She had been the "family bosom," Barbara said, ever since she cuddled us up in our baby blankets, and told us "this little pig, and that little pig," while she warmed our toes. "Don't tell me!" said Aunt Trixie. Aunt Trixie never liked the Roderick Holabirds. We tried not to think about it, but it was not comfortable.
Then, partly, she observed; and partly we told tales, and recollected and reminded; and partly, here and there, we rushed in, especially I, Barbara, and did little bits ourselves; and so it came to be a "Song o' Sixpence," and at least four Holabirds were "singing in the pie."
"We've been to see the Holabirds," said Dakie Thayne, right off. "I wonder why that little Ruth didn't come last night? We really wanted her," said Alice to Leslie Goldthwaite. "For batrachian reasons, I believe," put in Dakie, full of fun. "She isn't quite amphibious yet. She don't come out from under water. That is, she's young, and doesn't go alone. She told me so."
"Ah, but that is kingdom come," said Dakie Thayne. It seemed as if the question of "things next" was to arise continually, in fresh shapes, just now, when things next for the Holabirds were nearer next than ever before. "We must have Delia Waite again soon, if we can get her," said mother, one morning, when we were all quietly sitting in her room, and she was cutting out some shirts for Stephen.
It had never been very easy for us Holabirds to do such things without plan; of all things, nearly, in the world, it seemed to us sometimes beautiful and desirable to be able to live just so as that we might. "I wish," said Ruth, "that we could have Lucilla Waters here." "My gracious!" cried Rosamond, startled into a soft explosion. "What for?" "Why, I think she'd like it," answered Ruth.
