"'Why, Ah Moy, how perfectly shocking! "Bluff!" "Humbug!" Where did you learn such words?
A thick haze hung over the now white "Tapis Vert," and the nude figures of the Bassin d'Apollon were clothed in a mantle of snow, while the white-robed statues of the Allée Royale, one could well believe, shivered as one passed.
Nor is this appellation an empty fiction, for there stand the lime trees themselves, in two double rows with their delicate green leaves rustling in the breeze, forming a two-fold verdant allée, vigorous and fragrant, down the centre of the street, and into the very heart of the city.
"I am just going to pick some more." "Well, I'm not!" was the emphatic reply, as Cherry started after the dusty figure plodding down the field. "I am nearly cooked now, and hungry as a bear. Come on home! We have picked enough to pay for our shoes, goosie. Or do you want two pair?" Peace lifted her somber eyes from her self-appointed task and said briefly, "Yep for Allee."
"You sabe, 'So long, John'?" "Yes." "Well, 'Chy Lee' allee same!" I understood him quite plainly. It appeared that "Chy Lee" was a form of "good-night," and that Wan Lee was anxious to go home. But an instinct of mischief, which, I fear, I possessed in common with him, impelled me to act as if oblivious of the hint. I muttered something about not understanding him, and again bent over my work.

Night set in. About ten, Mary said, convincingly "Coon Dogs coming! Coon Dogs coming!" "No, no," said Ajax. I slipped out of the house.
Cherry screamed, Peace scrambled to her feet and raced madly after the terrified beast, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Let go, Allee! Whoa, Bossy!" Allee let go, but Bossy did not whoa until, with a wild plunge, she lurched against the stone watering trough, groaned and lay down with one leg doubled under her. "Oh, she's broken her leg!" yelled Cherry, dancing up and down in fright.
"Allee light," nodded the proprietor. "How long do you think it will take?" asked Donaldson quickly. "Might take till noon to search every place and then we might not find him if he's an old hand at the game," answered Saul. "Till noon!" exclaimed Donaldson irritably. "Good Lord, that's eight hours!" Saul placed his hand affectionately upon Donaldson's shoulder.
And Allee had promised to do her best, but Peace could not forget her last glimpse of the wistful, flushed face, pressed against the window-pane to watch her out of sight around the corner.
