"Don't you dare touch my friend," she cried. "We're not doing any harm to you and your things." "Well, you've meddled with them, and you were going to take my doll; you've got it now. Give it to me," and the girl snatched Miggy Wee from Patty's hand. "They meddled, didn't they, Pearl?" "Yes, they did," chimed in the younger girl. "They meddled, so they did."
In a few minutes Patty peeped forth. "They've gone," she whispered. "I don't believe they would have noticed us anyhow. Let's play that the fat toad is an enchanted prince, and that Miggy Wig is going to liberate him from his enchantment." "All right," agreed Marian. "What shall Patty Wee be?" "If Miggy Wig is the fairy, Patty Wee can be the princess who will wed the prince.
MACKESY. All the Station knows it. ANTHONY. 'I suppose I shall have to die here, he said, squirming all across the bed. He's quite made up his mind to Kingdom Come.

BLAYNE. Phew! The Judge ought to be hanged in his own store-godown. Hi, khitmatgar! Poora whiskey-peg, to take the taste out of my mouth. What the deuce made you dine at the Judge's? You know his bandobust. Is this all of you tonight? Mingle had a pain in his tummy. CURTISS. Miggy dies of cholera once a week in the Rains, and gets drunk on chlorodyne in between. 'Good little chap, though.
Patty Wee, as they now called Marian's little doll, just fitted in the cart, so she was brought in state to visit the cave doll, whom Patty called Miggy Wig, neither knew just why.
