"You can perform a great and a signal service for your loving brother. He's in terrible trouble!" "What's wrong, Danny?" Eliza's anger gave instant place to solicitude. "You you haven't STOLEN anything?" "Lord, no! What put that into your head?" "I don't know except that's the worst thing that could happen to us. I like to start with the worst." "I can't sulk in the jungle any more.
Everybody was for him. Even Rivera's own seconds warmed to something akin to cheerfulness when Danny ducked jauntily through the ropes and entered the ring. His face continually spread to an unending succession of smiles, and when Danny smiled he smiled in every feature, even to the laughter-wrinkles of the corners of the eyes and into the depths of the eyes themselves.
The keeper put up a little ladder against the elephant's side and Whiteface ran lightly up it and deposited Jerry on a cushioned seat that ran around the little house on Sultana's back that he called a howdah. Then he helped Mrs. Bowe up and sat down by her. The keeper had taken the ladder away when Jerry again saw Danny and Chris looking up at him in envy.
Then Danny laughed irreverently again. "Sure, an' you certainly do look like the real thing now." Maxwell was raking gravel when the guests for the afternoon tea were passing; and though he did not look up, he fully realized that they had recognized him, from the buzz of talk and the turning of heads.

Big Danny, with trembling hands, took the roll of bills from Beryl's purse. They were undisputable proof of her story. "Moira girl, 'tis true!" Big Danny's voice trembled. "'Tis Father Murphy's blessing," whispered Mrs. Lynch, a strange light in her eyes. "May I be worthy of it!" Then she roused and laughed, a tinkling laugh. "Ah my girl shall have her music, now! Oh, it's too wonderful."
Happy Jack Squirrel told Chatterer the Red Squirrel; Chatterer told Striped Chipmunk, and Striped Chipmunk told Danny Meadow Mouse.
He'd have Danny ready for her and would have ridden him enough to remind him that his long frisky vacation was at an end. They were very close together and very happy just then, when a laughing voice broke in upon their dreamings. 'Isn't he the most adorable lover in the world? But look out for him, my dear child. He nearly broke my heart once. Hello, Al! Sorry I couldn't come up with you.
"Well, I'll see you later," spoke Charley. He had once been quite friendly with Danny, but he grew not to like his ways, and so became more chummy with Bert, who was very glad, for he liked Charley. The two boys went on to Bert's barn, where they were going to build the bob sled. The girls, with Flossie and Freddie, went on the Bobbsey lawn, where there were some easy chairs.
