When little Danny's arms were thrown around her neck, and he called her his dear sweet, pink lady, her pseudo-intellectuality broke down before a power which had lain dormant. She had always talked a great deal of the joys of motherhood, and the rapturous delights of mother-love. Not many of the mothers knew as much of the proper care of an infant during the period of dentition as she.
Bobbsey was there, and they talked matters over. The chief said he would send one of his men around to the different stores that sold cigarettes, to try and learn if boys had purchased any that afternoon, for it was against the law to sell cigarettes to anyone under sixteen years of age. One afternoon Danny's father, Mr.
The green wrapper hung most loosely about Danny's small, slim figure, great folds almost touching the ground, while the brown trunk and the blue, beaver-like tail waggled and wiggled about until they met between the front and hind legs of the elephant. There was something about that awkward elephant that made Jerry feel all friendly inside and struck the chord of envy in his heart.
A dozen or more blows followed in quick succession. One struck Bert in the eye and blackened that organ, and another reached Danny's nose and made it bleed. Then the two boys clinched and rolled over on the schoolyard pavement. "A fight! A fight!" came from those looking on, and this was taken up on all sides, while many crowded forward to see what was going on. The school principal, Mr.
"How do you know he doesn't?" asked Belle quickly. "Does he tell you everything?" "No; but I know Danny's sea-going lines pretty well. I'd suspect, at least, if he had a sweetheart." "Are you sure that you would?" "Oh, yes! By gracious! There's Danny going around the corner above at this very moment." Belle had looked in the same instant.
"Johnnie," she said in a voice of agony, utterly oblivious of her surroundings, "Johnnie, you've always been my friend! Danny's sick!" "Shandon, for pity's sake!" ejaculated little Mrs.
"O don't touch it it hurts," Danny wailed, when Pearl examined his grimy little foot, from which a trickle of blood was showing through the murk of prairie soil. "Just let me wash it, dear," said Pearl soothingly. "We cannot tell how badly you are hurt until we get the dirt off. It may not be so bad at all." This was the afternoon of the same day. Danny's tears came in torrents.
If I find out who of my pupils have been smoking around the school they will be severely punished." There was considerable talk among the boys in Danny's room after Mr. Tetlow departed. And it was noticed that Danny and some of his particular friends looked around with rather frightened faces, over their shoulders, as they talked among themselves.
The farther they went with nothing happening, the more foolish Danny's timid way of running and hiding seemed to Grandfather Frog, and he was just about to tell Danny just what he thought, when Danny dived into the long grass and warned Grandfather Frog to do the same. But Grandfather Frog didn't. "Chugarum!" said he, "I don't see anything to be afraid of, and I'm not going to hide until I do."
When Danny's chums learned that it was known who had set the boat adrift, they were rather frightened. When they realized the damage they might have done, they kept away from Mr. Bobbsey's lumber yard for a long time. One day, about a week after this, the Bobbsey twins hurried home from school without stopping to play with any of their friends.
