A sort of white flower grew there, which the children called Pollypods, because they didn't know the real name. They staid a long while picking bunches of these flowers, and then John and Dorry had to grub up an armful of sassafras roots; so that before they had fairly gone through Toadstool Avenue, Rabbit Hollow, and the rest, the sun was just over their heads, and it was noon.
"Yes," went on Elsie, "and you know Dorry held his in his mouth for ever so long, and then went round the corner of the house and spat it out! Papa said he had a good mind to make him take another spoonful, but he remembered that after all Dorry had the bad taste a great deal longer than the others, so he didn't. I think it was an awful punishment, don't you?"
He laid a wrinkled finger on his lips; his dark face quivered with mystery and emotion. "One li'l bare arm," he repeated, "an' I see de sign!" "What sign?" I stammered. "De bride-sign on de ring-finger! Yaas, suh. An' I say, 'Whar yo' ring, Miss Dorry? An' she 'low ain' nebber wore no ring. An' I say, 'Whar dat ring, Miss Dorry?
She went on with her breakfast in sulky silence. "What are you all going to do to-day?" asked Dr. Carr, hoping to give things a more cheerful turn. "Swing!" cried John and Dorry both together. "Alexander's put us up a splendid one in the wood-shed." "No you're not," said Aunt Izzie in a positive tone, "the swing is not to be used till to-morrow. Remember that, children. Not till to-morrow.
I bet she'll think you're sweet. Only come ahead and let's get to camp." "Unanimously carried by a large majority," Dorry Benton said. "Mysteries aren't going to buy tar-paper for our old car." "There might have been a thousand dollars in this wallet," Pee-wee reminded them. "Except for one thing," Roy said. "And what's that?" Pee-wee asked. "That there wasn't," Roy said.
Bartley laughed and patted Jimmy's shoulder something that Jimmy utterly detested, but suffered nobly, under the circumstances. "You earned that gun and thank you for fetching Miss Dorry to town." "Huh! I didn't fetch her. She fetched me. Uncle Frank was comin', but Dorry said she just had to get some things " "Jimmy, please don't point that gun at the horses." Bartley felt better.
Dorry has too much good sense, and has seen too much of the world among business men to be easily shocked. And our little Sunday service is very nice, I think; Geoff reads so reverently, and for sermons, we have our pick of the best there are." "I know, and I like them dearly myself; but I seem to feel that Dorry will miss the pulpit and sitting in a regular pew.
Aunt Izzie at once began to undress her, and while doing so asked so many questions, that before long she had got at the truth of the whole matter. She gave Clover a sharp scolding, and leaving her to wash her tearful face, she went to the bed where John and Dorry lay, fast asleep, and snoring as conspicuously as they knew how.
We ain't goin' to stay in Laramie all the time. Dad says if things rib up right, me and ma and him are comin' back to live in the valley. Don't you wish you was goin', Dorry?" "You run along and tell Aunt Jane we're coming," said Bartley. Little Jim hesitated. But then, Mr. Bartley had bought him that new rifle.
But if I were you, I'd carry it down to Wetherell's first of all, and talk it over with them. Together you could hit on just the right thing. Don't you think so?" "Perhaps," said Dorry; "yes, I think I will." Then he departed with the clock under his arm, while Clover called after him teasingly, "Lunch at 132 o'clock; don't forget!" "No, I won't!" said Dorry.
