They were not a bit hurt, but they were very, very much surprised when they scrambled to their feet and saw the rock erect on a long kind of tail it had, glaring at them out of one red angry eye. Ann was the first to recognize it. "Oh, oh," she cried, "it's not a rock at all it's Betsy's Warming-pan!" The Pan, giving a deep throaty kind of growl, began to shuffle toward them.
"Why, bless your heart my child," she exclaimed in dismay, "you have been using Aunt Betsy's cough medicine." Little Wolf threw herself on the bed convulsed with laughter, and Mrs. Tinknor heartily joined in the merry peals. "I came to tell you," said Mrs. Tinknor, when somewhat composed, "that a steamer has just arrived, and Mr.
At this Betsy's tail dropped between her legs, for she was a coward at heart, but Doctor held his ground, his tail standing on end, as his hair should have done, and his eyes all the while fairly devouring the little rabbit.
And just think how terrible it will be to wake at midday, out of a sound sleep, with her dreadful face and form haunting me!" Freddie Firefly couldn't help feeling sorry for the poor chap. But he could think of nothing to do, except to show him Betsy's portrait once more. So he started to raise the picture from the ground, where it still lay face downward.
Another day, it was on the day when Miss Mary slapped Miss Betsy's face, Miss M., who adoared him, as I have said already, kep on asking him what was his buth, parentidg, and ediccation.

Shep sighed deeply and sat down with his nose resting on the couch near Betsy's knee, following all their movements with his kind, dark eyes. Once in a while Betsy stopped hugging Deborah or exclaiming over a new dress long enough to pat Shep's head and fondle his ears. This was what he was waiting for, and every time she did it he wagged his tail thumpingly against the floor.
West Point was associated in Aunt Betsy's mind with that handful of noble men who within the walls of Sumter were then the center of so much interest, and at parting with her companion she said to him: "Young man, you are a soldier, I take it, from your havin' been to school at West Point. Maybe you'll never have to use your learning, but if you do, stick to the old flag.
In her distress Aunt Betsy's first thoughts were turned to Wilford as the man who could redress her wrongs if any one, and a long letter was written to him in which her grievances were told in detail and his advice solicited.

In all Kingthorpe there were no rooms so cool as Aunt Betsy's in summer none so warm in winter. The cottage had originally been the homestead of a small grass-farm, which had been bequeathed to Betsy Wendover by her father, familiarly known as the Old Squire, the chief landowner in that part of the country.
