"Oh! we don't need to ask him," said Chirpy Cricket. "He'll come without being invited, unless I'm greatly mistaken." Luckily for Daddy Longlegs there was not a breath of wind either that day or the following one. So he made excellent time to the Bumblebee home, where he found Buster Bumblebee and gave him his invitation. Then Daddy turned around and started back towards his stone wall.

You couldn't cure her of that. You want her to be happy." "I do I do. Wade, I swear I'll never kill Buster Jack. And for Collie's sake I'll try not to hate him." "Well, that's fine. I'm sure glad to hear you promise that. Now I'll go out an' chop some wood. We mustn't let the fire go out any more." "Pard, I'll write another note a letter to Collie. Hand me the blank-book there.
You see, out where he lives, Grizzly, the big cousin of Buster Bear, also lives, and Grizzly is very fond of a Marmot dinner when he can get one.

"It will do very well," remarked Mr. Rabbit, "but you'll hear nicer songs by the time you are as old as I am." "Dem ar white chillun done mighty well," said Drusilla, "but I don't like de way dat ar nigger gal hilt her head." "Do they have to stay in the looking-glass?" asked Buster John.
