He would like to please her, though, and it would be a sort of patronage toward the boy that might exalt himself in Kittie's estimation. It was very singular how much influence the child exercised over him. He was pettish and cross toward her, and made it a great condescension to do any thing that she proposed; and yet, to thwart her in any one thing made him uneasy and miserable.
Kittie's brother staggered about, and when he could get his breath he cried: "I'm through I've had enough!" "Battle's over cease firing!" laughed Allen. "Well, girls, what's the trouble?" he asked as he and his two friends advanced to meet Grace and Mollie, while Jake and Sam moved off in the direction of their cabin. "Oh, Will, there's a big express package for you at the cabin!" Grace exclaimed.
But, however, I must comfort you, and remind you how kind your father is to them, and how your mother's sole business in life is to see that they have double as much as they ought to have. And how your sister, that best of Kittie's, is more than a mother to them; indeed most strangers take her for their mother, and you for an unnatural sort of aunt." Schillie.
Dering came out to the hall in answer to Kittie's beckon, and received this somewhat incoherent report: "Kat's upstairs; we walked the foundation, and she fell off the high part; I took her some clothes, but I don't know what she's done to her wrist;" and Mrs.

People began to rush from the club-house, and get blankets and whiskey, and telephone for doctors and for Kittie's family, and things got so exciting that nobody paid any attention to Mabel. All she had to do was to mop her eyes occasionally and keep a sharp lookout for Josephine; for of course, being an ardent student of life, like Maudie and me, she did not want to miss what came next.
"And Kittie Rossmore!" added Betty. "Who are the two fellows with them?" Grace wanted to know. "One is Jake Rossmore Kittie's brother," spoke Will, "and the other is " "Sam Batty!" interrupted Frank. "Two cronies if ever there were any. I wonder what this means?" "It looks as though they were camping out just as we are," said Mollie. "And, look, there is Mrs. Jallow. Oh, they've seen us!"
Bea surrendered her hand with some misgiving, rightfully conjecturing that it would receive a shake and twist of over-powering heartiness in the high tide of Kittie's spirits; and that young lady, having done her best to dislocate that useful member, rushed off to impart the news to Kat, and swing her dish rag jubilantly. The change of instruments, as the girls said, took place Monday morning.
