Once she paused to glance\u003cbr\u003eback toward the church, wondering what the minister would say in\u003cbr\u003eexpounding that text.  She had a fleeting thought of slipping in,\u003cbr\u003etaking the back seat and listening to the sermon.  The remembrance that\u003cbr\u003eshe had not dressed for church deterred her; then her face twisted\u003cbr\u003egrimly as she again turned to the path, for it occurred to her that she\u003cbr\u003ehad nothing else to wear if she had started to attend church instead of\u003cbr\u003egoing to see her brother.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs usual, she had left her bed at four o'clock; for seven hours she had\u003cbr\u003ecooked, washed dishes, made beds, swept, dusted, milked, churned,\u003cbr\u003efollowing the usual routine of a big family in the country.  Then she\u003cbr\u003ehad gone upstairs, dressed in clean gingham and confronted her mother.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I think I have done my share for to-day,\" she said.  \"Suppose you call\u003cbr\u003eon our lady school-mistress for help with dinner.  I'm going to Adam's.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMrs. Bates lifted her gaunt form to very close six feet of height,\u003cbr\u003elooking narrowly at her daughter.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069971022064,"sku":"2940013400801","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013400801_p0.jpg?v=1763591960","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013400801","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
