How the children shouted, and for a moment Tabitha's face was crimson with passion and she lifted a doubled-up fist threateningly; but before the expected blow fell, Tabitha's lips curved suddenly into a smile, her arm dropped to her side, and she gayly answered, "Yes, Mr. Ki-yip-ki-yi-yi, put on my blinders."
Their harness carried no blinders; their tails, undocked, swept the ground; but their heads were pulled into the air by the old stupid overhead check reins until their noses pointed almost straight ahead. It gave them rather a haughty air. Sherwood stepped in first, took the reins in one hand, and offered his other hand to his wife.
"When you're tying up calico with one hand and taking in eggs and butter with the other and telling three people the price of things at the same time," he explained, "you have to notice things like this." "I see," said Mr. Croker. "You try it, Blinders." "Aw, what's the matter with the way I was doin' it?" wailed Horace. "If you don't feel quite up to it " Mr. Croker hinted.
He was the poorer by a hundred and fifty pounds, but the richer in wisdom and experience; and he chuckled at the thought of this in the joy of knowing himself, in postscripts appended to those despatches of the Englishwoman's, to have poked sly sarcasm at the British Lion.

"Amen!" agreed Bobby. "Wait till she sees Bobby's knickers," chuckled Dora Lockwood. "You know Gee Gee always looks as though she wanted to put on blinders when she comes into the girls' gym."

"They'd be awfully shocked if you put it that way," said Miss Hicks; "and I wouldn't advise you to talk to them about it. Their notions of honor are so high that I had to pay for the lemonade for the independent men myself at the last election." "Oh, very well," says I, taking my hat, "we'll think it over." "You might wear blinders, you know," she suggested.
