They don't propose to go to the meeting. 'Better fun outside, they say." "Lucky little devils!" remarked the Candidate, with feeling. "And, Adrian," said Kitty, "I don't think I'll come either. I'm rather bothered about Philly." I laid down my knife and fork. "What do you mean? Is she really ill?" "N-no. I don't think so, but she is very feverish and wretched, poor kiddy.

They never could get but one of Fleurette crying, she's such a good-natured kiddy. All right, Chick, start it off." They listened to the pretty little chanson, and repeated it until Elise felt satisfied she had added it to her repertory. Just as she finished Betty Gale came flying in. "Skip into your togs, Elise, and come for a drive with us," she said.

Poor little Kiddy," she said as she turned away. But this was the only kind word Laura heard. For many and many a night after, she cried herself to sleep. Thus Laura went to Coventry. Not that the social banishment she now suffered was known by that name.

"Well, look here, Kiddy, if a chap's sweet on me I let him be sweet, my dear, and that's all till he's run to barley-sugar. What I don't let him savvy is, whether I care a twopenny damn for him. Soon as you do that, it's all up.

"It's a `got-to, I suppose! It would be playing it pretty low down, to land you with the worry of nursing me, and keeping Poppar quiet at the other end of the world. But you wouldn't expect me to drive about with one of those fool-creatures from the livery stable taking care of me, as if I were a kiddy? No, sir! I don't see myself coming down to that level yet awhile!

"Have you been up to the Dodge camp?" questioned Carl Dudder. "Yes, and those chaps treated me shamefully," answered Kiddy Leech. "I never touched a thing they had, yet they accused me of trying to steal some of their traps." "Just like 'em," said Ham.

There was a fearful row anyhow. Ulrica said Lily talked like a clergyman wie ein Pfarrer.... I don't know. Ulrica said she was opening a letter. I don't know." "But she can't read German or English." "I don't know. Ask me another." "It is extraordinary." "What's extraordinary?" asked Bertha from the far side of Jimmie. "Petite and that letter." "Oh." "What did the Kiddy want?"

"Mary! come and meet Sidney and the kiddy!" she commanded. "Well, I rather hoped you were going to present them," said Mrs. Moore, rising too, and gathering up sunshade and gloves. They threaded the silent garden paths again, passed the house, and crossed a neglected stable yard, where a great red motor-car had crushed a path for itself across dry grass and weeds.

"He must have gone to Riverview, or else beyond," returned the doctor's son. They passed the old icehouse where Kiddy Leech had met Ham Spink and his cronies and kept on steadily in the direction of Riverview. Then of a sudden Snap set up a shout. "I see a man ahead with a sled!" "So do I! It must be the thief, Snap!" "Perhaps, although I can't make out at this distance.

Westby chuckled over his humorous discovery, and as soon as possible imparted it to Collingwood. “Oh, well, what if the rector did make him do it?” said Collingwood. “The way he did it shows he’s all right—” “Trying to get the credit with us for being just and generous!” observed Westby. “Oh, I don’t mind; of course it’s only Kiddy.”
