Me and Nobbles finked we heard them say, "Run away; you've no business here."
He grinned, made a dart in the opposite direction, and was soon lost to view. The children walked home soberly, but their astonishment was great when they were going up the flight of steps that led indoors to turn and find Curly standing behind them. 'You are a funny boy, said Bobby; 'I finked you had gone home. 'I wish he had, muttered Margot; 'there's no trusting these sort.
"It is a family failing, this getting out of bed at wrong times. Demi used to do it; and as for me, I was hopping in and out all night long. Meg used to think the house was on fire, and send me down to see, and I used to stay and enjoy myself, as you mean to, my bad son."

Bond Saxon is not a man to hate anybody when he is sober." "Is you Don Fonnybone?" Bug Buler's little piping voice from the doorstep haled the Dean. "I finked Vic would turn, and he don't turn, and I 's hungry for somebody. May I go wis you, Don Fonnybone?" The baby lips quivered.

I wish I knew what I could do," she added wistfully, her cheek resting on Poppy's curls. "I'll try and fink of something for you," said Poppy gravely. "P'r'aps by the morning I'll have finked of something very nice then won't you be glad?"
He spoke to him with a twinkle in his eye. 'Will you promise me not to put marbles in my boots to-morrow morning? Bobby started; then he chuckled. 'You finked it was Nobbles. I needn't hide from peoples now. Me and Nobbles can walk over the house, where we likes. Aunt Is'bel says so.
