Chapter Nine

Sadie insisted that her mother rest all the next morning. She put up a fuss, but Sadie didn’t relent. She enlisted both Matilda and Lizzie in a massive clean-up. They not only did the normal housework, they dug deep, waxing floors, dusting the occasional cobweb from the ceiling, even re-organizing the basement. By the noon meal, both her sisters were complaining.

“Look here,” Sadie said, “a new boppli is coming, so we have to have this house in perfect condition. Besides, you won’t always have me to help, so best to get this done now.”

“What? You’re leaving again?” Matilda asked, her brow scrunching into a frown. “I thought you were back to stay.”

“I get my room back,” Lizzie said, and then had the decency to look guilty.

“I don’t know how long I’ll be here,” Sadie said. “But I need you to be gut and helpful to Mamm all the time. You hear me?”

“We’re always helpful,” Matilda said. “Go and ask her.”

“I didn’t mean you weren’t,” Sadie said, pulling the knot of her sister’s bandana. “I just want you to be even more helpful.”

“You think it’s gonna be a girl?” Lizzie asked.

“Could be.”

“I hope it is. We don’t need no more boys around here.”

Sadie laughed. “All right. I need someone to boil the eggs. We’re going to have potato salad with our roast.”

“Potato salad in winter?” Matilda asked. “Yum.”

The three of them laughed and got right at the cooking.
