Last thing I done down-town was order the treat." He nested his head in his interlocked fingers and leaned back. "Louada Murilla, you and me is goin' to take solid comfort from now on and there's nothin' like bein' popular in the place where you live." He glanced sideways at the little blank-book. "We've been kind of neglectin' that, hain't we, wife?
And you must take a blank-book and sharpened pencil, And will you price everything, please, and jot down how much things are?" Orders received, the impetuous Parker was departing on the instant, when she stopped him with a little cry: "But you haven't any umbrella!" And she forced her own, a slender wand, upon him; it bore a cunningly wrought handle and its fabric was of glistening silk.
He strode into the hall and opened the door of the "living-room." Jane was sitting on the floor, busily painting sunsets in a large blank-book which she had obtained for that exclusive purpose. She looked up brightly as William appeared in the doorway, and in answer to his wild gaze she said: "I got a little bit sick, so mamma told me to keep quiet a while.

Kitty had a little pocket-book, a silver shoe-buttoner, a blank-book, a pretty silk pincushion, and a bangle like Marjorie's. Baby Rosy had dolls and toys, and what with the candies and other goodies, there was a distracting array of Christmas all about.
But Manetho's attention was turned to some words that Salome was writing in a little blank-book which she always carried in her pocket She offered to help him carry off the child, on condition of being herself one of the party! He looked narrowly at the woman, but could make nothing by his scrutiny. Was it love for the child that prompted her behavior?
