When Doddy was five, and had to attend school, Bildy would watch with the utmost patience the road by which the child had to return, until he caught sight of the tiny figure in the distance; then he would run to meet Doddy with every demonstration of joy, pick him up, set him on his shoulder, and amble off up the hill to the cottage.
Doddy, after the danger was over, went every night to the stage-side, and cried at the distress of poor Cleone. * Mr. Garrick BOSWELL. Mr. Dodsley, the Authour of Cleone. 'I have left off housekeeping, and therefore made presents of the game which you were pleased to send me. The pheasant I gave to Mr. Richardson,* the bustard to Dr.
As long as they kept near to the place upon which they had first set foot all was well; but security made them venturesome. They started a game of shinty, and threw themselves into the sport with fervor. Bildy, partly hidden behind the bushes which skirted the water, watched the game with interest, his eyes on his beloved Doddy.
Daddy go in boat! Two Doddy go in boat and sail Daddy far, far away!" The two little arms waved as if indicating a journey round the world, and the baby face beamed so coaxingly that Dolly couldn't resist it. "We'll go down to the shore," she said, "and Gladys can paddle her hands in the water; that will be nice." "Ess!" and the baby danced with glee as the three went down to the lake.
Sometimes other children, attracted by Doddy, would come to join in the games, and often drove poor Bildy away. He would slink off, the picture of misery, and make his way home, biting his hand his only sign of displeasure.
It was not a difficult matter to get the two out of the water safely; indeed, any one more sensible than poor Bildy could have lifted the child onto thicker ice, after wading some paces in the water. Both were shivering with cold and drenched with water, which froze on their clothes during their hurried progress home to bed. The after-effects were not serious, as far as Doddy was concerned.
The diminutive, in Bildy's phraseology, implied depreciation; that was why he stigmatized a regular six-footer as a "monnie." When Doddy came to Ardmuirland, Bildy discovered his real vocation! Doddy or, in English, Georgie was the orphan child of Robina's sister.
The child laughed and crowed, and as her language was limited she called both the girls Doddy, and beamed on them both impartially. Herself she called Daddy, being unable to achieve her own name. "Two Doddies take Daddy saily-bye!" she cried, waving her fat hands toward the lake. "Oh, no," said Dolly; "Daddy go saily-bye when Jack comes home." "No! no wait for Dak! Daddy 'ant to go saily now!
David and Doddy have had a new quarrel, and, I think, cannot conveniently quarrel any more. Cleone was well acted by all the characters, but Bellamy left nothing to be desired. I went the first night, and supported it, as well as I might; for Doddy, you know, is my patron, and I would not desert him. The play was very well received.
Suddenly, while he looked on, Doddy disappeared, and a shout of terror arose from the other boys, who were too full of fear to do much toward helping the unfortunate child, though one or two slid down prostrate and tried to crawl to the hole into which Doddy had fallen, in order to help him out with their sticks. It remained for Bildy to come to their assistance.
