"I know you understand as much about the car as I do, but I always feel that I ought to have a life preserver on when any mere girl including myself is at the helm of such a powerful craft." Bess laughed and replied lightly. She had perfect confidence in her ability to guide the Flyaway, as they had christened the new car.
I'm glad I had my eyes put out, for if they hadn't been put out I shouldn't have come here." "Where should you have gone, then?" "I shouldn't have gone anywhere; I should just have staid at home." "Don't you like to stay at home?" Emily shrugged her shoulders. "My paw killed a man." "I don't know what a paw is," said Dotty. "O, Flyaway Clifford, you've broken a teapot!"
Seeing that my efforts to annoy him failed, I gave in, and we were soon done, and then started for the river Mr Beecham clad in a khaki suit and I in a dainty white wrapper and flyaway sort of hat. In one hand my host held a big white umbrella, with which he shaded me from the hot rays of the October sun, and in the other was a small basket containing cake and lollies for our delectation.
"Say not so, good Willis; when once you have tried Lightfoot or Flyaway, you would never wish to travel otherwise: they run so fast that the wind is fairly distanced, and scarcely give us time to breathe it is delightful." "Thank you, but I would rather try and get the canoe to travel on land."
"But you'll want a chaperone for them." "Why so?" "Propriety requires it; and so does ordinary prudence. Louise, I know, will be discreet, for it is her nature; but Patsy is such a little flyaway and Beth so deep and demure, that without a chaperone they might cause you a lot of trouble." Uncle John grew red and his eyes flashed.
Katie came and peeped in with her, opening her small mouth and drawing her lips over her teeth, as her grandfather did when he shaved. "See, Flyaway, you haven't any dimples at all!" said Dotty, primping a little. "Your hair isn't smooth and curly like mine; it sticks up all over your head, like a little fan." "O, my shole!" sighed Flyaway, scowling at herself.
"Shtop!" cried Flyaway; "I's a-talkin'. Does um see we?" "O, I don' know, Fly Clifford; you'll have to ask the minister." Flyaway squeezed the water from Dinah's ragged feet, and dropped her under the table, headache and all. Then she tipped over the goblet, and flew to the window.
"My hair comes all to pieces," explained she; "or nelse I have a ribbon to tie it up with." "Are you glad to come back to Willowbrook, you precious little dear?" asked two or three voices. "Yes 'm," said Flyaway, doubtfully; "Y es um." "She doesn't remember anything about it, I guess," said Prudy, kneeling before the little one, and kissing the sweet place in her neck.
Walk in walk in." Prudy blushed, Dotty smiled, and Flyaway took off her hat, as she usually did when she did not know what else to do. "Take some seats, young ladies," said Mr. Bradley, placing three chairs in a row, and bowing as if to the most distinguished visitors. Two or three men, who were lounging about the counter, looked on with a smile.
But Flyaway allowed herself to be drawn along, step by step, partly because she liked the "freckled dog," and partly because she had not ceased being amused by the droll sight of a person walking with closed eyes. "What's the name of you, girl?" "Maria." "Maria? So was my mamma; her name was Maria, when she was a little girl. O, look, there's another boy; don't you see him? Up high, in that house.
