She knew the conductor was impressed, because he said, "You better watch Buddy's hat, ma'am." That "ma'am" pleased her profoundly; it caused her unconsciously to assume Miss Bell's tone and manner as she conversed with the back of Tommy's head. "We'll go out on the avenue," she said. "We'll go from house to house till I get work.
Well, Johnnie Bushytail was the pitcher, and he threw in such fine curves, and so many of them, that it was hard for Buddy and his friends to strike the ball. They did manage to hit it a little, and got three runs. Then it came the turn of Sammie Littletail's team again, and they got four runs, and so it went along until at the close of the game Sammie's team was eight runs and Buddy's only seven.
But those two! Pshaw! It was like they had known each other always. It was like 'Bob's' mother and me when we first met; her beautiful and fine and educated, and me rough and awkward. Only Buddy's a better boy than I was. He's got more in him. I s'pose all womenfolks have that mother feeling that makes 'em yearn over the unlikeliest fellers."
Of course not, and I know you understand how that is. Well, Buddy managed to catch that ball, though it came down very swiftly, and Jimmie Wibblewobble was out. "Fine catch, Buddy! Fine!" cried Billie Bushytail. "Yes, and now it's Buddy's turn to bat," said Bawly, the frog. "Get up, Buddy. I'll pitch you a nice one."
He was quite ill, really; I sat up with him most of " There was a longer hiatus then. "Hadn't we better argue that in Buddy's presence? Thank you. In five minutes, then." As he and Gray prepared to leave, Mallow said, sourly: "Margie is a good little dame, in her way, and I feel like a like a damned'stool."
All at once there was a whizzing and a whozzing in the air, and a buzzing, bizzing sound, and that kind old June bug came sailing along. He saw those bad boys taking Brighteyes away, and the bug knew at once that she was Buddy's sister. So what did he do but wiggle his wings about a thousand times a minute, I guess, and fly right at the boy who held the guinea pig girl!
Well, sir, the ball hit that bad fox right on the head, and it bounced up almost into Buddy's hands again, but not quite. My, how surprised that fox was! In fact he was so surprised that he fell down, and when he got up and saw Buddy looking at him from the window, he was more amazed than ever.
Pigg know what it was, but Buddy's mother and sister thought it was quite a pretty ornament, and Mrs. Pigg put it on the parlor mantle, where company could see it. Well, one day, not long after this, Dr. Pigg was home all alone, for his wife and the children had gone to a moving-picture show.
She took a piece of bark for her boat, and she found a nice, white chip for Buddy, and they made believe their boats were having a race down stream, and Buddy's boat won, which made him feel quite happy. Well, pretty soon, the sun began to go down behind the hills, and the two guinea pig children knew it was time to go home, so they started off.
Now, in case there is no salt in the ice cream to make the rag doll sneeze, I'll tell you in the following story about Brighteyes Pigg in a tin can. Buddy and Brighteyes would have told her, anyhow, for they always did, but, as it was, Mrs. Pigg saw a scratch on Buddy's leg, where the rope had hurt him when he fell, and she wanted to know all about it.
