And two great big lovely big tears coursing down his cheeks. It was all no use soothering him with no, nono, baby, no and telling him about the geegee and where was the puffpuff but Ciss, always readywitted, gave him in his mouth the teat of the suckingbottle and the young heathen was quickly appeased.
This hat will just turn 'em green greener than ever." "You're just horrid, Ciss!" said Piney, with admiration. "And then," continued Cissy, "we'll just sail down past the new block to the parson's and make a call." "Oh, I see," said Piney archly. "It'll be just about the time when the new engineer of the mill works has a clean shirt on, and is smoking his cigyar before the office."
"Yah! coward!" was yelled after him, and a lump of sandy iron-stone struck him full in the back, making him wince; but he did not stop, only dodged in and out among the pine-trees, taking what he believed to be the right direction for the village. Then he ran faster, for he heard his assailant's voice urging on the dog. "Ciss!
"Give it to me," growled Pete, "or I'll half smash yer." "You touch me if you dare!" cried Tom fiercely. "Bravo! ciss! Have it out!" cried Sam, clapping his hands and hissing, with the effect of bringing the dog trotting up, after doing a little hunting on its own account. "You give me that bit of string back, or I'll set the dog at yer," cried Pete.
Did I mention that Ciss wrote an account of you in the letter just after she had reached Rome?" Miriam made an involuntary movement as if to withdraw her hand, but overcame herself before she had succeeded. "How did she come to know me so quickly?" was her question, murmured absently. "From Mrs. Spence, it seemed. Come, tell me what you have been doing this long time. You have seen Greece too.
"That is a distinction which repeats your distrust. We won't say any more about it. I will bear in mind my want of experience, and in future never act without consulting you." She moved towards the door. "You are coming?" "Look here, Ciss, you are not so foolish as to misunderstand me.
Presently he released her hand, after patting it, and moved restlessly in his chair; then he looked at his watch, and compared it curiously with the clock on the mantelpiece. "Ciss," he began suddenly, and at once with a laugh corrected himself "Miriam, I mean." "What?" "I forget what I was going to say," he muttered, after delaying.
His look was as different as could be from that she had last seen on his face; he came towards her with his pleasantest smile, and first kissed her hand, then embraced her in the old way. "You haven't been anxious about me, Ciss?" "Not at all," she replied quietly, rather permitting his caresses than encouraging them. "Some one I hadn't met for several years.
She seems very much to be pitied, and I'm really sorry that I caused you to break with her." Cecily watched him as he spoke, and he avoided her eyes. He was holding her hands and fondling them; now he bent and put them to his lips. She said nothing. "Suppose you write to her, Ciss, and say that I made a fool of myself. You're quite at liberty to do so.
On the beeoteetom, laughed Cissy merrily. Gerty MacDowell bent down her head and crimsoned at the idea of Cissy saying an unladylike thing like that out loud she'd be ashamed of her life to say, flushing a deep rosy red, and Edy Boardman said she was sure the gentleman opposite heard what she said. But not a pin cared Ciss.
