"'Just like mother used to make, I says out loud, 'n' follows down a dark hall to the poolroom. "I watches the New Awlins entries chalked up 'n' I sees a hoss called Tea Kettle in the third race. Now this Tea Kettle ain't a bad pup. He's owned by a couple of wise Ikes who never let him win till the odds are right. Eddie Murphy has this hoss 'n' Duckfoot Johnson's swipin' him.
You were naughty children very naughty!" "Oo dot any tandy?" demanded Dodo, fixing her big eyes on Grace. "Candy! Good land sakes, no! Candy? The idea!" "We 'ikes tandy," added Paul. Then out came Mrs. Billette, startled at the sight of the dripping figures. "Oh, did you fall in?" she asked, with a tragic gesture. "No, we fell out," said her daughter, laughing.
"Us 'ikes tandy don't us!" interrupted Will, mimicking the little twin brother and sister of Mollie, whose penchant for sweets was only equalled by the longing of Grace. "Easy," said Betty softly. "Well, if we're going to race, let's do it. Boys, you see fair play. It's to be down to the bend and back." "No, not back!" declared Amy. "I can't do as much as that at top speed."
Wilt thou be good now and sleep?" "I not eepy. Ikes to talk." "Well, talk we then; tell me thy pretty name." "Baby." And he opened his eyes with amazement at this great hulking creature's ignorance. "Hast none other?" "Nay." "What shall I do to pleasure thee, baby? Shall I tell thee a story?" "I ikes tories," said the boy, clapping his hands. "Or sing thee a song?"

"Don't go too far!" called Mrs. Martin after the children. "No, we won't," they promised. "I wants to go wide too!" begged Trouble. "I 'ikes a wide on a ponyback."
Indeed, one of the little colored girls put her finger in the sweet, sticky puddle, and then she put her finger in her mouth. "Dat's good!" she murmured. "Me 'ikes 'lasses, me does!"
