"Nothing but personal caricatures and hearts, perhaps," returned the Little Doctor, sweetly. "I hardly think your collection of the last named article is very large," retorted Chip.
Sara regarded him with indignation; in her own mind she was perfectly convinced that he was aware of her quandary and had no mind to help her out of it.

"We did not leave for this," replied Tomeo, with some acerbity, for he experienced a temporary sensation of feeling better at the moment; "we left all for the sake of assisting our friends in there! it comes it " He said no more, and both chiefs relapsed into silence gazing the while at the buckets with undue interest.
