`` Sometimes I just hanker after a chew . Mrs. Elliott wo n't let me chew gum if she sees me . She says it ai n't lady-like . This lady-business puzzles me . I ca n't get on to all its kinks . Say , Una , what 's the matter with you ? Cat got your tongue ? '' `` No , '' said Una , who could not drag her fascinated eyes from that squirrel muff . Mary leaned past her , picked it up and thrust it into Una 's hands . `` Stick your paws in that for a while , '' she ordered . `` They look sorter pinched . Ai n't that a dandy muff ? Mrs. Elliott give it to me last week for a birthday present . I 'm to get the collar at Christmas . I heard her telling Mr. Elliott that . '' `` Mrs. Elliott is very good to you , '' said Faith . `` You bet she is . And I 'M good to her , too , '' retorted Mary . `` I work like a nigger to make it easy for her and have everything just as she likes it . We was made for each other .
'T is n't every one could XXXXX along with her as well as I do .
