Blake's roses in her hair, step forward as the children gazed in silent rapture, and with a few sweet words welcome them to the little surprise their friends had made. There were many Christmas trees in the city that night, but none which gave such hearty pleasure as the one which so magically took the place of the broken branch and its few poor toys.
"Let me see the little ones sometimes," continued Ralph; "and if large parcels of toys and books find their way to the Elms, you will know who sent them. But I must not come in Dora's way; she is no loner Dora Thorne." As Stephen watched the young man walking quickly through the long gray fields, he wished that Dora had never seen Ronald Earle. Poor Dora's troubles were not yet ended.
Play with your toys a little while, and when I've done the washing up I'll get you ready. Frankie obeyed, and for about ten minutes his mother heard him in the next room rummaging in the box where he stored his collection of 'things'. At the end of that time, however, he returned to the kitchen. 'Is it time to dress me yet, Mum? 'No, dear, not yet.
Well, I vow I've not lived long enough yet, Harry." "I dare say you are the best judge," Harry admitted. "There's a higher court, eh? Who knows? Maybe we are all the toys of chance." He shrugged. "Why then, damme, I have never been afraid to take what I chose and wait for the bill. Dodge it, or pay it. Odso, there is no other way for a hungry man." "Lord, sir, now you are philosophical!
I recall that, during the days preceding the Emperor's coronation, M. Isabey attended regularly at the Emperor's breakfast, and was present almost every morning; and strange, too, it did not seem an absurd thing to see children's toys used to represent the imposing ceremony which was to exert such a great influence over the destinies of the world.
Colvin had told the children that they were to keep themselves quiet till dinner-time; so Miss Darwell took her doll, and for a long time they were all very still with their toys: they were to dine at half-past one, and Henry had not done with his ark when a female servant came into the outer room to lay the cloth. "It is time to put up now," said Mrs. Colvin, calling from the next room.
It is so near Christmas that I need all the toys I can pile into my sleigh." The Plush Bear was lifted off the bench by one of the workmen and put in a box, after being wrapped in tissue paper. "I hope they don't smother me!" thought the Bear, but he need not have been afraid. His last glimpse was of the Wax Doll.
"Keeps me in toys," he said, relaxing. "Good deal," Joe said. "I wouldn't mind some toys. I'm on the way to becoming a starving artist writing things." Jason shook his head admiringly. "You get back to Woodstock, much?" Joe asked. "Oh sure, holidays now and then. I got your address from Morgan." "How's he doing? He was out with his lady a while back Edie. She was nice." "I met her," Jason said.
To its perfection its size bears witness, for there is no other appliance so small for the great work it has to do. Look at the anchors hanging from the cat-heads of a big ship! How tiny they are in proportion to the great size of the hull! Were they made of gold they would look like trinkets, like ornamental toys, no bigger in proportion than a jewelled drop in a woman's ear.
I want something to play with!" cried this boy. "I want a Jumping Jack and I want a Noah's Ark! You said you'd get me something if I let the dentist pull that tooth, and now you've got to! I want a lot of toys!" he cried to the lady who was with him. "Yes, Archibald. But please be quiet!" begged his mother. "I will get you a toy. Which one do you want?"
