1 Sister, you know mother's name is Berthe.
2 Ambrosch was to bring his sister to town next Saturday.
3 She smiled at me, and went back to the dishes, with her sister.
4 He saw his father's sledge overturned, with his mother and sisters.
5 I will say, Jake, some of our brothers and sisters are hard to keep.
6 'I didn't even know Martha wasn't my full sister until after she was engaged to Joe,' Anna told me.
7 Antonia seemed to like it; she held her little sister by the hand and chattered away in that language which seemed to me spoken so much more rapidly than mine.
8 It was his plan that every cent of his sister's wages should be paid over to him each month, and he would provide her with such clothing as he thought necessary.
9 All through the wheat season, she told us, Ambrosch hired his sister out like a man, and she went from farm to farm, binding sheaves or working with the threshers.
10 Lena was always knitting stockings for little brothers and sisters, and even the Norwegian women, who disapproved of her, admitted that she was a good daughter to her mother.
11 When Ambrosch came to town, however, he came alone, and though he put his horses in our barn, he would never stay for dinner, or tell us anything about his mother and sisters.
12 But the younger brothers and sisters, for whom they made such sacrifices and who have had 'advantages,' never seem to me, when I meet them now, half as interesting or as well educated.
13 When Mrs. Harling told him firmly that she would keep fifty dollars a year for Antonia's own use, he declared they wanted to take his sister to town and dress her up and make a fool of her.
14 If his sisters or their friends happened to be among the onlookers on 'popular nights,' Sylvester stood back in the shadow under the cottonwood trees, smoking and watching Lena with a harassed expression.
