewort cast his easy affections on any one this
year yet?" Ralph asked, returning to the consideration of
Winsome's hair.

Saunders was harvesting at present at Craig Ronald. The mistress
of the farm laughed.

"I think not," she said; "Saunders says that his mother is the
most' siccar' housekeeper that he kens of, and that after a while
ye get to mind her tongue nae mair nor the mill fanners."

"That's just the way with me when you scold me," said Ralph.

"Very well, then, I must go to the summer seat and put you out of
danger," replied Winsome. "Since you are so imposed upon, I shall
see if the grannymother has done with her second volume. She never
gets dangerous, except when she is kept waiting for the third."

But before they had time to move, the rollicking storm-cloud of
younglings again came tumultuously up the stairs--Winifred far in
front, Allan toddling doggedly in the rear.

"See what granny has put on my head!" cried Mistress Winifred the
youngest, whose normal manner of entering a room suggested a
revolution.

"Oo" said Allan, pointing with his chubby finger, "yook, yook!
mother's sitting on favver's knee-rock-a-by, favver, rock-a-by!"

But Ralph had no eyes for anything but the old sunbonnet in which,
the piquant flower face of Mistress Five-year-old Winifred was
all but lost. He stooped and kissed it, and the face under it. It
was frayed and faded, and it had lost both strings.

Then he looked up and kissed the wife who was still his
sweetheart, for the love the lilac sunbonnet had brought to them
so many years ago was still fresh with the dew of their youth.

THE END.
