It was a great honour and delight, and she had saved up so many questions to ask about various subjects that she had scarcely time to tell her about Mrs Dicks and the state of the charity-box. They had just begun to talk about it, when Mrs Hawthorne stopped at a house near their own home. "Oh, mother!" cried Penny in some dismay, "are we going to see Mrs Hathaway?"
"Why we leaves 'em alone an' goes to de nex' farm an' calls up K. C. an' tips off de dicks, see?" "Youse don't tink we'll get any o' dat five hun, do youse, wit de dicks in on it?" The other scratched his head. "No," he said, rather dubiously, after a moment's deep thought; "dey don't nobody get nothin' dat de dicks see first; but we'll get even with dese blokes, annyway."
There has only been foolish horse-play by the Toms, Dicks and Harrys who, having nowhere else to go, and nothing else to do, having, moreover, been joined by their female counterparts, have been enjoying themselves in their own way, for they have been "at play."

John Ward, the white Indian, led him and his daughter into it," I shouted. "God help and pity us!" he groaned. Then more calmly, "Ward came back from the woods this morning and said there were no signs of Indians." "He met them and talked with them, and planned how they should surprise you people. The warrior at the lick-block knew Dicks would discover him, so he showed himself and made his kill."
He was hail-fellow well-met with every Tom and Jack and Jim and Ben and Dick that strolled on the wharves, and astonished his father with minutest particulars of every ship, schooner, and brig in the harbor, together with biographical notes of the different Toms, Dicks, and Harrys by whom they were worked.
Penny felt quite angry with the farthing, for it was bright and new, and looked at the first glance almost like gold. "If you were a fairy farthing," she said, "you'd get yourself changed into gold on purpose to help Mrs Dicks; but it's no use waiting for that." That afternoon Penny was to go out with her mother, instead of walking with the other school-room children and the governess.
