"Ah! Would you?" he growled, fiercely. "You're a nice young game cock chick, you are.
"You might as well get your clothes chick, while you're about it and I didn't have to dig up twenty bones, neither nor anything like it " a reflection on Janet's most blue suit and her abnormal extravagance.

We have oak trees and green grass at our house, what many children in crowded cities do not get. Three little girls love to play in the green grass, with some pet chickens, and a white, pink-eyed rabbit for companions.
