"O, my shole!" cried she, clapping her hands, "the sun's camed again! A little bit o' sun. I sawed it!" Inspired with new courage, she and Dinah concluded to start for home; that is to say, they turned round three or four times, and then struck off into the woods. Now you may be sure all this could not happen without causing great alarm at grandpa Parlin's.
"We were all hot, nasty steam, just like a tea-kettle, and we cooled off into water, sailin' around so much, and then we got crusts on us, bless de Lawd, and then, sir, we kept on gettin' solid, and circus animals grewed all over us, and then they died, and thank God for that, and Adam and Evenin' camed, and Madge can't I have some more gingerbread?
"The woman camed and camed and haunted me, till my mind were almost gone, and I allers seed the little kid's dead face ag'in' her, and allers she seemed to tell me to haggle the life outen yer kids; and haggle I did, till they runned away, and then I went after 'em, and Flea " Vandecar stopped the speaker with a wave of the hand.
"They didn't know I was a-comin'," thought Flyaway, "but I camed!" And with that she fluttered into the pew. "Naughty, naughty girl," said aunt Louise, in an awful whisper. She longed to take up the morsel of naughtiness, called Katie, in her thumb and finger, shake it, and carry it out. But there was a twinkle in the little one's eye that might mean mischief; she did not dare touch her.
"No, sir," answered Flyaway, folding her little hands as if she were saying her prayers; "I camed down when I was a baby." "That's what makes your hair so goldy," said Bennie. "Mother, did you ever see such eyes? Say, did you ever? So soft, and kinder shiny, too." "Children, don't stare at her; it makes her uneasy." "I can't stare at her," said Maria, bitterly.
"My name's Master Phil, and I want that cuckoo," answered the little boy. "He camed up this way. I'm sure he did, for he called me all the way." "He's not here," said Griselda, shaking her head; "and this is my aunts' garden. No one is allowed to come here but friends of theirs. You had better go home; and you have torn your clothes so."
"What's the matter with you now, Wash?" shouted Mark, for they all wore ear-tabs and had to shout to make one another hear. "Oh, lawsy-massy on us!" groaned Wash. "I'se got sech a misery, Massa Mark, I dunno but ma time has camed." "What time has come?" demanded Mark, without much sympathy. "It'll be time for you to hustle and get us something to eat before long."
And then when I was in the field he called me, but I couldn't find him, and nurse said 'Nonsense. And to-day he called me again, so I camed up through the bushes. And mayn't I come again? Perhaps if we both tried together we could find the way to fairyland. Do you think we could?" "I don't know," said Griselda, dreamily. "There's a great deal to learn first, the cuckoo says."
Now, do tell me all about your misfortune, and how it happened, for I came on purpose to hear." "Yes, we camed to purpose to hear," said Fly, from the foot-board of the bed, where she had perched and prattled every moment since she came in. "I founded Maria, and then I went up to her, and says I, 'Doggie, doggie!"
"I suppose you don't mean me, mother." Mrs. Brooks only answered her poor daughter by a kiss. "Well, little Katie, after you were born in Nindiana, you came to New York. When did you come?" "One of these other days I camed here with Hollis." "Who's Hollis?" "He's my own brother. Got a new cap. Had his hair cut." "Who did you come to New York to see?" "My auntie." "Her auntie!
