It was in vain that Blanche told her that a new doll would be as dear as the old one, the little girl refused to play, and her cherub face looked very sad, the dimples failing to show, because the smiles would not appear. "That bad boy, Gyp, has took it," she wailed. "Oh, Dollie, he might take a kite, or a ball from Harry, and Rob, but he wouldn't want a doll! Just think!
A middle-sized "Topsy" comes pushing rudely forward, tossing her head and whispering disagreeable things to those she has to pass, and Susy hopes she will not be brought into any closer relations with her, when she happens to see her tenderly fondling a broken-armed, broken-legged dollie, while her work is being adjusted, and thinks somewhat better of her.
I thought perhaps she never " "She never," said Aunt Olivia, briefly. Strange that at that particular instant she should remember a trifling incident in the child's far-off childhood. The incident had to do with a little, white nightgown rolled tightly and pinned together. She had found Rebecca Mary in her little waist and petticoat cuddling it in bed. "It's a dollie.
Oh, green old Mr. Toady Frog There's Blanche's teacher! I'll ask her, and p'raps she'll say 'yes." A slender young woman with a gentle, smiling face, came along the path, and stepped upon the bridge. She wondered who the tiny girl might be, until Dollie turned, and gave her a sunny smile.
Marjie, in a dainty white wool gown with a pink sash about her waist, and pink ribbons in her hair, had just gone from the kitchen with three or four admiring young fellows dancing attendance upon her. "How can anybody help lovin' her?" Dollie went on. Cam sighed, "O Lordy! A girl like her to marry that there pole cat! How can the Good Bein' permit it?"
Transients and regulars at the Cambridge House delighted in this Sabbath evening spread. "Land knows," Dollie Gentry used to declare, "if ever a body feels lonesome it's on Sunday afternoon between Sunday-school and evenin' service. Why, the blues can get you then, when they'd stan' no show ary other day er hour in the week.
The trail was always full of them coming and going. We hardly noted that for ten days Springvale had not been without them. "Come in, gentlemen," called Cam. "Here, Dollie, take care of these friends. O'mie, take their horses." They passed inside and the talk outside went eagerly on. "Father Le Claire, how do the Injuns feel about this fracas now?" inquired Tell Mapleson.
Peter's Tower, from which a blood-red flag now floated in the air. In a moment, from all the hitherto silent towers and steeples, the bells clashed out an alarm. 'That is the signal of an attempt to storm, said the Burgomaster; then concealing his own agitation as best he might, he hastened from the spot. 'A storm! said Dollie wonderingly to Conrad.
"Yes, I guess it will," she answered. "My dollie won't catch cold in a nice bed." "Did she catch cold before?" Bunny wanted to know. "Well, she had the sniffle-snuffles, and that's almost like a cold," Sue answered. In the second-sized tent the dining table had been set up, and the chairs put around ready for the first meal, which would be supper.
Similarly, when the fall approached and they would begin their long flight Southward, he would sometimes stand and scan the sky and trees in vain for a final glimpse of his feathered friends, and when in the gathering darkness they were no longer to be seen would turn away toward the house, saying sadly to his daughter: "Well, Dollie, the blackbirds are all gone. I am sorry.
