It was better still to see her hug Christie, when the latter emerged, flushed and breathless, from the chaos of arms, legs, and chubby faces in which she was lost for several tumultuous moments; and it was best of all to see the good woman place her cherished "bunnit" in the middle of the parlor table as a choice and lovely ornament, administer the family pocket-handkerchief all round, and then settle down with a hearty: "Wal, now, Mis Sterlin', you've no idee how tickled we all was when Mr.
First of all, little Wilson took heart and gave me a cheer, then he began to grow excited, and to cry in an eager whisper, "Well done, Burr junior! Hooray! That's it. Give it him.

"Well, if it is Miss Prissy's robber come back, that makes the boys act so, Phyllis might just as well be scared as the rest of us; and if it is something pleasant, why, let her have a share of that, too."
