What
is
it
,
dear
?
"
asked
Sue
.
"
Six
,
"
said
Johnsy
,
in
almost
a
whisper
.
"
They
're
falling
faster
now
.
Three
days
ago
there
were
almost
a
hundred
.
It
made
my
head
ache
to
count
them
.
But
now
it
's
easy
.
There
goes
another
one
.
There
are
only
five
left
now
.
"
"
Five
what
,
dear
.
Tell
your
Sudie
.
"
"
Leaves
.
On
the
ivy
vine
.
When
the
last
one
falls
I
must
go
,
too
.
I
've
known
that
for
three
days
.
Did
n't
the
doctor
tell
you
?
"
"
Oh
,
I
never
heard
of
such
nonsense
,
"
complained
Sue
,
with
magnificent
scorn
.
"
What
have
old
ivy
leaves
to
do
with
your
getting
well
?
And
you
used
to
love
that
vine
so
,
you
naughty
girl
.
Do
n't
be
a
goosey
.
Why
,
the
doctor
told
me
this
morning
that
your
chances
for
getting
well
real
soon
were
--
let
's
see
exactly
what
he
said
--
he
said
the
chances
were
ten
to
one
!
Why
,
that
's
almost
as
good
a
chance
as
we
have
in
New
York
when
we
ride
on
the
street
cars
or
walk
past
a
new
building
.
Try
to
take
some
broth
now
,
and
let
Sudie
go
back
to
her
drawing
,
so
she
can
sell
the
editor
man
with
it
,
and
buy
port
wine
for
her
sick
child
,
and
pork
chops
for
her
greedy
self
.
"
"
You
need
n't
get
any
more
wine
,
"
said
Johnsy
,
keeping
her
eyes
fixed
out
the
window
.
"
There
goes
another
.
No
,
I
do
n't
want
any
broth
.
That
leaves
just
four
.
I
want
to
see
the
last
one
fall
before
it
gets
dark
.
Then
I
'll
go
,
too
.
"
"
Johnsy
,
dear
,
"
said
Sue
,
bending
over
her
,
"
will
you
promise
me
to
keep
your
eyes
closed
,
and
not
look
out
the
window
until
I
am
done
working
?
I
must
hand
those
drawings
in
by
tomorrow
.
I
need
the
light
,
or
I
would
draw
the
shade
down
.
"
"
Could
n't
you
draw
in
the
other
room
?
"
asked
Johnsy
,
coldly
.
"
I
'd
rather
be
here
by
you
,
"
said
Sue
.
"
Besides
I
do
n't
want
you
to
keep
looking
at
those
silly
ivy
leaves
.
