Mac toiled up the stairs and into his mother's room. "I fought maybe you wanted to see me," he observed. "What for you putting all vose fings into ve box?" "Because we are going to see grandpapa and Aunt Teddy, and then we are all going to the seashore." "What is ve seashore?"

It did not take John long to get out and lift the little runaway up to the seat beside him, and Bobby was soon being driven home with a crestfallen unhappy face. 'Everybodies always stops me when I want to do fings! he complained to Nurse when she took him to task for being so naughty. And Nurse was so angry with him that she made him stand in the corner till teatime.

We dot fings to eat same as dem," and proudly she displayed a very dirty bag, the opening of which disclosed a rather jumbled collection of bread and butter, and cookie crumbs. "An' I dot a gun to shoot bad bears," went on Paul, shouldering a wooden article, that, by a wide stretch of the imagination could be seen to somewhat resemble a musket.

"I fink I could," he replied, "because, you see, her eyes are like ve brownie's all soft and queer" he smiled engagingly at Phyllis "but yours" he turned to Janet "have all kinds of funny little gold fings that make vem all shiny. But I couldn't tell you apart if you shut your eyes, I don't fink." "Oh, Donald, you're a great boy!" Phyllis laughed.

"We have news for you, wonderful news." He left the 'phone, grinning. "I guess Mother had her hat on before she hung up the receiver," he laughed. "She didn't even wait to say good-by." "No wonder," Auntie Mogs said, her lips brushing Don's gold hair. "I want my daddy," Don announced. "I want to tell him lots of fings about that bad mans and that silly old woman who said she was my nurse.

"You don't understand, my poor child!" There followed a brief pause. "P'ease, daddy," pleaded Marian presently, "Ma-an must see mammy. Dere's such pitty fings in se shops, and me 'ants to do with mammy to see dem in morning." The shops were already displaying their Christmas decorations. Marian's father gave a great gasp.

"Not a sign of them!" said Barbara now, coming from the window to the fire, and loosening her furs as she sat down opposite Julia. "Is he asleep?" she added in a cautious undertone. "Not he!" answered Julia, with a kiss for her son. "He's just lying here and finking 'bout fings! I don't know where the others can be," she went on, in evident reference to Barbara's vigil at the window.

"Good little girls and bad little girls, and fings like that." "My darling, no, of course not. I told it wrong. Beauty asked for a rose because she loved roses so. And it was a very particular kind of red rose that she wanted a sort that they simply COULDN'T get to grow in their own garden because of the soil." "Go on telling me," said Margery, with a deep sigh of content.

"I was only djust reatchin for a pieshe of bwed," sobbed Toddie, "an' then the bad old tabo beginded to froe all its fings at me, an' tumble down bang."

Nobody will ever know how it happened, but she slipped away and got into the little cottage around the corner. There was a child there that she had taken a fancy to from seeing it at the window whenever she passed. "Nobody can find out how long she was there, or what the two children did. She says that they played party and had 'good fings' to eat that they 'finded' by themselves.
