  Pa Goes to Town
  "Bedtime, girls!" Ma said.
  Then Laura begged to be allowed to sit up till Pa came, and Mary backed her up, till Ma said they might. For a long, long time they sat up. Mary yawned, then Laura yawned, then they both yawned. But they kept their eyes wide open. Laura's eyes saw things grow very large and then very small, and sometimes she saw two Marys and sometimes she couldn't see at all, but she was going to sit up till Pa came.
  Suddenly a fearful crash scared her and Ma picked her up. She had fallen off the bench, smack on the floor. She tried to tell Ma that she wasn't sleepy enough to have to go to bed, but an enormous yawn almost split her head in two. In the middle of the night she sat straight up. Ma was sitting still in the rocking chair by the fire.
  The door latch rattled, the shutters shook, the wind was howling.
  Mary's eyes were open and Jack walked up and down. Then Laura heard again a wild howl that rose and fell and rose again.
  "Lie down, Laura, and go to sleep," Ma said, gently. "What's that howling?" Laura asked.
  "The wind is howling," said Ma. "Now mind me, Laura."
  Laura lay down, but her eyes would not shut. She knew that Pa was out in the dark, where that terrible howling was. The wild were in the bluffs along the creek bottoms, and Pa would have to cross the creek botto(men) ms in the dark. Jack growled. Then Ma began to sway gently in the comfortable rocking-chair. Fire-light ran up and down, up and down the barrel of Pa's pistol in her lap. And Ma sang, softly and sweetly: "There is a happy land, Far, far away, Where saints in glory stand, Bright, bright as day. "Oh, to hear the angels sing, Glory to the Lord, our King was Laura didn't know that she had gone to sleep. She thought the shining angels began to sing with Ma, and she lay listening to their heavenly singing until suddenly her eyes opened and she saw Pa standing by the fire.
  She jumped out of bed, shouting, "Oh Pa! Pa!"
  Pa's boots were caked with frozen mud, his nose was red with cold, his hair wildly stood
  up on his head. He was so cold that coldness came through Laura's nightgown when she reached him. "Wait!" he said. He wrapped Laura in Ma's big shawl, and then he hugged her. Everything was all right. The house was cozy with -firelight, there was the warm, brown,smell of coffee, Ma was smiling, and Pa was there. The shawl was so large that Mary wrapped the other end of it around her. Pa pulled off his stiff boots and warmed his stiff, cold hands. Then he sat on the bench and he took Mary on one knee and Laura on the other and he hugged them against him, all snuggled in the shawl. Their bare toes toasted in the heat from the fire.
