So we roundly snubbed the pleasant-faced Danny and his family whenever we had a chance, and the fellows at school used to bully Terence, the son, most atrociously.
I feel very badly about it." Danny did, too, for though he was not a very good boy, his heart was in the right place, and with a little more care he might have been a different character. There was, however, hope for him. "You must be punished for this," went on Mr. Rugg, "and this punishment will be that you are not to have the motor boat I promised you for next Summer.
Instead, he squatted down on the grassy bank between the sidewalk and the billboard and feasted his eyes on that delightfully extravagant elephant which seemed almost to wink at him. Jerry half expected to see the elephant grab the moon and balance it on the end of his trunk, or toss it up into the sky and catch it again as it fell. "Come on, Jerry, if you want the core," called Danny again.
When Danny came back, not having gone to a watery grave after all, and the lost fortune was found, Mary Louise again stood the test of being rich and beloved. "Nothing can spoil our Mary Louise," Josie O'Gorman declared, and Irene Macfarlane smiled from her wheel chair.
She nodded to Danny, who said: "All right, whoever's counted out will be the audience. You count out, Nora." Starting with Danny and pointing to a child in rotation with each word, Nora chanted and counted: "'One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. All good children go to heaven. O-u-t spells out." Her finger was pointing at Jerry. "Jerry's out!" cried Celia Jane, skipping about.
The former said, shortly: "If you make a move I'll brain you!" "That's me," seconded Mr. Broad. "Lift a finger, Danny, and we go to the mat." Royal regarded the two men searchingly. "D'you think I'll let you people stick me up?" he queried. "You're stuck up!" the Countess declared, shortly. "Make sure of this I'm not bluffing. I'll shoot.
You don't know enough about the Great World to take care of yourself." But Grandfather Frog was set in his ways, and nothing that Danny Meadow Mouse could say changed his mind in the least. "I started out to see the Great World, and I'm going to keep right on," said he. "All right," said Danny at last. "If you will, I suppose you will. I'll go a little way with you just to get you started right."
Then you can restrain me if I get too violent." Dave Darrin took his uniform cap down from the nail and put it on with great deliberation. Next, he picked up his whisk broom, flecking off two or three imaginary specks of dust. "Now, I guess we can go along, Danny boy," he remarked, in a tone of ominous quietness. "Where are you headed?" murmured Dalzell, as they reached the room door.
They asked their father that night if any of the railroad men had seen their pet, but he said none had, and added: "I'm afraid you'll have to get along without Snoop. He seems to have disappeared. But, anyhow, you have Snap." "But some one may come along and claim him," said Freddie. "That Danny Rugg says he belongs to Mr. Peterson in Millville, father," said Bert. "Well, I'll call Mr.
"What's wrong with it?" asked Danny. "I bet you couldn't do any better." "What's wrong with it!" exclaimed Darn. "Ask me what's right with it. Everything's wrong with it." "It looks like the picture of the el'funt almost," defended Jerry. "It looks as much like that as I do like a giraffe."
