It was sorrow that did it! 'Oh! I see, said Nurse, smiling. 'Now don't talk any more, like a good boy. Bobby drew Nobbles' ugly smiling little head close to his.
Is I your little comfort?" "No," cried Susy, wavering between a smile and a tear; "no, indeed! To think of your being a comfort! O, my stars!" "Well, then," continued the little one, in a soothing, cooing tone, "then I never broked it; it broked itself!" So saying, she produced from the depths of her pocket the fragments of the gilt-edged toy.
"No no Miss Letty," replied the man hastily, "Ho! no, not dead, but goed away; nigh broked her heart when she losted you; git berry sick; t'ought she was go for die, but she no die.

"Ketch it, Tobe, ketch it don't let Aunt Viney's vase be broked," murmured Stonie as he turned on his side and buried his head still deeper in the pillow. "No, General, Aunt Viney's vase is not going to be broken, thank God," answered Everett under his breath as he turned away and left the General, who, even in sleep, carried his responsibilities sturdily.

The little fellow stopped crying and looked up at Jan, his eyes filled with tears. "My posy-tree is hurted," he said, holding a broken flower out to his sister. "Swing broked my posy-tree!" Trouble called any weed, flower or bunch of grass he happened to pick a "posy-tree." "Oh, I guess he isn't hurt," remarked Teddy. "If it's only a broken posy-tree I'll get you another," he said kindly.
