That child will like\u003cbr\u003eas not come here with a bundle o' things borrowed from the rest o' the\u003cbr\u003efamily. She'll have Hannah's shoes and John's undershirts and Mark's\u003cbr\u003esocks most likely. I suppose she never had a thimble on her finger in\u003cbr\u003eher life, but she'll know the feelin' o' one before she's been here\u003cbr\u003emany days. I've bought a piece of unbleached muslin and a piece o'\u003cbr\u003ebrown gingham for her to make up; that'll keep her busy. Of course she\u003cbr\u003ewon't pick up anything after herself; she probably never saw a duster,\u003cbr\u003eand she'll be as hard to train into our ways as if she was a heathen.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"She'll make a dif'rence,\" acknowledged Jane, \"but she may turn out\u003cbr\u003emore biddable than we think.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47180391743728,"sku":"2940013802940","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013802940_p0.jpg?v=1763590468","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013802940","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
