"Why, he said, 'You won't dare follow me, and I said, 'Yes, I would. And I never mistrusted where he was going. Who'd have thought of his climbing top of a house?" "Why, Jamie Dunlee, you did not follow Nate without knowing where he was going?" "Yes, mamma; if I had known I wouldn't have followed. But you see he had stumped me and I'd taken the stump, so I was obliged to go!"
The days went on happily until Thursday afternoon, when "the Dunlee party," which always included the Hales and Sanfords, set forth up the mountain for a sight of the famous "air-castle." Of course Nate was with them, but this time not as a guide; the guide was Uncle James. The road, though rather steep, was not a hard one. Mr.
And then they went back to their dolls. Half an hour later Kyzie Dunlee was standing in the schoolhouse door with a group of children about her when Nate Pollard appeared.
Oh, see that Mexican dog, how straight his tail stands up!" "Like your hair," sighed Lucy. "If my hair would only be straight like that!" And neither of them smiled at this droll remark. "But there's one thing we must remember, Bab. I'm glad I thought of it. We must say, 'Miss' to Kyzie." "Miss what?" "Miss Dunlee. If we forget it, she'll feel dreadfully."
"And they had a school last summer," went on Kyzie, resolutely. "A young girl taught it who boarded where we do. Mr. Templeton said she did it for fun." "Indeed!" "But they didn't like her a bit. I could teach as well as she did anyway, mamma, for she just went around the room boxing their ears." "Is it possible, Katharine?" Mrs. Dunlee was serious enough now.
After the reading "Miss Dunlee" walked about with her blank-book in one hand and her pen in the other to take down the children's names. "I'm Joseph Rolfe; don't you remember me?" said the boy with red hair. "And this boy next seat is Chicken Little." "No, I ain't either, I'm Henry Small," corrected the little fellow, ready to cry.
Dunlee and the Sanfords walked on smiling, and the children lingered awhile outside; but it was a full minute before any of them discovered that the cheery voice belonged to a parrot, whose cage swung from a tall sycamore overhead. "Polly's pretty sociable," laughed Mr. Templeton. "Do you like animals, young ladies? If so, please stand up here in a group, and you shall have another welcome."
"You hadn't any business taking that watch." There was a pause. "Look here, Jimmy Dunlee, why don't you speak?" "Haven't anything to say." "Can't you say, 'I forgive you'?" "Of course I can't. You never asked me." "Well, I ask you now. James S. Dunlee, will you forgive me?" "H'm! I suppose I'll have to," replied Jimmy, firing a pebble at nothing in particular.
"No indeed, darling, your dinner shall be sent up to you. What would you like?" "No matter what, mamma I don't care for eating. I can't ever hold up my head any more. And as for going into that school again, I never, never, never will do it." "I think you will, my daughter," said Mr. Dunlee, quietly. "I think you'll go back and live this down and 'twill soon be all forgotten."
Dunlee was in rather poor health, and had been "ordered" to the mountains. The others were perfectly well and had not been "ordered" anywhere: they were going merely because they wanted to have a good time. "Papa would be so lonesome without us children," said Edith, "he needs us all for company." He was to have still more company. Mr. and Mrs.
