At least it came slowly enough for everyone to see that it was coming directly toward the brass cannon. The Bradleys certainly saw this, for they ran as fast as they could, and kept on running. The ball caught the cannon under its mouth and tossed it in the air, knocking the flagpole into a dozen pieces, and passing on through two of the palm-covered huts.
"She suggested it, and I merely said that I thought SOMETIME it would be fun " "Oh, well, if you plan a thing and then go back on it " This led nowhere. In silence the Bradleys would finish their dressing, in silence descend to the joyous uproar of the cars. But Nancy despaired of the possibility of ever impressing Bert, through a dignified silence, with a sense of her displeasure.
Bradley, sensing something of all this, were very unhappy and cast about desperately for some way to give their boy and girl the advantages that the others would have. But money was very tight. Mr. Bradley had all his cash tied up in several real estate transactions. So for a little while the Bradleys were not a happy family although they tried bravely not to show it, even to each other.
Perkins changed their minds about the French nurse, and it came about in this way: "Thaddeus," said Bessie, after the Bradleys had departed, "what is the tile of a rockin'-'orse?" "I don't know.

The initiative honour in this respect belongs to Bailly.
Albert did not reply to this, but ran across the plaza followed by the two Bradleys. The boats had gone. "Hoist that flag beside the brass cannon," he cried, "and stand ready to salute it when I drop this one."
