`` As you do , '' said Jack , going to sit on the arm of Mamma 's chair , with his cheek to hers , willing to trust as she bade him , but glad to hold fast the living hand that had led and comforted him all his life . `` Ed used to say to me when I fretted about getting well , and thought nobody cared for me , which was very naughty , ` Do n't be troubled , God wo n't forget you ; and if you must be lame , He will make you able to bear it , ' '' said Jill , softly , her quick little mind all alive with new thoughts and feelings . `` He believed it , and that 's why he liked that hymn so much . I 'm glad they sung it to-day , '' said Frank , bringing his heavy dictionary to lay on the book where the flowers were pressing . `` Oh , thank you ! Could you play that tune for me ? I did n't hear it , and I 'd love to , if you are willing , '' asked Jill . `` I did n't think I ever should want to play again , but I do . Will you sing it for her , mother ? I 'm afraid I shall break down if I try alone . '' `` We will all sing , music is good for us now , '' said Mamma ; and in rather broken voices they did sing Ed 's favorite words : -- `` Not a sparrow falleth but its God doth know , Just as when his mandate lays a monarch low ; Not a leaflet moveth , but its God doth see , Think not , then , O mortal , God forgetteth thee . Far more precious surely than the birds that fly Is a Father 's image to a Father 's eye . E'en thy hairs are numbered ; trust Him full and free , Cast thy cares before Him , He will comfort thee ; For the God that planted in thy breast a soul , On his sacred tables doth thy name enroll . Cheer thine heart , then , mortal , never faithless be , He that marks the sparrows will remember thee . '' Chapter XXI . Pebbly Beach `` Now , Mr. Jack , it is a moral impossibility to get all those things into one trunk , and you must n't ask it of me , '' said Mrs. Pecq , in a tone of despair , as she surveyed the heap of treasures she was expected to pack for the boys . `` Never mind the clothes , we only want a boating-suit apiece . Mamma can put a few collars in her trunk for us ; but these necessary things must go , '' answered Jack , adding his target and air-pistol to the pile of bats , fishing-tackle , games , and a choice collection of shabby balls . `` Those are the necessaries and clothes the luxuries , are they ? Why do n't you add a velocipede , wheelbarrow , and printing-press , my dear ? ''
asked Mrs. Pecq , while XXXXX turned up her nose at `` boys ' rubbish . ''
