"We had a race with 'em, and Laddie's went higher than mine. Then he said wouldn't it be fun to have a real balloon. And I said yes, and then I thought of the rope at the barn and Norah's clothes basket and we made a hoister balloon, and Mun Bun wanted to go up in it, he did." "And we pulled him, we did, and he got stuck," added Laddie.
Bunker and Norah, who had reached the street and could look down and see Mun Bun standing under a tree not far away, came to a sudden stop. "And then the little darlin' isn't caught up by a German airship?" asked the cook. "No. It's just a balloon he bought with the five cents Jerry gave him," explained Rose, "and it's caught in a tree, and " "I see how it is," said Mrs. Bunker, and she laughed.
"If you would come with me perhaps " "I'll come, I'll come, and stand within call, to be sure. Only do ye mind this, dear soul alive, not to goo telling a crumb about mun, noo, not for the world, or yu'll see naught at all, indeed, now. And beside, there's a noxious business grow'd up against me up to Chapel there; and I hear tell how Mr.
'To-morrow! said Sylvia, suddenly looking up at him, and then dropping her eyes, as she found he had been watching for the effect of his intelligence on her. 'I mun be back at t' whaler, where I'm engaged, continued he. 'She's fitting up after a fresh fashion, and as I've been one as wanted new ways, I mun be on the spot for t' look after her.
"I've packed two trunks, and I've helped rescue Mun Bun from a balloon and Vi from a sinking boat that wasn't a riddle after all." And the whole family, including the six little Bunkers, laughed as they thought of the queer things that had happened that day. "I'll tell you what we can do," said Daddy Bunker. "It's early, and there is a nice moving picture show in town.
'Na, na! said Bell, 'th' feyther's feyther, and we mun respect him. But it's dree work havin' a man i' th' house, nursing th' fire, an' such weather too, and not a soul coming near us, not even to fall out wi' him; for thee and me must na' do that, for th' Bible's sake, dear; and a good stand-up wordy quarrel would do him a power of good; stir his blood like. I wish Philip would turn up.

"Well, there's many a thing I'd like yo to speak on to the Parliament people.
At any rate he wanted to bite Mun Bun's legs." "'Twas your legs he was after, Margy," declared the little fellow, flushing. "I wouldn't let the goosey-goosey-gander bite mine." "Anyhow," said Margy, "he chased us. And all his hens came too. And Bobo saw him and he came down and drove them off. See! That gander is hissing at us now." "Bobo is a brave dog," cried Rose, patting the hound.
This was enough to keep the flock following. But the big gander did not chase the little boy and girl because of the scattered corn. He was really angry! The chubby legs of Mun Bun and Margy looked good to that old gander. He ran hissing after them and began to flap his wings. One stroke of one of those wings would knock down either of the children.
It's hell; and he's a swipe. I see my boss talkin' to you just now. Did he put you next a good thing?" Allis nodded her head, knowingly. "He's all right. So's the other one the guy as has got the mun; he's got a bank full of it. I'm on to him; his name's Crane " Allis started.
