The girls sat spellbound, and when, at the conclusion of the first story, a faint little wail sounded from the distance, the general start was indicative of tense nerves. But it was only Dorothy, awake and standing at the head of the stairs. "Aunt Peggy!" "Go back to bed, darling." "But, Aunt Peggy, what d'you s'pose those little angels have done now?

"Why, what do you know about pollies, old man?" "Pollies bite, I know they do. There was a polly bited Francis once." "Well, and pussies scratch," said Milly.
