I hope there are no naps to be taken this afternoon. I'm going berrying if I have to go alone." "You can count on me, darling," Amy cried, flinging her arms about Peggy's neck. And Dorothy chimed in bravely, "An' you can count on me, Aunt Peggy. But but what are you going to bury?" While Peggy was explaining, Claire laid her hand on Priscilla's arm, and looked tenderly into her eyes.
It was he who planned the parties and the picnics; the sleigh rides in winter and the berrying trips in summer. It was he whom the girls all loved and the boys all worshiped bold, handsome, daring, dashing, careless, generous, leader of the Yesterdays. Again she saw his face lifted slyly from a spelling book to smile at her across the aisle.
A young hunter up the Dosewallups, where the Indians were berrying, killed the baby in jumping a log. "'Yes, madam, I answered, and rose and put the cup down, 'I am the man.

"See those woods, girls?" She pointed across the garden and across the cornfield to the woods about a quarter of a mile away. "In those woods are blackberry bushes, lots of them.

I have been berrying, two or three times. They might have come while I was out." "Has Sibyl met them yet?" came the next question. "She has not mentioned it, if she has." "H-m-m," mused Brian Oakley.
But it must not be imagined that Black Bruin led a very lonely life even upon the chain, for the children frequently took him berrying, or to the deep woods for nuts. When the apples had been picked and most of the honey taken from the hives, he was again given the freedom of the place to come and go as he wished.

Rushton was braiding straw when Robert entered with his berries. "Couldn't you sell your berries, Robert?" she asked. "I haven't tried yet, mother." "The berrying season won't last much longer," said his mother, despondently. "Don't borrow trouble, mother. I am sure we shall get along well." "You feel more confidence than I do."
