"How is Mother?" she said, "and how are Snowball and Fluff and Muff?" "Everyone is well," said Daddy, "and I have a grand surprise for you." "What is it, Daddy?" cried little Dot. Betty and Peggy came near to listen too. "That's telling," laughed Daddy. "I'd rather show you when we get home." "May Betty and Peggy go with us?" he asked the two mothers.
I was thinking of all this, and wondering if I might speak frankly to you when you were singing those songs. That is the reason I did not applaud you, or say thank you, or anything else commonplace." "I understand now," said Fluff. "I'm very glad. I was puzzled at first, and I thought you rude. Now I quite understand." "Thank you, Fluff; if I may sit by your side I will tell you the whole story.
Now and then the road came out into an open space, and there would be many violets growing close to the roadside. Then the girls sprang from the cart and gathered handfuls of the fragrant blossoms, while Fluff nibbled at the grass, or twisted his head to watch his young mistress.
She thinks she's a beauty, and she thinks we're all impressed with the fact." "She is pretty." "I don't think so. I don't call any girl pretty who's so struck with herself that she can't get by a mirror without a glance and a pat of that big fluff of front hair. You don't catch Eveyln looking into a glass or acting as if she thought everybody was about to fall in love with her.
Upstairs Vassie was tying her hair brushed out now into a short, crimped fluff that made her look more like an angel than ever with the blue ribbon; while Archelaus and Tom greased their locks with the remains of Tom's stolen butter. Soon Annie and John-James also went upstairs to prepare themselves for the feast, and the kitchen grew slowly dark.
The rain continued to come down in small drops, that remained on the hair, the beards, and the fluff of the men's rough coats. The peasants looked at "the master," waiting for him to speak, and he was so abashed that he could not speak.
He saw on the first page a picture of two rotten trees, while on these trees was suspended a jade girdle. There was also a heap of snow, and under this snow was a golden hair-pin. There were in addition these four lines in verse: Bitter thy cup will be, e'en were the virtue thine to stop the loom, Thine though the gift the willow fluff to sing, pity who will thy doom?
At last she could see an open space ahead, and the dark line of the river; and at the same moment she heard the sound of trotting feet on the road behind her and a little gray figure ran swiftly by. "That was Fluff! I know it was Fluff," she exclaimed, and called loudly after the pony.
The country passed on our drive was unusually fine, with its groves of palms and plantains; its tall cottonwood-trees by the road-side, the ripe pods on the bare branches bursting and showing the soft, white fluff within; its giant mango-trees with bonfires built beneath them, as a quick method of ripening the fruit for market.
"I wish you could, darling. I will tell you where I am going to-morrow or next day. It is possible that I may not go, but it is almost certain that I shall." "Oh, I trust, I hope, I pray that you will not go." "Don't do that, Fluff, for that, too, means a great trouble. Oh, yes, a great trouble and desolation. Now, dear, I really must talk to you about your own affairs.
