Nan Sherwood On The Mexican Border Esprios Classics

"Elizabeth Harley jumped down from her bicycle and dropped it noisily against the steps of the Sherwood back porch. "Nan, oh, Nan!" she called. There was no answer. She ran up the steps and into the cottage, letting the screen door bang behind her. A friend since primary school days of Nan Sherwood, she was like one of the family and always ran into the Sherwood home on Amity Street without the formality of ringing the doorbell or pausing to knock."

""And of course," drawled Laura Polk, she of the irrepressible spirits and what Mrs. Cupp called "flamboyant" hair, "she will come riding up to the Hall on her trusty pinto pony (whatever kind of pony that is), with a gun at her belt and swinging a lariat. She will yell for Dr. Beulah to come forth, and the minute the darling appears this Rude Rhoda from the Rolling Prairie will proceed to rope our dear preceptress and bear her off captive to her lair-""

"There would have been no trouble at all, Nan was sure, had it not been for that new bag. In the first place it was a present from her Aunt Kate Sherwood, although Nan purchased it herself. The purchasing of most of her school outfit was supervised by Mrs. Harley, at the same time that her own daughter's was bought, but a few last purchases were left to the girls and Nan and Bess certainly had a most delightful time shopping in Chicago for a week, before they started for Lakeview Hall."

Excerpt from Mexican Border Ballads: Written on the Border Long the Mexican Border, August twenty-eight. Dear Mother: I am writing, I know a trifle late, But I have been so busy, with the Soldiers' daily grind That I've neglected writing, but I know you will not mind, When you've read what I am writing, you'll feel a whole lot better, And I promise that hereafter, I will write a daily letter. Tell Sis she wouldn't know me, since I left our little town, For the sun has surely baked me, a most gorgeous golden brown, Tell Dad if he could see me, he would never cuss me more, For oversleeping mornings, or neglecting any chore. Tell little brother Bennie, I've a pistol and a gun, A really truly rifle, that wasn't made for fun. Tell Hattie that I love her, when you see her, Mother dear, That sleeping, drilling, working, I keep wishing she were here. Tell Aunty that I thank her for the little wooden box.
