Jack and Jill

CHAPTER XVI
10/14

I didn't know you had any worries, for you always seemed like one of the happiest people in the world, with so many to pet and care for you, and plenty of money, and nothing very hard or hateful to do.

You'd think you were well off if you knew as much about poverty and work and never getting what you want, as I do." "You bear your worries so well that nobody knows you have them.

I ought not to complain, and I won't, for I do have all I need.

I'm so glad you are going to get what you want at last;" and Merry held out her hand to say good-night, with so much pleasure in her face that Ralph could not make up his mind to go just yet.
"I shall have to scratch round in a lively way before I do get it, for David says a fellow can't live on less than four or five hundred a year, even living as poor artists have to, in garrets and on crusts.

I don't mind as long as Grandma is all right.
