"Wake up, Fanny," said she "wake up." "Oh! Mrs. Wycoff, don't whip me," mourned Fanny piteously, as she opened her eyes, "I didn't mean to go to sleep, but I was so tired." "Don't you know no better than to treat a little motherless thing in that are way?" said Daddy coming indignantly forward.
"Never touched me!" he chirped, jumping up and pounding the plate with his bat. "You couldn't hit a barn door. Come on. I'll paste one a mile!" Bob did not get an opportunity to hit, for Harris could not locate the plate and passed him to first on four balls. "Dump the first one," whispered Daddy in Grace's ear. Then he gave Bob a signal to run on the first pitch.
"Sometimes I think daddy has no feeling for me. I reckon he thinks I'm a boy." "Hot water is debilitating, and very bad for the complexion," retorted her father. "Ice-cold water is what you need. And if you don't get out o' there in five minutes I'll dowse you with a dipperful."
What foolishness! the old man repeated, shaking his head. 'Why not scatter, and go one by one? So you just go like that and they won't notice you. That's what you must do. 'Well, thank you! Good-bye, Daddy. God willing we may meet again, said Olenin, getting up and moving towards the passage. The old man, who was sitting on the floor, did not rise.

"I'm learning to do spatter prints for Christmas," said Rose-Ellen, brushing her hair before going to bed. "Jimmie, why on earth don't you take this chance to learn reading?" Daddy coaxed. "Daddy, you won't tell Her I can't read?" Jimmie begged. Yet, as October passed, something happened to change Jimmie's mind. As October passed, too, the Beechams grew skillful at picking.
Ruth slipped a rosy palm over her sister's lips, but Alice pulled it away, and laughingly added: "She found that her glances failed to reach Paul, and so she's trying her 'wireless' on " "Alice, you must stop.

In fact I gathered he was fair-to-middling fond of you still, in spite of your abominable behavior." "Phil, didn't say I had behaved abominably Daddy. You know he didn't. He might think it but he wouldn't ever say it not to you anyway." "He didn't. That is my contribution and opinion. Carlotta, I wish to the Lord Harry you would marry Philip Lambert!"
"I ain't held it all these years to let it go now fer a duffer like him." "An', Daddy dear," blurted Tess, "Mother Moll told old Waldstricker's fortune out of the pot, an' she says as how he ain't never goin' to git Andy back to Auburn till it air too late, even if he uses up all the money he air got. What d'ye think o' that?" A little groan came from the garret.
