Sam made disparaging remarks about the trail this Deer did not leave, and Guy sneaked and peaked in every thicket. Sappy was not an athlete nor an intellectual giant, but his little piggy eyes were wonderfully sharp and clear. "I see him," he yelled presently, and pointed out the place seventy-five yards away where he saw one ear and part of the head.
Wagge passed her and put his hand on the latch of the front door. His little piggy eyes scanned her almost timidly. "Well," he said, "I'm very glad to have the privilege of your acquaintance; and, if I may say so, you 'ave you 'ave my 'earty sympathy. Good-day." The door once shut behind her, Gyp took a long breath and walked swiftly away.
"If grandma should give me a house full of dolls and candy all rolled up, and every single present in the world, I'd rather have that piggy." "Well, well," said Mr. Allen, "I guess the folks that wouldn't give their pigs away to Prudy don't live here. Let's go and see." They went into the house to see grandpa. Of course he said Yes.
He drove the poor piggy to Ballyporeen, And the price of it soon he did spend in poteen, He got into a fight and was cracked on the head, Then to jail he was carried and taken for dead. The constable then for the Father did send, For he thought that McCarthy was quite near his end; He confessed to the priest, did this penitent youth, About the pig stealing he told the whole truth.
"You, too, will have to go in the kindergarten class. Now, I wonder if either of you piggy boys can make a paper bird in a cage." So she gave each of them a pair of scissors and some red paper, and blue and pink and yellow and brown and all colors like that. But my goodness sakes alive and some candy with cocoanut on the top!
There was not much pleasure in driving that stout young porker. Many a sharp jerk lamed the hand that held the rope that restrained the leg that piggy wanted to run with. To add to Gentleman Bill's annoyance, spectators soon became numerous, and witty suggestions were not wanting. "Take him up in your arms," said somebody.
He strolled forth and whistled in the clump of trees at the back of the Married Quarters till Cris came to him, and, the preliminary kisses being given and taken, Lew began to explain the situation. "I'm goin' to the Front with the Reg'ment," he said valiantly. "Piggy, you're a little liar," said Cris, but her heart misgave her, for Lew was not in the habit of lying.
"Yes, I will, now that you are here," said Don, and he took his strong, white teeth from the piggy boy's ear. "I did not bite him hard enough to hurt him," said Don. "But I had to catch hold of him somewhere, and taking him by the ear was better than taking him by the tail, I think." "Oh, yes, indeed!" agreed Mr. Pig.
But there was one calculation forgotten both by Miss Lucinda and Israel: the pig would grow, and in consequence, as I said before, Miss Lucinda came to grief; for when the census-taker tinkled her sharp little door-bell, it called her from a laborious occupation at the sty, no more and no less than trying to nail up a board that Piggy had torn down in struggling to get out of his durance.
Let her find for herself that the best community mother should be the woman who has borne children and knows the depths of human experience are needed to reach its heights. She has her own ideas of service; so have I. Mine are that most people you try to help are piggy and grunt if you happen to step on their toes.
