CHAPTER XVI
SUZANNA AIDS CUPID
"Mother dear," asked Suzanna one day, "if the Eagle Man's sick, don't you think I ought to go and see him?"
Mrs. Procter hesitated. She looked into the earnest dark eyes raised to hers. "Well, dear, perhaps it would be kind," she said.
"I ought to take him some flowers," Suzanna pursued.
The time was early morning, and Mr. Procter had not yet departed for the hardware store.
"I can't think where you'll get flowers, Suzanna," he said.
"Oh, there's a little shaded spot in a field I know and there's some daisies there. I'll gather them on the way to the Eagle Man."
So that afternoon after school Suzanna admonished Maizie to be quick with her buttons because she and the baby were to pay a call on the Eagle Man.
