I know'd you by de faver; but how you know me?"
"When my faver comes home I'll ask him to give you lots of money, Mother 'Odesia," said Diana. She closed her eyes as she spoke, and in another moment was once again slumbering peacefully. When little Diana next opened her eyes all was completely changed. She was no longer in the funny cart with the straw.

It's only now and then, and when you're bigger you'll do it too. Your father meant it's not good for little boys." "Ah!" said Wee Willie Winkie, now fully enlightened. "It's like ve sputter-brush?"
