He loaded the Secretary Slick with gifts and favors, and seeing that his Majesty was graciously pleased to smile on me, his ward, he would be at much pains to flatter me, calling me his "golden hair" or "Blue-eyes;" and enjoin it on me that I should make mention of him to the King as his Majesty's most faithful servant, ever ready for any sacrifice in his service, at the same time he asked with a grin how it would pleasure me to hear Herdegen called by the name and title of Baron von Schopper-Im Hoff?
"Oh, oh!" cried Blue-Eyes, when we reached the log. "I'll be sure to get dizzy and fall off." "Nonsense!" said Black-Eyes, bravely, and walked over without winking. "I shall never never dare!" screamed Blue-Eyes. "Allow me to assist you, miss," I said, in my best style, going on the log and reaching out my hand to steady her.
Oh, tell it to me, Oh, how can it be, This Spell of the Blue-Eyes Fairy. Well, the eyes must be blue, And the heart must be true, And the child must be better than gold; And then, if you'll let her, The quicker the better, She'll make you forget that you're old, That you're heavy and stupid, and old!
I stood ready for the fatal leap. As she screamed, I slightly raised my hand: "Silence, Aunt Jerusha, and receive my parting instructions. Tell Blue-Eyes that I love her madly, but not to blame herself for my untimely end. The ruin of her dress was only the last drop in the cup the last straw on the camel's back.
Its unfortunate owner, with a look which nearly annihilated me, fled up-stairs to her apartment. Nor was my discomfiture then ended. That Spitz that precious Spitz belonged to Blue-Eyes; I tried to coax him to relinquish his game; he would not be persuaded, and, in the ardor of his pursuit, he swallowed the cruel hook.
I think a ghastly pallor must have overspread my face as I stood motionless, grasping the server in my clenched hands. What do you think Blue-Eyes said? This is the way she "gave me fits." Looking up prettily to my aunt, she says: "Oh, madam, I am so sorry for your carpet." "Your dress!" exclaimed Aunt Jerusha. "Never mind that, madam. It can go to the laundry."

"It may be so," returned the other, lightly, "nevertheless I will live in the hope of seeing the interests of peace more intelligently advanced than they have been of late; and if the system which I suggest is not found to be the best, I will rejoice to hear of a better, and will do my best to advocate it in the Evergreen Isle. But now I must go; Blue-eyes and Cyprus await me. Farewell."
Then in this "unfenced garden" were also the baby blue-eyes, whose pretty pale-blue blossoms come early in the spring, each one with a drop of honey at the foot of its honey path, as the black lines on its petals are called. Can you name twenty kinds of wild flowers?
He was a roughly-dressed fellow, with a straw hat such as farmers wear, whose broad brim nearly hid his face. He sauntered up impudently, and, before we could pass him, he chucked Blue-Eyes under the chin. In less than half a second he was flying backward over the rail fence, although he was a tall fellow, more than my weight.
