But somehow, though he tried to look innocent, I guess he really looked guilty. "Jehosophat Green, what have you been doing?" asked Mother. Her eyes were almost always kind but they were a little stern just then. Jehosophat tried another look on his face, for you can try different looks on your face just as you try different hats on your head.
Jehosophat put his arm around his neck and patted his black coat, which was almost as shiny as the harness itself. He looked at the tail. It was nearly a yard long and very thick. That pony was certainly handsome. And Father had given him cart, harness, and all to Jehosophat for his birthday, for his very own, to keep just as long as the pony lived.
But just then Fatty Hamm, who sat behind him, leaned over and whispered, "Don't forget the peanuts, Joshy!" Jehosophat frowned and tried not to pay any attention, but the Presidentboardeducation had taken out his spectacles and was reading from a paper. "Recitation by ." He couldn't seem to understand the name and put on his glasses a little nearer the end of his nose,
Marmaduke felt very much ashamed as he took his place out in the field again, with the score thirty-six to thirty against them. Just then the Toyman and Jehosophat came up the road on their way back from Sawyer's Mill, and the Toyman stopped his horses to watch the game for a minute. Marmaduke gritted his teeth and clenched his hands. He would have to do well now when they were looking on.
They might be very foolish, these White Geese, but they were sensible enough to know that Jehosophat ought to have been ashamed of himself that afternoon. To make matters worse, the sun was shining now. He sparkled so brightly on the Gold Rooster on the top of the barn, that Father Wyandotte flapped his wings and cried to all the world: "Look, look, look, look! You're going to get it hurroo!"
"Of course you have," his good old chum replied, "and a heap of wonderful things you saw." The Toyman never laughed at the wonderful things they had done, nor at the marvellous things they had seen no never, for he understood little children. Now Jehosophat had to believe him. He asked lots of questions, while Hepzebiah listened, her eyes growing as round as big peppermint drops.
Philemon Pipp, and a big chart like those the teachers used in school. "Whew!" whistled Jehosophat, "look at that ole bag of bones!" For on that chart was a big picture of a skeleton, and, by the side of the skeleton, other pictures, of a man with his skin taken off, which showed his bones, and his muscles, and all his insides very prettily painted in blue and yellow and red.
It was not surprising that Elizabeth, getting on horseback on the 15th July, 1588, with her head full of Tilbury Fort and Medina Sidonia, should have as little relish for the affairs of Ahab and Jehosophat, as for those melting speeches of Diomede and of Turnus, to which Dr. Valentine Dale on his part was at that moment invoking her attention.
In the barn Teddy, and Hal, and Methuselah, and Black-eyed Susan, and all the four-footed friends of the three happy children, rested from the cares of the day. Hepzebiah never stirred in her crib, and Jehosophat lay dreaming of something very pleasant.
"And " he looked triumphantly at his angry niece-in-law's snapping eyes, "she had to steal the lunch, by the Jumping Jehosophat, she had to steal her lunch! Why don't you feed people, Clara why don't you?" "She had a good lunch, I'm sure I instructed the cook to give her a lunch " With the annoying cunning of the old he contradicted her. He dearly loved a row with the mistress of the household.
