Rosenberg, I'll give you " For a little while there was quite a scene at the little grocery, and it repented Mandoline that she had ever hidden Dotty's hat. The trundle-bed waked up at both ends and screamed; the black and tan dog, who slept under the counter in the store, barked lustily; the parrot in the blue cage called out, "Quit that! quit that!" and Mrs.
"It's just as well," said Dotty, with extreme dignity; "just precisely as well! I have one grandmamma who is a Quakeress, and she don't think much of little girls that wear rings. Ahem!" Jennie felt rather uncomfortable. She did not mind Dotty's anger, but her quiet contempt was another thing.
The table showed two great floral D's, one at either end. Dotty's was made of red roses, and Dolly's of pink roses. Every guest had as a souvenir, some pretty and valuable little trinket, and at every place was a small D made of flowers.
It wasn't at all the kind of day in which one would expect to find anybody in high spirits. But Dotty was. He was even singing as Peter came up, and all about Dotty's friends and relatives were twittering as happily and merrily as if it were the beginning of spring instead of winter.
Aren't you going to punish her, Mother?" "Oh, no; she didn't mean to be naughty. She was only mischievous. I'll mend your pillow, and the soiled one can be laundered." Dotty's anger was always quick to come and quick to go, and she smiled brightly, as she said, "all right. I'll forgive her this time, but she's got to stop that kind of teasing." "I'll speak to her," said easy-going Mrs.
"Well, do come over here and sit beside me, so I can be sure it's really you. How is your arm? Does it hurt you now? Oh, what a beautiful sling!" Dotty's left arm was in a large sling made of dark blue studded with silver stars and her whole dress was of red and white stripe. Her liberty cap was just like Dolly's own, and she wore white stockings and red slippers.
Dotty's paper was the same stripe, in soft greys; and her border was a design of pink roses and rosebuds. Dolly's woodwork was to be painted white and Dotty's light grey. The two sets of furniture were exactly alike, except that one was enamelled grey and one white.
"I s'pose she knows mother'll help her if I don't," said she to herself. Dotty's goodness ran on with a ceaseless flow till two o'clock, when that event took place which the children regarded as the most important one of the day that is, dinner. After the silent blessing, Mr. Parlin turned to his youngest daughter, and said, "Alice, do you know what Thanksgiving Day is for?"
"No," said Dotty, helping herself; "it's nectar; that's what Susy says they drink; now I remember." "Stop!" said a small voice in the ear of Dotty's spirit; "that is what I should call taking other people's things." "Poh!" said Dotty, sipping again; "it's grandpa's cow. When Jennie Vance takes cake, it's wicked, because because it is. This is only play, you know." Dotty took another draught.
She adored her brother and she decided that Dotty's brother was also worthy of consideration. She liked Bob's breezy offhand way which was not at all like Bert's gentle, kindly manner. But they were two awfully nice boys and she felt sure they were going to be friends. If only she could be up and around and have good times with them!
