And then when I was in the field he called me, but I couldn't find him, and nurse said 'Nonsense. And to-day he called me again, so I camed up through the bushes. And mayn't I come again?

"My name's Master Phil, and I want that cuckoo," answered the little boy. "He camed up this way. I'm sure he did, for he called me all the way." "He's not here," said Griselda, shaking her head; "and this is my aunts' garden. No one is allowed to come here but friends of theirs. You had better go home; and you have torn your clothes so."
"Well," faltered Dotty, "she wanted to come her own self. She said she wished I'd stay to home, so, of course I camed!" "I'll tell you how it is," said Susy, thoughtfully. "That queer old Abner's nowhere to be seen. I suppose he's in the cornfield, or the meadow, or the barn. It's after five; and what will aunt Martha think?
She threw her chubby arms about her mother's neck, saying, "Is I your little comfort, mamma? I camed in the hoss and carriage. S'an't give Prudy no supper will you? 'Cause Prudy runned away!" "I should not have allowed this child to come," said Mrs. Parlin, at the tea table; "but cousin Percy always picks up the stray babies, and gives them a ride."

She considered her birth an honor to the state. "But where did you come from, Katie? That's what we mean." "I camed from heaven," said the child, with one of her wise looks. "Beats all, don't she?" cried Mr. Brooks, admiringly. "Looks like an angel, I declare for't. Did you just drop down out of the sky?"
No, she wasn't quite alone in the world after all, for there was Charlie Gray at the gate. "Is um you?" she cried gleefully. Charlie said it was. "You didn't came to see big folks did you? You camed to see Katie. I love you deely." Then she tried to kiss him; but Charlie drew away. "O, is your face sore?" asked the little girl.
