Soon his hand would make a movement; his foot pushed away the blanket, his whole body stirred, he rubbed an eye, stretched out his arms, and then his look from under his scarcely raised eyelids would rest on me. He would smile at me, murmuring softly, so softly that I would hold my breath to seize all the shades of his music. "Dood mornin', papa."
Tretherick with an embarrassed voice and a prodigious blush, looking down, and addressing the fiery curls just visible in the folds of her dress "do you think you will be 'dood' if I let you stay in here and sit with me?" "And let me tall you Mamma?" queried Carry, looking up. "And let you call me Mamma!" assented Mrs. Tretherick with an embarrassed laugh. "Yeth," said Carry promptly.
"Me's dood O dood! ah-o-ee-aw-ee!" The noise was bad enough, but the way he flung himself about was worse. There was no occasion for Sally to clean him up. Rolling thus on the green turf made him as pure, if not bright, as a new pin; but it had another effect, which gave Sally a fright such as she had never up to that time conceived of, and never afterwards forgot.
"How do you like that, eh?" he demanded, as he set the boy down on the sand again. "Dood!" the child replied, and gazing up at The Laird yearningly. "Are you my daddy?" But The Laird elected to disregard the pathetic query and busied himself gathering up the bundle of driftwood, nor did he permit his glance to rest upon Nan Brent's flushed and troubled face.
I have been told that there is a Rommany word much resembling soor, meaning the early star, but my informant could not give me its exact sound. Dood of the sala is the common name for Venus.

Now, look here, bred'ren, just try wonst to be cibil, a helping yourselbs from dat whale. Don't be tearin' de blubber out your neighbour's mout, I say. Is not one shark dood right as toder to dat whale? And, by Gor, none on you has de right to dat whale; dat whale belong to some one else.
"Quashy, my b'lubbed, I expecs you is," replied Susan, simply, passing her black fingers through her lover's very curly locks. "O Sooz'n, how I lubs you! I know'd I'd find you. I always said it. I always t'ought it, an' now I's dood it." "Das so," returned Susan, with a bashfully pleased look. "I always know'd it too.
"I 'earned it from Allie," said Mamie, "and she has been teaching me this 'ong, 'ong time; but dey told me I was not to 'et papa know till I had dot it dood." "Well, Allie," said her father, "you come and give me your piece, and then I will hear my little Mamie."
But Charlie refused to be comforted. He flung himself on the grass in agony of spirit, to the alarm and grief of his poor nurse. "Me's dood?" he cried, pausing suddenly, with a blaze of inquiry in his wet visage. "Yes, yes, good as gold gooder, far gooder!" Sally did not possess an enlightened conscience at that time.
