'Can't, said the boy coolly, 'I'm goin' ter tie it to Poll's balloon, an' let go of the string, an' then it'll go straight to heaven, and, with the letter reposing in his cheek, he began to sing vociferously: "I want ter be an angel, An' with the angels stand; A crown upon my forehead, A harp within my hand." 'Git mad now, P'liney, quick, fer I want that knife orful.

The first thing Whackinta did on coming forward was to deposit the baby on the snow with its head downwards by mistake, whereat it began to scream vociferously.
