Oh , Jordan , if I could only see her ! Maria says it 's terrible childish to be always harping on that string , and mebbe it is . But -- oh , Jordan , there 's such a hunger in my heart for her , such a hunger ! '' Jordan felt a queer sensation in his throat , and twisted his ragged straw hat about in his big hands . Just then a vague idea which had hovered in his brain all day crystallized into decision . But all he said was : `` I hope you 'll feel better soon , Aunty Nan . '' `` Oh , yes , Jordan dear , I 'll be better soon , '' said Aunty Nan with her own sweet smile . '' ` The inhabitant shall not say I am sick , ' you know . But if I could only see little Joscelyn first ! '' Jordan went out and hurried down-stairs . Billy Morrison was in the stable , when Jordan stuck his head over the half-door . `` Say , can I have the rest of the day off , sir ? I want to go to Kensington . '' `` Well , I do n't mind , '' said Billy Morrison amiably . `` May 's well get you jaunting done ` fore harvest comes on .
