That was a fearful moment we stood rivetted to the spot! "Oh, my kiddies," cried Bess, at last finding speech, "you are in Queer-street, I trow! Plant your stumps, Master Guinea Pig; you are going to stall off the Daw's baby in prime twig, eh? But Bess stags you, my cove! Bess stags you." Jonson, looked irresolute for one instant; but the next he had decided.
In reality I didn't draw a perfectly free breath until I saw the entire population of Riverfield seated in advantageous seats on the middle aisle in the town hall at six-thirty, and beginning to get out their lunch-baskets to feed themselves and the kiddies before the opening of the convocation at eight o'clock. According to the advice of Mrs. Addcock and Mrs.
Delaplaine's mail, which consisted mostly of catalogues, came addressed to N.B. Delaplaine, Esq., and even the little French Canadian kiddies tumbling around the gardens of the mill houses down in Nantic knew what that N.B. stood for, but to Gilead he was just "Bony" Delaplaine. Every day that first week found the girls down at the Farm prying around the ruins for any lost treasures.
"Yes, sir," said Merton, and plodded on up the alley, followed at a respectful distance by the Ransom kiddies, who at once resumed their vocal exercises. "He throwed you off right into the dirt, didn't he, Merton? Mer-tun, didn't he throw you off right into the dirt?" If it were inevitable he wished that they would come closer. He would even have taken little Woodrow by the hand.
See here, Jess, I've got two horses hidden away down there in the bush beside the creek one for you, and one for me. We can't fetch those kiddies along with us now. It wouldn't be safe, anyhow. We've got sixty-odd miles to ride through the foothills. But see, I'll fetch 'em one day, after, if you must have 'em. How's that?" "But they'll never let you," cried Jessie.
For Oswald does not approve of marriages and would never, if he knew it, be the means of assisting one to occur. "MY DEAR KIDDIES, Miss Sandal's married sister has just come home from Australia, and she feels very tired. No wonder, you will say, after such a long journey. So she is going to Lymchurch to rest.
"Guess you've always been a child to me," he said. "An' kiddies ain't bustin' with brain generly. However, I don't reckon you're foolish. 'Cep' when you git around that Reservation," he added thoughtfully. There was a brief silence. The man avoided the violet eyes. He seemed afraid to look at them. Rosebud's presence somehow made things hard for him.
The lower slope of the hill was grassy, with scattered live oaks and here and there a huge bowlder. It was one of these live oaks, the biggest of them all, with wide-spreading branches drooping almost to the ground, that Cliff pointed out as an excellent concealment for an airplane. "Run it under there, and who would ever suspect? Mateo is there already with his woman and the kiddies.
He made a queer face as he said this one of those indescribable boy illustrations quite beyond interpretation. "Is she?" asked Dorothy, not knowing anything better to say. "And Tom and Roland, I repeat. We are going to duck the kiddies. Too cold for little boys." "Oh, then I shan't go," declared Dorothy. "We've been promising Joe and Roger so long." "But they don't want to go," insisted Nat.
She lived in a little world of her own with the Alice-doll and all her other "children"; and she no more thought of neglecting them for a day than she and Tess neglected Billy Bumps or the cats. There was no means of heating the garret, so a room in the wing with their bed chambers, and which was heated from the cellar furnace, was given up to "the kiddies'" nursery.
