"All safe, Grand-daddy?" they cried. "Sure," grinned Grand-daddy. "They are harmless folk. Have you seen a gray paper balloon dangling from the bushes, kiddies?" "I have," cried Wink. "Uncle said hornets lived in it and they were real fighters." "I'll fight 'em, then. I want that nest for medicine. Trot ahead and show it to me." "Hi! hi! Dr. Whiskers!" came a cry from the Lake.
But her mind got a queer twist over it, and she forgot it was all Master Dave's telling, and thought it had happened to herself." "Thought what had?" "I mean, thought she had been one of those two little kiddies in violet frocks...." "Ah, dear me my dear sister that died out in Australia my darling Maisie!" "Hay what's that? Your darling what? What name did you say?" "Maisie."
I'd scare the kiddies into convulsions. A bath for me!" A man from the crowd quickly stepped into the tonneau of the car, ready to care for the woman and her children while the physician drove his car home. "Hello, Reade! My congratulations on your getting out. 'Twas a brave deed, too, to save that poor woman and her children."
Granny and Grand-daddy Whiskers have met with great good fortune. They have moved up one flight into the pantry closet. They say the air there is very fine all sorts of delicious odors. And food! Why, it is hard to choose the bill of fare, there's so many goodies laying around! Granny wishes you to visit her and bring all the kiddies, especially Buster," he grinned. "Good night.
That happens sometimes with a mother, but if she is indifferent to her children she usually tries to hide it and makes a show of affection with strangers. And children just have to love their mothers a little bit and it was easy to see those poor kiddies actually hated her.
The grass is green and I am thru. Too too too. Darling kiddies." He then, in full view of the helpless weedfighters, marched on into the grass and was lost to sight. In the days following, so many selfdestructions succeeded this one that the grass became known in the papers as the Green Horror.
The kiddies joined together and gave me a purse awfully decent of the poor little souls and I've got simply dozens of books and ornaments and little picture things for my room. We had cake for tea, but half the girls wouldn't touch it. Florence said it was sickening to gorge when your heart was breaking.
They had no one to look to, no one to care for them now, but him. He sprang to his feet. "Why, yes, kiddies," he said, with a painful assumption of lightness. "You're needing food sure. Say, I guess we won't wait for your momma. We'll just hand her an elegant surprise. We'll get dinner ourselves." Jamie gurgled his joyous approval, but Vada was more intelligible. "Bully!" she cried.
"If you're stuck on kiddies, like me, it don't worry you nuthin'. Kind of makes it pleasant thinkin' how you can fix things fer 'em, don't it? But it sure ain't easy doing things just right. That's how I mean. An' don't it make you feel good when you do fix things right fer 'em? But I don't guess that comes often, though," he added, with a sigh. "Y'see, I'm kind of awkward.
I heard him asking for the kiddies while I was still out in the patio putting the finishing touches to his breakfast-table, and his grunt that was half a sigh when he learned that they'd been sent off before he'd had a glimpse of them. And I could see him inhale a lungful of the balmy morning air as he stood in the open doorway and stared, not without approval, at me and the new-minted day.
