She stood still a good while , and when she turned about her pale little face made my heart ache . `` I 'll take home Mrs. Tyson 's dress now , grandmother , '' she said , and went out of the room .

She crept alongside of me without a word , looking weak and done-out : she was always so busy and bright , it was the more noticeable . The house where the dress was to go was one of the largest in the town . The servant showed us into a back parlor , and took the dress up to her mistress .
