The second morsel was bestowed; the tail wagged effusively; the name of Brownie became irrevocably associated with food, and a loving look and tone with favours to come. Thus a title and a friendship were established which endured through life and was terminated only by death. So trivial sometimes are the incidents on which the great events of life are hinged!
"It looks like a weather-vane," said Billy. "There's something printed on it," said Roly. "It says STOP," said the boy they called Nuts. "It says GO" said the boy they called Brownie. "I think," said Townsend, scrutinizing the approaching transport in his funny way, "I think, I think, it's a traffic sign. You don't see any automobiles in the canoe, do you?"
And though her aunt was always bent on keeping herself and everybody else at work, she did not now show any particular desire for breaking off Ellen from her studies; and was generally willing, when the work was pretty well done up, that she should saddle the Brownie, and be off to Alice or Mrs. Vawse. Though Ellen was happy, it was a sober kind of happiness the sun shining behind a cloud.
Now Hal an' Teddy could get on, but White Boots an' Ole Methusaleh'd have to stay off, an' Rover an' Brownie could go, but Wienerwurst couldn't see?" Marmaduke looked frightened at this at the very thought of Wienerwurst, his little doggie, trying to swim around in a terrible flood. "I'd hide him under my coat," he declared.
In spite of your red cheeks, you are a real brownie. Do you know what a brownie is?" "No, miss," said Huldah, with a shake of her head.

"Well, basket-sellers can be brownies too, especially when they come in to help and protect poor, helpless old people, and sell their baskets to give the money to those who need it.
Now behave well, little brownie!" he added, giving the animal a hearty slap on her round, glossy haunches. In the meantime the horse-dealer had mounted. With his gaunt figure, his short riding-jacket under the broad-brimmed, varnished hat, his yellow breeches over his lean thighs, his high leather boots, his large, heavy spurs, and his whip, he looked like a highwayman.
Well, the moon's full and your aunt and I'll not interrupt at least not till ten o'clock. No callers on a child like you after ten." "Oh, I don't think I'll be able to hold him that long." "Don't you fret, Brownie. But I mustn't make you vain. Coming along to the store?" "No. Tomorrow," said Susan. "I can finish in the morning.
"Boys! boys!" he shouted at the foot of the ladder, "the Brownie has come! and if he hasn't found my measure!" he added on returning to the kitchen; "this is as good as a day's work to me." There was great excitement in the small household that day. The boys kept their own counsel. The old Grandmother was triumphant, and tried not to seem surprised.
Bessie hesitated, and a flush rose in her dark face. "I suppose I must!" she answered, after a pause; "I always tell you everything Hugh, and I want your advice; but I don't know what you will think of me after you have read this letter." "Never mind; give it to me, Brownie.
The verdict came back: "They could be genuine, of course, but they also could have been easily faked by a ten year old with a Brownie camera." For a few weeks we forgot George Adamski. But then the press began to clamor at our gates. The news was leaking out of Southern California. George Adamski had talked to a Venusian!
