One day, as I was weary of our usual place, beside the wooden horses, Francoise had taken me for an excursion across the frontier guarded at regular intervals by the little bastions of the barley-sugar women into those neighbouring but foreign regions, where the faces of the passers-by were strange, where the goat-carriage went past; then she had gone away to lay down her things on a chair that stood with its back to a shrubbery of laurels; while I waited for her I was pacing the broad lawn, of meagre close-cropped grass already faded by the sun, dominated, at its far end, by a statue rising from a fountain, in front of which a little girl with reddish hair was playing with a shuttlecock; when, from the path, another little girl, who was putting on her cloak and covering up her battledore, called out sharply: "Good-bye, Gilberte, I'm going home now; don't forget, we're coming to you this evening, after dinner."
I did not like at all. Napoleon was not there. Where he was not, the sun did not shine. Then we returned to Paris. The emperor married a grand princess. He had a son a baby son the King of Rome! Then, too, what fêtes! A fine child the King of Rome! I saw him often in his little goat-carriage at the Tuileries. I do not know what has become of him.
Mayton caught her breath, and did not reply for a moment. At last she said: "How do you know he gives her hugs and kisses?" "Cos I saw him, the day Toddie hurt his finger in the grass-cutter. An' he was so happy that be bought me a goat-carriage next morning I'll show it to you if you come down to our stable, an' I'll show you the goat too. An' he bought " Just here Budge stopped, for Mrs.
"Put them on, then put on the mantle of rude Boreas, if you choose; but don't go to crying." "Don't want no mantle-o'-wude-bawyusses," declared Toddie, following me phonetically, "wantsh my own pitty cozhesh, an' nobody eshesh." "O Uncle Harry!" exclaimed Budge, "I want to bring mamma home in my goat-carriage!" "The goat isn't strong enough, Budge, to draw mamma and you."
At first Billy wanted to break the bottle himself, but upon being told that girls always did it, he invited a bewitching little maid of seven, Kathleen Van Osdel, to christen them, while Billy valiantly sat in the goat-carriage, waiting for Aubrey and Amos to let go of the goats' horns.
The filling of Budge's orders occupied two or three hours and all the vacant space in the carriage; even then the goat and goat-carriage were compelled to follow behind. The program for the afternoon was arranged to the satisfaction of every one.
You may have forgotten the affair of the little Gaffin children; I haven't." "I was in India at the time, and I've only a vague recollection of what happened; he was very naughty, I know." "He was in his goat-carriage, and met the Gaffins in their perambulator, and he drove the goat full tilt at them and sent the perambulator spinning.
She told me that Master James was deaf and dumb, and could not understand a word of our conversation; hence restraint was unnecessary. I asked her if he was born with this defect, and she said, "No; until the age of three he could speak very nicely, but at that age he was thrown out of his little goat-carriage, and in consequence of the shock and concussion lost his power of speech."
"Well, then, let me drive down to the depot just to SHOW papa an' mamma I've got a goat-carriage I'm sure mamma would be very unhappy when she found out I had one, and she hadn't seen it first thing." "Well, I guess you may follow me down, Budge, but you must drive very carefully." "Oh, yes I wouldn't get us hurt when mamma was coming, for ANYthing."
Where he was not, the sun did not shine. Then we returned to Paris. The emperor married a grand princess. He had a son a baby son the King of Rome! Then, too, what fêtes! A fine child the King of Rome! I saw him often in his little goat-carriage at the Tuileries. I do not know what has become of him. They say he is dead; but I do not believe that, any more than I believe that my emperor is dead.
