The War's not over by a long sight. Weintraub's a German. Carlyle was pro-German I remember that much from college. I believe your friend Mifflin is pro-German, too. I've heard some of his talk!" Titania faced him with cheeks aflame. "That'll do for you!" she cried. "Next thing I suppose you'll say Daddy's pro-German, and me, too! I'd like to see you say that to Mr. Mifflin himself."
I wish we had a little private pond. Maybe we could make one in the yard, Sunny." "Maybe," assented Sunny Boy, but he was thinking about going to the Park with Grandpa Horton and trying his new skates, and not about making a "private" skating pond in the back yard. "There! I heard the front door shut. I hope Daddy's come."
He, too, began to believe with his cousin, Mr. Crow that Daddy Longlegs and all the others were on Farmer Green's side. DADDY LONGLEGS' neighbors took an even greater interest in him, after his contest with Mr. Crow. And much to Daddy's distress they tried harder than before to pry into his private affairs. But those curious busybodies learned very little.
This was another politician; no bloodless victory would be his; fur would fly first, powder burn Wow! The red person must have tumbled to William as well, for he increased the revolutions to one hundred and forty per minute and broke into a shrill lullaby of his own impromptu composition: "Go to sleep, Mummy's liddle Did-ums; Go to sleep, Daddy's liddle Thing-ma-jig."

He hardly looked up when Milton spoke to him, and seemed scarcely to comprehend what he said.

The high tea had been shifted to seven and rechristened dinner, but my uncle would not dress nor consent to have wine; and after one painful experiment, I gathered, and a scene, he put his foot down and prohibited any but high-necked dresses. "Daddy's perfectly impossible," Sybil told me. The foot had descended vehemently!
"It's all alike they be, six, or sixteen, or sixty-six!" remarked McWha, sarcastically, stepping to the door. "I don't want none of 'em! Ye kin look out for 'er! I'm for the horses." "Don't talk out so loud," admonished the little one. "You'll wake Daddy. Poor Daddy's sick!" "Poor lamb!" murmured Johnson, folding her to his great breast with a pang of pity. "No; we won't wake daddy.
She waited, then plucking up all her courage with the desperate suffocating sense of a prisoner laying himself beneath the guillotine, she knocked timidly on his door.
