So Far, Where She Couldn't Hope To See Him Soon, Where She Couldn't
Listen For His Whistle Coming Home At Night, Where He Couldn't Even Come
Back For Sunday And Sit In The Old Pew In Church With Them. But Those
Things Had To Come. It Was The Only Way He Could Grow And Fulfil His
Part Of God's Plan. And So She Put Away Her Tears Till He Was Gone, And
Kept Them For The Old Felt Hat When Father Was Out About The Farm. And
Then When The News Came That Stephen Had Graduated So Soon, Gone Up
Higher To God's Eternal University To Live And Work Among The Great,
Even Then Her Soul Had Been Big Enough To See The Glory Of It Behind The
Sorrow, And Say With Trembling, Conquering Lips: "I Shall Go To Him, But
He Shall Not Return To Me. The Lord Gave, And The Lord Hath Taken Away.
Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord!"
That Was The Kind Of Nerve That Blessed Little Mother Marshall Was Built
With, And It Was Only In Such Times As These, When Father Had Gone To
Town And Stayed A Little Later Than Usual, That The Tears In Her Heart
Got The Better Of Her And She Laid Her Face Against The Old Felt Hat.
Down The Road In The Gloom Moved A Dark Speck. It Couldn't Be Father,
For He Had Gone In The Machine--The Nice, Comfortable Little Car That
Stephen Had Made Them Get Before He Went Away To College, Because He
Said That Father Needed To Have Things Easier Now. Father Would Be In
The Machine, And By This Time The Lights Would Be Lit. Father Was Very
Careful Always About Lighting Up When It Grew Dusk. He Had A Great
Horror Of Accidents To Other People. Not That He Was Afraid For Himself,
No Indeed. Father Was A _Man_! The Kind Of A Man To Be The Father Of A
Stephen!

"Sugar And Its Value As FN, The Same Principles To Go By. So When,
After She Had Passed The Hot Johnny-Cake, Seen To It That Father Had The
Biggest Pork Chop And The Mealiest Potato, And Given Him His Cup Of
Coffee Creamed And Sugared Just Right, Mother Got Out The Letter With
The University Crest And Began To Read. She Had No Fears That Father
Would Not Agree With Her About It. She Read Eagerly, Sure Of His
Sympathy In Her Pleasure; Sure He Would Think It Was Nice Of Stephen's
Friend To Write To Her And Pick Her Out As A Real Mother, Saying All
Those Pleasant Things About Her; Sure He Would Be Proud That She, With
All The Women They Had In The East, Should Have So Brought Up A Boy That
Chapter 11 Pg 59A Stranger Knew She Was A Real Mother. She Had No Fear That Father Would
Frown And Declare They Couldn't Be Bothered With A Stranger Around, That
It Would Cost A Lot And Mother Needed To Rest. She Knew He Would Be
Touched At Once With The Poor, Lonely Girl's Position, And Want To Do
Anything In His Power To Help Her. She Knew He Would Be Ready To Fall
Right In With Anything She Should Suggest. And, True To Her Conviction,
Father's Eyes Lighted With Tenderness As She Read, Watched Her Proudly
And Nodded In Strong Affirmation At The Phrases Touching Her Ability As
Mother.
"That's Right, Mother, You'll Qualify For A Job As Mother Better 'N Any
Woman I Ever Saw!" Said Father, Heartily, As He Reached For Another
Helping Of Butter.
His Face Kindled With Interest As The Letter Went On With Its
Proposition, But He Shook His Head When It Came To The Money Part,
Interrupting Her:
"I Don't Like That Idea, Mother; We Don't Keep Boarders, And We're
Plenty Able To Invite Company For As Long As We Like. Besides, It Don't
Seem Just The Right Thing For That Young Feller To Be Paying Her Board.
She Wouldn't Like It If She Knew It. If She Was Our Daughter We Wouldn't
Want Her To Be Put In That Position, Though It's Very Kind Of Him Of
Course--"
"Of Course!" Said Mother, Breathlessly. "He Couldn't Very Well Ask Us,
You Know, Without Saying Something Like That, Especially As He Doesn't
Know Us, Except By Hearsay, At All."
"Of Course," Agreed Father; "But Then, Equally Of Course We Won't Let It
Stand That Way. You Can Send That Young Feller Back His Check, And Tell
Him To Get His New Ottymobeel. He Won't Be Young But Once, And I Reckon
A Young Feller Of That Kind Won't Get Any Harm From His Ottymobeels, No
Matter How Many He Has Of 'Em. You Can See By His Letter He Ain't
Spoiled Yet, And If He's Got Hold Of Steve's Idea Of Things He'll Find
Plenty Of Use For His Money, Doing Good Where There Ain't A Young Woman
About That Is Bound To Object To Being Took Care Of By A Young Man She
Don't Know And Don't Belong To. However, I Guess You Can Say That,
Mother, Without Offending Him. Tell Him We'll Take Care Of The Money
Part. Tell Him We're Real Glad To Get A Daughter. You're Sure, Mother,
It Won't Be Hard For
