"It is invested in such a way that it is earning you more money every year; and more than that, it was left in trust for you, so that it cannot be touched until you are twenty-one." "Oh, papa!" cried Malcolm, bitterly disappointed. He had hard work to keep back the tears for a moment; then a happy thought made his face brighten.

It's only in fun, Sue," for Mrs. Brown did not want to see Bunny disappointed. "All right. You can take her, but don't hit her too hard," said Sue. "I won't," promised her brother.
