In October their work is over, the chorus ended, but you hear an occasional "Katy-did" and finally as late as Indian Summer, which is Hallowe'en, I have heard the last of the fiddlers rasp out "she did"; and do it in daytime, too, as though to flout the followers of Cicada. And, if the last word be truth, as they say, we may consider it settled, that Katy really and truly did.
He knew what she meant, and the aged chin quivered, while a big tear dropped into the tub of corn, as he replied: "Yes, Katy-did very sorry."
"Poor extravagant little thing!" said she to herself, "it was hardly worth while to ask her." "Pray, shall you invite the Crickets?" said Colonel Katy-did. "Who? I? Why, Colonel, what a question!

"Now," said Miss Katy-did, drawing an azalea-leaf towards her, "let us see whom shall we have? The Fireflies, of course; everybody wants them, they are so brilliant, a little unsteady, to be sure, but quite in the higher circles." "Yes, we must have the Fireflies," echoed the colonel. "Well, then, and the Butterflies and the Moths. Now, there's a trouble.
"Are you glad to have me home again, Uncle Eph?" she asked, when once she caught him regarding her with a peculiar look. "Yes, Katy-did, very glad," he answered. "I've missed you every day, though you do nothing much but bother me." "Why did you look funny at me just now?"
