Here yo' jacket an' cap; and here yo' saddle an' bridle Oh, you welcome; I dess tryin' to git shet of 'em so's I kin strak de tent." As I mounted, our wagonmaster rode by me, busy as a skipper in a storm. "Oh, here!" he cried, wheeled, and reaching something to me added, "that's your pass. Major Harper wants you as quick as you can show up. He says never mind the column, ride straight after him.
"Because," said I, pausing long enough to shake Toddie for trying to get my watch out of my pocket, "because they have bad little boys to bother them all the time, so their hair drops out." "I dess MY hairs is a-goin' to drop out pitty soon, then," remarked Toddie, with an injured air. "Harness the horses, Mike," I shouted. "An' the goat, too," added Budge.
Kenneth, although he was nearly four, was still The Baby to the family. His broad-brimmed hat hung down his back, held around his chin by its elastic, and his golden hair was rampant. His blue eyes were dancing with mischief, and his hands were clasped behind his back. "Dess what I dot?" he demanded, pausing at a safe distance, and looking up roguishly from under his long lashes.
"He ain't got no moustache whut you kin look at dess some blackish whut don' reach out mo'n halfway todes the bofe ends of his mouf." "Well," said Florence, "was Mr. Sanders the one gave her these Persian cats, Kitty Silver?" "I reckon." Mrs. Silver breathed audibly again, and her expression was strongly resentful.
How could he " "He beat hisse'f! He dess out-talk hisse'f! No, ma'am; I done hear him many an' many an' many's the time, but las' night he beat hisse'f." "What about?" "Nothin' in the wide worl' but dess thishere young li'l Noble Dills whut we talkin' about this livin' minute." "What started him?" "Whut start him?" Mrs. Silver echoed with sudden loudness. "My goo'niss!
"Let me det down, pease," said that young lady, the first remark she had made. "I tan walk all by myself. I am not a baby any more." "Will you hear her talk?" cried Katy, catching her up.

"It is getting late, dearie, and we must hurry home," she said. But Lois followed them down the path, crying, "Wait, lady, wait." She smiled up into Anne's face. "I dess want kiss sweet Honey one time," she said. "I ain't done kiss her yet." Then she pressed her lips on the lace-ruffled flounces and toddled back to the house.
"What have you there, baby? See what he has, Cricket, and tell him he mustn't have it," said Eunice. "Bring it to Cricket, baby," said that young lady, holding out her hand. "Dess what I dot," repeated the baby, edging off a little. Just then Zaidee appeared from the house. Kenneth immediately trotted off up the beach at the sight of her. She ran after him.
"Ally, Ally," resounds from several voices, "don't you tell." "No, I s'ant but you are going to have a New 'Ear's pesant, and so is mamma, and you can't dess what it is." "Can't I?" "No, and I s'ant tell you." "Now, Ally," said papa, pretending to look aggrieved. "Well, it's going to be somefin worked." "Ally, be careful," said Emma.
