"If I knew who sent it, mamma wouldn't let me keep it, at least Alex wouldn't, so of course I do not know."
It's about his that I'm afraid. What do you reckon's the reason I've held him off for years?" "Just because you could, Fannie." "No, my dear little goosie, I did it because he never was so he couldn't be held off. I knew, and know yet, that after the wedding I've got to do all the courting.

"We are dreadfully late," said the eldest, "but it was all Piggy's fault." "No, Goosie, it was yours," said the other. "How can you be so naughty as to say it was mine?

"O, Jennie Vance! isn't there a barn anywhere in this great pasture?" "Men don't keep barns in their pastures, Dot Dimple; and lightning strikes barns too, quicker'n a flash!" Dotty covered her face with her hands.
I would like to stay at home all day and hold the baby. Goosie was always asking me to take him and I never had any time." This statement revealed the condition of many nursery mothers who are obliged to forego the joys and solaces which belong to even the most poverty-stricken.

"You foolish Esther! who means to die, I should like to know? Why, the child is actually crying. Listen to me, you dear goosie. I was never so happy or well in my life."
And we all feel as if it was our faults. I can't explain, but 'It wasn't your fault a bit, you darling goosie, mother said. 'How could it be? 'That's just what I can't tell you, said Anthea. 'I haven't got a futile brain like you and father, to think of ways of explaining everything. Mother laughed.
