Her bed stood against the window, and it was\r\neasy for her to look out; all she had to do was to roll over and pull\r\nthe shade aside. Having looked at the weather she rolled again on to\r\nthe broad flat of her back and made herself comfortable for awhile,\r\nfor there was no reason why she should get up until she felt like it.\n\"Such a Christmas!\" she said good-naturedly to herself. \"I guess such\r\nweathers is bad for Santy Claus. Mebby it is because of such weathers\r\nhe don't come by my house. I don't blame him. So muddy!\"[4]\nShe let her eyes close indolently. Not yet was she hungry enough to\r\nimagine the tempting odour of fried bacon and eggs, and she idly\r\nslipped into sleep again. She was in no hurry. She was never in a\r\nhurry. What is the use of being in a hurry when you own a good little\r\nhouse and have money in the bank and are a widow? What is the use of\r\nbeing in a hurry, anyway? Mrs. Gratz was always placid and fat, and\r\nshe always had been. What is the use of having money in the bank and a\r\ngood little house if you are not placid and fat? Mrs. Gratz lay on her\r\nback and slept, placidly and fatly, with her mouth open, as if she\r\nexpected Santa Claus to pass by and drop a present into it. Her dreams\r\nwere pleasant.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 17937 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Butler, Ellis Parker \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Mar 6, 2006 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIllustrator\u003c\/b\u003e: Preston, May Wilson, 1873-1949 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Butler, Ellis Parker,1869-1937 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217499062429,"sku":"gb-17937-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/17937.jpg?v=1671434706","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/the-thin-santa-claus-the-chicken-yard-that-was-a-christmas-stocking-gb-17937","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
