That sounds as if it ought to be in the Bible , but they tell me a person named Burns wrote it . And there is no doubt that we are born to trouble as the sparks fly upward .

'' `` Of course , Susan , of course . I can get someone to help me while you are gone . '' `` If you can not I will not go , Mrs. Doctor , dear , Matilda 's leg to the contrary notwithstanding . I will not have you worried , and that blessed child upset in consequence , for any number of legs . '' `` Oh , you must go to your sister at once , Susan . I can get a girl from the cove , who will do for a time . '' `` Anne , will you let me come and stay with you while Susan is away ? '' exclaimed Leslie . `` Do !
