"Morra, Sonny!" "Morra, Anna!" "Aany day but Sunday he may go, dear, but not th' day." That was all that was needed. Sonny wanted me to take him bird-nesting. He had the price in the bundle. "If I give ye this now," he said, "will ye come some other day fur nothin'?" "Aye." In the bundle was a "bap" a diamond-shaped, flat, penny piece of bread. I rejoined the cup-tossers.

They were to make more trouble but not again were they to imperil the foundations of law and order in the little community of New Salem. As they were starting away Bap McNoll turned to Harry Needles and shouted: "I'll git even with you yet you slab-sided son of a dog." That is not exactly what he said but it is near enough.

"I've already butted a great many people with my head. If I butt you in your ugly face I'll knock it into a jelly. Turn me loose! Oho! You don't answer?" Bap! "Guinea girl!" exclaimed Brother Rabbit, "Are you dead? Gracious goodness!
History is rather hazy as to exactly what happened; but anyhow, Maggie, with the tattered banner of her country fast unfurling in her heart, decided to save her hero for the last time; and it was well she did not tarry longer, for he was sore pressed.
