However, they're not likely to come to-day." "Why not?" asked Betty, for the twins had a habit of appearing most unexpectedly, and in the most out-of-the-way places. "They're over at Aunt Kittie's for the day, and I told mamma I shouldn't mind if she kept them a week." "Oh, the dears!" murmured Amy. "You wouldn't say so if you saw how they upset my room yesterday.

But then Kittie's pleasure was as innocent as a child's; she read that letter over and over, and admired the beautiful writing, but thought that all her pleasure grew from the fact of hearing from Pansy, who had been gone a month, and said, as she put it in her pocket, "It was very kind in Mr. Murray to write, I'm sure for I did want to hear from Pansy."

"'F I'd knocked your apple, you'd a scolded me." "Oh, no; I'm an angel," laughed Kat. "Kittie's the one that scolds." "Do you?" asked Pansy, leaning against Kittie, with a devotion that nearly knocked the whole pan of apples over. "I never scolded you, did I?" asked Kittie. "No, but Auntie Raymond says I mind you the bestest of anybody. I think I do.

There was a moving about within, the scrape of a match, and finally the door opening slightly, a figure peering out. "It's me, Mrs. Scogin Hanna Burkhardt!" The door swung back then, revealing a just-lighted parlor, opening, without introduction of hall, from the sidewalk. "Well, if it ain't Hanna Burkhardt! What you doin' out this kind of a night? Come in. Kittie's dryin' her hair in the kitchen.

Thanks be to Him who has so diffused it over this lower world that there is no spot that may not be akin to heaven! Mrs. Lincoln's time was wholly taken up in inventing new pleasures for her son, so that she had not one moment for the poor youth at the foot of the garden, who, but for the benevolence and kindness of Kittie's mother, would have led a weary life of it indeed.

They will be worried when they see Prince come home, cut, and will think I am badly hurt. I must let them know at once." Mrs. Carr took her unexpected guest to the telephone, and Grace was soon talking to her mother. "Don't worry, Momsey," she said. "Prince ran away with me an auto hit him now don't faint, I am all right. I'm at Mollie's Aunt Kittie's.

Then Mabel Blossom left the room, with slow, reluctant feet, and went up-stairs to Kittie. That's why Mabel has just gone to Kittie's home for a few days. She and Kittie are to be flower-maids at Josephine's wedding. I hope it is not necessary for me to explain to my intelligent readers that her husband will be George Morgan.

I'm stunned out of a year's growth! Was it Murray?" "Well, I don't think you'll miss it," laughed Kat. "Yes, it was Mr. Murray, and Kittie's going to share that home." "You don't say so.

Kittie says he confessed the whole thing to Josephine, and she forgave him, and said she would marry him anyhow; but she explained that she only did it on Kittie's account. She said she did not know to what lengths the child might go next.
