But when she tried again to slip her hand away from Buddy's the little boy pulled at it hard, and half opening his eyes, said sleepily, "Sylvie stay with Buddy Sylvie stay " Sylvia yielded weakly, said: "Yes sh! sh! Sister'll stay. Go to sleep, Buddy."
Jan lay still on the ground for a second or two, and then she jumped up with a laugh. "I'm not hurt a bit!" she said. "I fell right in a pile of leaves, and it was like jouncing up and down in the hay." "What's the matter with Trouble?" asked Ted. Baby William kept on crying. "Never mind!" put in Jan.

Who knows anything about her any more'n they did about him? Better look up her record, I guess. The boy's turned out to be a thief; maybe the sister'll turn out to be " "Stop! Be still!"
