Elmo, fluttered the leaves, then flew away, leaving them open, just where Edna goes to the old church for the last time, and Kat's eyes strayed right down to the tempting words, and somehow they did not come back at once. That old roof was just like all the rest of the house, roomy, shady and cool.
Then some presents came from somewhere for Father and Mother Vedder and for Grandfather and Grandmother Winkle; and such a time as they all had, opening the bundles and showing their presents! Then Mother Vedder tried on Kit's suit and Kat's dress, to see if they were the right size. They were just right exactly. "St. Nicholas even knows how big we are," said Kat. "Oh, I wish St.
Grandfather showed them how to bait their hooks. Kit baited Kat's for her, because Kat said it made her all wriggly inside to do it. She did not like it. Neither did the worm! They all sat down on the end of the pier.

Then she tied a big apron over each of them and gave them each a bowl of bread and milk. While they were eating it, Father Vedder went out and looked at the pigs, and chickens, and ducks, and geese, and smoked his pipe. When he came in, Kit and Kat were quite ready. Vrouw Vedder had tied on Kat's little white-winged cap, and put Kit's hat on.
And then no one could tell how it happened there was Kit in the water, too, splashing like a young whale, with Kat's hook still holding fast to his clothes in the back! Grandfather jumped then, too, you may be sure. He caught hold of Kat's rod and pulled hard and called out, "Steady, there, steady!"
"Kittie's dancing a jig, and Kat's sliding down the bannisters," exclaimed a horrified voice from somewhere else. "Mercy! Bea, call mama; I think they've gone crazy." "Nutting party," cried Kittie, dancing furiously and nodding her head like a demented monkey. "To-morrow, want to go?"
There was one particular place where Kat's eyes lingered, and where she smiled, very slowly, as though it was something not to be enjoyed fully, all at once; and we will look right over her shoulder and read it as she does again and again: "The time is up now, and I am coming, if you say for me to. Will you?
"Hollo, Kittie, your corners are swept cleaner'n mine." "Of course," answered Kittie complacently, and turning her broom right end up, in a spasm of housewifely care. "You better go to work and do yours over; that's in the bargain, isn't it, Bea?" "Work to be done well," said Bea, surveying Kat's corners with a critical eye. "And those are not clean; you've slipped right by them."
She jerked it so hard that one foot flew right up in the air, and one of her new wooden shoes went splash right into the water! But that wasn't the worst of it! Before you could say Jack Robinson, Kat's hook flew around and caught in Kit's clothes and pricked him. Kit jumped and said "Ow!"
