"It all apends," she repeated. "Wife, can you understand her?" questioned the man. "I think she means that it all depends, Ben." "Oh, depends on what now, my dear?" "On whether you is good to my bwother or not." "Oh, is that all? Well, I'll be good to 'im." "He's awfu' fwightened of you." "Well, he needn't be. If you'll manage him I won't say a word." "Won't you twuly?
I'd rather have Aunt Jane and Miss Ramsay than this horrid room and oh, Diana! my tumtum has got a big hole in it again." "And mine has too," answered Diana. "I could eat a whole loaf, that I could." "Hush!" whispered Orion; "somebody's coming. Oh, come close to me, Diana!" "Now, you isn't to be fwightened, little boy," said Diana. "I is near you, and I isn't fwightened of nobody."
"Did you hear him roar?" Teddy asked as he climbed in. "No." "Well, he did, and we came out 'cause it fwightened Peggy." "Frightened " from Nurse. "Fr-ightened. But I liked the leopards best." "Why?" "Because they're pre-itty." "You can't always trust pretty things." "Can't you tre-ust leopards General Drake?" The General was not sure, and presently he fell into silence.
How difficult it looks. I am frightened! Lucia never saw such a dwefful thing to read!" And it had been those very bars, which Georgie had heard through the open window just now. "Georgie's is much more dwefful!" he said, remembering the double sharp that came in the second bar. "Georgie fwightened too at reading it. O-o-h," and he gave a little scream.
It mattered nothing at all to little Orion that he did not know where he was to go, that he was a penniless and very small, very ignorant boy. The one object on which all his hopes were centered was the desire to get away from Uncle Ben and the terrible horses which he was forced to ride. "Now, 'member, you is to be bwave," said Diana; "you isn't to be fwightened.
Diana never was fwightened; that isn't her." Orion scrambled also into the cart, and the two children huddled up close together. Mother Rodesia got in with them, and sat down at the opposite side, with her knees huddled up close to her chin. The man called Jack mounted the driver's seat, whacked the pony with two or three hard touches of his whip and away they bounded.
Little Diana flew up to him and took his hand. "What is you 'cited about?" she asked. "Is you fwightened 'bout anything?" "No, little gal, no that is, provided you and your brother do your parts well." "We has pwomised," said Diana, with great firmness; "you needn't be fwightened; we has pwomised." The children were to appear as the last item of the first part of the performance.
"Is Uncle Ben coming? Have I got to ride Greased Lightning? Di, are you there? are you close to me?" "Course I is," answered Diana. "Orion, don't you be such a silly; I is with you. There's nothing going to happen." "Nothing? Are you certain sure?" asked the child. "K'ite. I is with you, Orion; don't you be fwightened; there's nothing going to happen."
"Now, if you'll take my hand we'll go indoors, and Fortune will give us a lovely bekfus. Come, Orion; don't be fwightened, poor little boy." They walked across the field. By this time the sun was up and the place felt warm and dry. Little Orion, shivering in his queer circus dress, was glad of this, and a faint degree of returning courage came into his heart.
"Orion isn't to wide a wicious sort of beast." She slipped down from the man's knees and stood before him. "It aren't me to be fwightened of any horse," she said. "I never was and I never will be." "I believe yer, miss," said Uncle Ben, gazing at her with great admiration. "But Orion he is he is awfu' fwightened of Pole Star, and he sha'n't wide him.
