Do you think you could get along with her?" "Is she good-natured?" asked Mancy. "I don't know her very well," said Patty; "but I think she is. I'm sure she will be, if we are." "Den dat's all right," said Mancy. "I kin look after you two chilluns, I 'spect, and get my work done, too. When shall I come?" "The house isn't quite ready yet," said Patty; "but I hope to go there to live on New Year's day." "I think we'd be glad of Mancy's help a few days before that," said Aunt Alice. And so, subject to Mr. Fairfield's final sanction, Mancy was engaged. And now Patty's whole establishment, including Pudgy the cat, was made up. |
