"Gueth not, Marm," he lisped back cheerily. "I never cared for shooth mythelf." He was always shouting across the way to inquire if "<i>thith</i> wath hot enough or cold enough to thute <i>me</i>?" As if I had expressed a strong desire for phenomenal extremes of temperature. One morning he suddenly departed.
"Yeth, leave it to me," she urged. "I can take care of mythelf. Buthter ith right, for once in her life. Leave it to me." They agreed to do so. Harriet turned to Miss Elting. "You promised to tell us the legend that belongs to this shelf of rock on which we are encamped. If not too long a story, will you relate it now?"
"For a birthday present," they said, "and, Johnnie, you're to let off every one of them your own self; and lots more are coming from the shop." "My wig!" exclaimed Johnnie, feigning intense surprise, though he had heard every word of the conference. "Let them all off mythelf, did you thay? Well, I do call that a motht egregiouth and tender lark."
"I'll bet I'm jutht a Injun mythelf." "Then you've got some little baby girl's scalp," grinned Jim Conlow. "'Tain't no 'pothum'th, anyhow," rejoined Bud; and we laughed our fears away. That evening Aunt Candace sent me home with Marjie to take some fresh doughnuts to Mrs. Whately.
"How do you do, Mith Thkinner," greeted Tommy. "Like mythelf, you aren't fat, are you?" "I am not," replied Miss Skinner. "Where do we stow our belongings?" asked Miss Elting. Mrs. Livingston looked puzzled. "Every tent in the camp is full," she replied. "Really, I do not know what I am going to do with you, girls." "That is easily answered. We will sleep out-of-doors," proposed Jane.
My father thayth I hop around like a thand flea at a clam bake mythelf, but if I wath fat I couldn't do that, could I?" asked Tommy with a sidelong glance at Buster.

"The mare has a cold and the syce is a qualified fool, is he? H'm! I think it's high time you had a look in at little old England, my son, what? And who made you this elegant rapier? Ochterlonie Sahib or who?" "'Tithn't a waper. It'th my thword. I made it mythelf." "Who helped?" "Nobody.
He now drove away, and Johnnie informed Emily that he had already been hard at work that morning. "I've a right to enjoy mythelf after it," he added, looking round in a patronising manner, "and I have. I've not had a better lark, in fact, since Grand was a little boy." By these kind, though preposterous words, the assembly was stimulated to action.
"Hath Buthter broken her nothe?" questioned Tommy. "I think not," replied Miss Elting. "Come, get started, Tommy. Mr. Grubb will assist you. I shall have to look after Margery's bruised face." "I don't need any athithtanthe. I gueth I know how to get up there by mythelf. Bethideth, I don't want to thkin my nothe." "Wait!" commanded Jane threateningly. "No, I'm going. Look out! I'm coming.
