Gazing at Daddy, Peegwish fell into an owlish reverie, from which he was aroused by old Liz putting a small sack of barley on the ground before him. The Indian received it with thanks, threw it on his shoulder, and with an expression of unalterable determination on his visage, returned to his own home. The home of Peegwish was dilapidated like himself.
She was not particularly shy; but she shrank from unkind remarks, and she was sure of having at least one critic-extraordinary at the table Sue Latrop. This was really Frances' "coming out party" but she didn't want to "come out" at all! "Oh! I wish they had never come here. I wish daddy had not asked them to this dinner.
I'll do it if you can spare some of these, we have so many. Give me only one, and let the others go to old Mrs. Tucker, and the little Irish girl who has been sick so long, and lame Neddy, and Daddy Munson. It would please and surprise them so. Will we?" asked Ed, in that persuasive voice of his.
He wouldn't like it at all." "Oh, I think he wouldn't mind strawberries," said Grandma Bell with a laugh. "However, the next time we won't go through the ram's meadow. We can go back another way. Now let's see who will get the most berries. We'll take some home to Daddy Bunker!"
I'm going to ask him what what makes it lightning!" "And then will you tell us?" asked Mab, for she and Hal wanted to know about everything they saw. "Yes, I'll tell you," promised Sammie. "And we'll ask Daddy Blake what makes us warm inside when we run," went on Hal, "and then we'll tell you that, Sammie."
"Oh, well, never mind that," went on Russ. "Maybe I can ask him again, though," said Laddie, brightening up. "We can have daddy take us there, and I can ask him then." "What would daddy want to take us there for?" asked Russ. "To see the old coat. Maybe Mr. Gannon has another, and that has the papers in." "I don't guess so," answered Russ. "Gid-dap, Zip."
I'm afraid she is ill." "Wonder, ill!" exclaimed Antony, rising with a start, "I will come at once;" and they went together. Wonder was lying in her bed, with flushed cheeks and bright yet heavy eyes. "Wonder, my little Wonder," said Antony caressingly, as he bent over her. "Does little Wonder feel ill?" "Yes, Daddy. I feel so sick, Daddy." "Never mind; she will be better to-morrow."
Of course there was no bit in Zip's mouth, as there is in the mouth of a horse, for dogs have to keep their mouth open so much, to cool off when they are hot, that a bit would be in the way. In the soap box Laddie and Russ took their places. Daddy Bunker handed them the lines and let go of the dog's head. "Gid-dap!" called Russ. "Go fast!" ordered Laddie.
Sometimes they went out for half a mile over the mud flats, but always a few minutes before the tide came rushing in they turned and hurried to the shore. Their instincts warned them that if they stayed any longer they would be drowned. Mr. Wood had a number of pigs, and after a while Daddy was put in with them, and a fine time he had of it making friends with the other little grunters.
They were in shades of grey. They became her well. 'You look like a duchess, said Daddy proudly. 'You'd better keep them all. 'I think perhaps they'll do, she said, moving to the glass, 'if no one else can wear them. She flushed a little and looked self- conscious. 'They want long pins, suggested Jinny. 'They'll keep the rain off too, like an umbrella. She laughed and clapped her hands.
