Jimmy stolidly brought up the rear with small Sue clinging loyally to his dirty little paddie, which she only let go to run and bury her cornsilk topknot in Harriet's outspread arms, where she was engulfed into safety until only the most delicious dimpled pink knees protruded above dusty white socks and equally dusty white canvas sandals.
Do you want to rouse her?" and she went over, and pulled down the green curtain with the pink rose border. "Are you sartin thet she's the one?" "Didn't I say I seen her? Are there so many cornsilk heads around here? Now, the question is " "Jest what I was a-thinkin': The question is " "We kin lock this room and put the bars ag'in the shutters.

"We will use some cornsilk for hair, and some little stones for the eyes, nose and mouth, and for dresses " "Well, what will we make dresses from?" asked Brighteyes, for she noticed that Sister Sallie was at a loss what to say. "Oh, I know leaves," cried the little squirrel.
Old Applehead grunted and chewed upon a wisp of his sunburned mustache that looked like dried cornsilk after a frost. The Happy Family exchanged careful glances and rode meekly along in silence. There was not a man of them but believed that Applehead was nearer right than Luck, but they were not so foolish as to express that belief.
