"There's one thing I do wish," Florence said suddenly, after a time. "I wish we could find some way to use the c'lection that would be useful for Noble Dill." Now, at this, her cousin's face showed simple amazement. "What on earth you talkin' about?" "Noble Dill," she said dreamily. "He's the only one I like that comes to see Aunt Julia. Anyway, I like him the most." "I bet Aunt Julia don't!"
"How many times I got to tell you I had a hard enough time catchin' this c'lection, day in and day out, from before daylight till after dark, and then fixin' 'em all up like this and everything! I don't prapose to waste 'em just to suit Noble Dill, and I'm not goin' to give 'em away either. If anybody wanted to buy 'em and offered a good fair price, money down, why, I "
"Will you let me alone, child?" "No, no; I want the bug myself," cried Dotty, pricking Norah on the cheek. "Want the bug?" "Yes; mayn't I stick him through with a pin from ear to ear? I know a lady Out West that's making a c'lection of bugs." "Well, here he is, then; and a pretty scrape I've had catching him; thanks be to you all the same, Miss Dimple."
"I should think you would make a c'lection of different maps like Hope has in her book." Peace paused to consider the suggestion, and then answered, "Well, that's something I hadn't thought about. It would be better to have them all different, wouldn't it? I'll just hunt up some others that aren't alike. This United States one is too small, then; but maybe we can use it for something else.
The facts, so contrary, seemed to wear the aspect of deliberate malice, and she felt ill-used, especially as she had several physical grievances, due to her assistance in pouring part of the c'lection into the jars with tops. In spite of every precaution three or four of the liveliest items had made their escape, during this pouring, and had behaved resentfully.
"We took up a c'lection," was the startling answer. "A collection!" echoed Gail. "Yes. You know last Sunday was Home Mission day, and the money was to be sent to poor ministers' families on the pioneer " "You mean frontier," corrected Hope.
"I always know," the boy repeated slowly, and then, as though communing with himself, "yes, I always know," and, as to-day, there was that in William's voice that haunted and held Whimple, as it has done many since. But that comes later. William went on still dusting slowly. "Say, Mister Whimple, I mayn't be much, but the rest of the gang was the greatest c'lection er mutts you ever seen.
Atwater had smelled the smell of an Orduma cigarette and was just on the point of coming out to say some harsh things, when the c'lection interfered.
Of course poor Daniel has had nothing to eat, for he can't leave his bed without help, and even if he could, there isn't a morsel of food in the house." This story created much sympathy in the hearts of Polly's hearers. "Well now, messmates, what's to be done in this case?" asked Captain Samson, looking round. "Make a c'lection," said O'Rook.
But now there were no auditors, for Noble Dill and Newland Sanders, after thoughtlessly following a mutual and natural impulse to step over and examine the fallen basket, had both gone out to the street, where they lingered a while, then decided to go home. ...
