Him Up And Have Him Go Away

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 59

A 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
