And Jim would torment it and plague you continually. And you know I wouldn't let Jim's little dog come in the house." "But so many people do have cats." "There's hardly room with so many folks. You wait until Christmas and see what Santa Claus brings you," said her mother cheerily. There came a little snow and the boys brought out their sleds.
Then Beth and Fred composed a letter together which Beth wrote and they both signed: DEAR LUCY TILLAGE: The turkey brought the letter safely to us and we wanted to be Santa Claus ourselves and so send the doll and the other things for a Christmas present to you and your brother and the baby. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
There was ice cream, actually two dishes of it, pink and white, and cake and fruit and distracting French bonbons and, in the middle of the table, four great bouquets of hot house flowers. It quite took their breath away, and they stared first at the table and then at their mother, who looked as if she enjoyed it immensely. "Is it fairies?" asked Amy. "Santa Claus," said Beth. "Mother did it."
The helpless flakes stumbled against his eyes and dimmed his sight, but he rubbed them away and looked again. Snow was everywhere, white and glittering. It covered the earth and filled the air. The cry was not repeated. Claus turned to go back into the house, but the wind caught him unawares and he stumbled and fell across a snowdrift.
"Sandy Claus," he answered readily. Mis' Winslow stood looking down at him. Pep stepped nearer. "We're doing it for little Emily," he said confidentially.

"You were going to suggest that I go and see this doctor. Is that right?" "Well," Santa Claus said, seeming oddly embarrassed, "it can't hurt, you know. And it might help. Really it might. And then ... then you might not have to ... have to be the way you are, and do what you do." Charley took a long breath. "I'll think about it," he said, in the very politest tone he could manage.
"Hurrah for Jappy!" cried Santa Claus, pulling his beard; and "Hurrah for Jasper!" went all around the room; and this ended in three good cheers Phronsie coming in too late with her little crow which was just as well, however! "Do your duty now, Santa Claus!" commanded Dr. Fisher as master of ceremonies; and everything was as still as a mouse!
Does thee remember, Alice, how thee used to sit on his knee and comb his hair with a toothpick?" "I don't think 'twas me," said Dotty; "for I wasn't born then." "It was I," replied Prudy. "I remember grandpa now, but I didn't use to. It wasn't grandpa I dreamed about it was Santa Claus." Grandma smiled, and raised her spectacles to the top of her forehead.
