But anyway he does n't lick you , and you get enough to eat such as it is -- though that old aunt of yours does n't know ANYTHING about cooking . Why , this is the first day I ever remember of feeling ` sif I 'd enough to eat . I 've been knocked about all of my life , ` cept for the two years I was at the asylum . They did n't lick me there and it was n't too bad , though the matron was cross . She always looked ready to bite my head off a nail . But Mrs. Wiley is a holy terror , that 's what SHE is , and I 'm just scared stiff when I think of going back to her . '' `` Perhaps you wo n't have to . Perhaps we 'll be able to think of a way out . Let 's both ask God to keep you from having to go back to Mrs. Wiley . You say your prayers , do n't you Mary ? '' `` Oh , yes , I always go over an old rhyme ` fore I get into bed , '' said Mary indifferently . `` I never thought of asking for anything in particular though . Nobody in this world ever bothered themselves about me so I did n't s ` pose God would . He MIGHT take more trouble for you , seeing you 're a minister 's daughter . '' `` He 'd take every bit as much trouble for you , Mary , I 'm sure , '' said Una . `` It does n't matter whose child you are . You just ask Him -- and I will , too . '' `` All right , '' agreed Mary . `` It wo n't do any harm if it does n't do much good . If you knew Mrs. Wiley as well as I do you would n't think God would want to meddle with her .
Anyhow , I wo n't cry any more XXXXX it .
