Sometimes she would peek in at Mary Faithful's office and baby talk for Steve's edification something like this: "Ise a naughty dirl I is want somebody to play wif me want to be amoosed. Do oo care?

"Katy don't amoose me; and I must be amoosed, 'cause I 'm fwactious; mamma said I was!" sobbed Maud, evidently laboring under the delusion that fractiousness was some interesting malady. "Come down and have dinner; that will amuse you;" and Fanny got up, pluming herself as a bird does before its flight.
Tom whistled a minute, then sighed deeply, and put his hand to his forehead, which the black plaster still adorned. "Does your head ache?" asked Polly. "Awfully." "Better lie down, then." "Can't; I 'm fidgety, and want to be 'amoosed' as Pug says." "Just wait till I finish my chapter, and then I 'll come," said pitiful Polly.
