"It's early yet, even if it is dark, and maybe he went out to play in the snow, though of course he shouldn't at this hour." "It's snowing, too," said Mrs. Brown, as she stood in the back door beside her husband. "Snowing hard! There's going to be a big storm, and if Bunny is out in it I wish Bunny would not do such things!" "Oh, will he get freezed?" cried Sue, her eyes opening big and round.
An' you all never cared a cent about it either, or you'd a founded me quicker 'n this 'n' I've been hungry fur nineteen hours, 'n' I guess I've been gone till December, by the feelin', but you was too lazy to found me 'f I freezed to def 'n' there ain't but one singul boy of me round the whole camp, 'n' 't would serveded you right if I had got losted for ever; then I bet you wouldn't had much fun Fourth of July 'thout my two bits 'n' my fire-crackers!
"Limpy-toes used cold water," said Aunt Squeaky. "No, it was hot water, Ma," contradicted Dot. "First he freezed me with cold water; then he boiled me in hot water," said Tiny.

Well, he warn't more'n ten years old when his pa went doty an' died, an' I don't reckon he's had much larnin' sence.

"But I shouldn't like that old lady, though. I know how she looked: it was just this way," said Prudy, drawing down her mouth, and looking cross-eyed. "She didn't want the potatoes frozed," added Dotty; "for if she did, she might have laid 'em out doors all night, and they'd have freezed as hard as a stick." Grandma Read had a thought just then, though she did not express it.
