'Can't be bovvered, retorted that worthy, as he squirmed into his jacket like an eel, and darted past her. 'I'm as hungry as Wobinson Crusoe, an' I'm goin' to tell mar how you're loiterin'. She followed him sadly. She had forgotten to say her own. 'Fifteen minutes late, said Mrs Harding severely, as she entered the kitchen. 'You'll hev to be extry spry to make up.
One would be sorry for her if she'd only let one," and her voice was kind and gentle as she asked the little girl if she wouldn't like some more tea. Rosy shook her head. "I don't want nothing," she said. "What's the matter, Rosy?" said Colin. "Losy's bovvered," said Fixie. Colin gave a whistle. "Oh!" he said, meaningly, "I expect I know what it's all about. I know, too, Rosy.
"Yes, I did. Because you bovvered me to, and and you'd jumped in after me!" "And shallent you not ever keess me once time more?" "Oh well look here! Perhaps when it's your birthday, if we get somewhere quite secret, where nobody can possibly see us, I I'll let you have one a quick one!" "T-thanks you!" said the grateful Hare. "It's 'thanks', or else 'thank you'," corrected Toppin.
The snake never stirred when he did and you may be sure it didn't get much chance to stir after. Three sticks came down on it at the same time." "I say!" Norah breathed quickly. "What an escape for poor Phil!" "Wasn't it? He didn't seem to care a bit when we showed him the snake and told him it had been so near him he hadn't known a thing about it.

"Better wait a year or two, Top," said Simmons, deliberately turning a somersault. "I'm bovvered if I do!" cried Toppin, scampering round to the diving-board. He was in a state of great excitement. "I'm going to dive, and turn head over heels, and stamp in the water, just like you." "Oh, let the nipper see what he can do!" said Armitage, laughing. He was standing on the diving-board.

Only the trouble in his delicate little face grew greater. "Is you bovvered, Losy?" he said. "Fix is welly solly," and he came farther into the room. "Losy," he said again, still more gently than before, "do come to tea. Fix doesn't like having his tea when Losy isn't there, and Fix is tired to-day." Rosy looked at him a moment.
