"Indeed I could get on very well without the little plague," Joan sometimes grumbled "just for a teenty bit of a while," she generally added, hastily; for she really loved her little sister dearly. Joan tried hard to be patient, but she had a quick temper, and occasionally forgot her good resolutions. This happened one day when her mother had gone to dispose of the dairy products.

She might think I ought to let her s'ciety look after these children as long as they've got hold of the mother already; but I they'd be sep'rated as sure as fits, and just look how teenty Rivers is to be taken away from all his folks at once." "I don't want him tookened away," Fern spoke up. "Mamma told me to stay with him all the time, and I said I would.

You might have bled to death. You deserve to be shut in a dark closet or put to bed without any supper." "Oh, Mammy, Tiny and I have truly twin tails now, like Bunny and Bobsey Rabbit. I think they are splendid," smiled Teenty. "Want to go for an automobile ride, kiddies?" called Limpy-toes. "I have made another seat and can take seven."

And it had made the man nicer, and pleasanter spoken, and kinder to folks, and partic'lar to creaturs. It had made him sort o' bend down, 'twas so hefty, and so he'd got to takin' notice o' teenty little things nobody else scursely'd see, mites o' posies, and cunnin' little bugs, and creepin', crawlin' things. He took a heap o' comfort in 'em.

Flying footsteps, slamming doors, and then the play-room was deserted. Tiny and Teenty crept shyly from their hiding-place, feeling very stiff. "Oh, see, Teenty!" cried Tiny. "There's a bag of Christmas candy away up in the tree. The young Giants did not find it." Up among the branches she scrambled, almost to the tip-top of the tall tree.

Then, by dint of promising that if it began again she would open the window a "teenty little crack," so that he might hear it better, she coaxed him to the point of yielding, and tucked him, chilly, yet half unwilling, in the trundle. Back again, to look and listen. And, oh, wonderful and unexpected fortune!

Tiny and Teenty raced merrily on ahead, picking bouquets of wild blossoms and calling gaily to the butterflies and honey bees who were flitting among the flowers. By-and-by, the tired little party stopped to rest under a clump of red clover. Granny Whiskers had slipped a ginger cookie into each tiny pocket when they called at her door to say good-by. These cookies made a nice luncheon for them.

Say, Boss, foh de Lawd's sake, jist gib me a little teenty, weenty sup in dis heah tin cup for my boss. He's an ossifer, an' is layin' in de ossifer's horsepitol ober dar. Hit'll do him a powerful sight ob good." "Awful Sorry, my friend," said the Deacon, hardening his heart, "but I haven't a bit to spare. Hain't got as much as I need for my own son and his partner.

"Laughing at the big card, I suppose," Arabella said. "Well, there's nothing funny about that," Patricia said, hotly. "It cost ever so much more than the teenty little cards on the other doors did." Patricia rated everything by its cost.

"He must like to work so hard," drawled Buster. "Oh, it's jolly fun!" cried Tiny. "It's jolly fun," echoed her twin Teenty. "Maybe it is," said Mother Graymouse, "but I'd like to chew a hole in those toys that would let out all the noise. With their racket and Squealer's howling, I'm almost crazy. Here, Silver Ears, sit by the cradle and amuse the baby. I must try to find something for our supper.
