Of course, it is a satisfaction to have done what you set out to do. But I tell you, laddie, that after your money is made, the zest of the game is gone.

You are on the shelf."
"Yes," said Cecil solemnly. "We we just had to. We couldn't go to bed without coming. Oh, isn't it lonesome without Cousin Avis?" "She was always so good to us," said Sid. "She used to talk to us so nice," said Cecil chokily. "But she liked fun, too." "Boys," said Laddie gravely, "never forget what Cousin Avis used to say to you.
"Oh, are there fish down in your ocean?" asked Russ. "Lots of 'em, if you can catch 'em," said Cousin Tom, laughing. "And is there any gold?" Laddie asked. "I never found any, if there is," was the answer. "But then I never had much time to dig for it. You may, if you like. But now are you all ready?" "All ready, I think," said Mother Bunker.
"And maybe we wouldn't have come, only Zip chased the rabbit," added Laddie. "Well, it was good luck all around, and I have my papers back," said Daddy Bunker. "And now we'll go on with the picnic." Daddy Bunker gave the lumberman some money, as his share in the good luck, and told him when he was through working for Mr. Barker to come to Pineville.
"Think of that, now!" interrupted Mrs. Callender. " and no doubt the whole community will agree to hope that Father Storm will recover from the irritation natural to his eviction " "Aye, we can all get over another body's disappointment, laddie." "'But there is a danger that in this instance the altruism of the time may develop a sentimentality not entirely good for public morals "
Pryor's stubborn and perverted notions about God, he would like the man immensely, and love to be friends; and if Laddie married into the family we would have to be as friendly as we could anyway. He said he had such a high opinion of Mr. Pryor's integrity that he didn't believe he'd encourage Laddie to enter his family if it would involve the boy in serious trouble. Mother didn't know.
Ye hae baith conquered sin i' yersel, and ye hae turned the sinner frae the error o' his ways." "Hoots!" interrupted Cupples, "do ye think I was gaun to lat the laddie gang reid-wud to the deevil, ohn stud in afore 'm and cried Hooly!" After this the two were friends, and met often. Cupples went to the missionars again and again, and they generally walked away together.
And the answer is, of course, 'A pigeon wing. There! Isn't that a fine riddle?" "Pooh!" said Vi. "I don't think so." "Some pigeons' wings have feathers," said Rose. "Hoh!" cried Laddie, somewhat disturbed. "That one Russ was trying to make doesn't have any feathers on it." "That's only one kind, and it isn't really a pigeon's wing, you know." Laddie stared at his sister, Rose, with much doubt.
He signed to Foster, who went down the passage to meet him. "I thought I'd maybe better tak' a look roon the back o' the hoose and found the laddie aneath the window. He had a bit paper in his hand." Foster told him to watch Walters' door, and frowned at the lad. "I reckon you'd sooner keep out of jail." "Sure," said the lad, with an effort at carelessness; "I'm not going to get in."
That was the soap-box cart hitting against a tree. "Tunk! Tunk!" Those were the soft sounds Russ and Laddie made as they were spilled out on the grass near the lumberman's cabin. "Bow-wow!" That was Zip barking at the cat. "Hiss-siss!" That was the cat making queer noises at Zip. "Wow-ow-ow-Yelp!" That was Zip howling because the cat scratched his nose. For that's just what the cat did.
