Ladybug expected to move. "My winter quarters will be wind-proof," Mrs. Ladybug told them. And that speech set them all to guessing again. Almost everybody said then that she was going to live underground. "I shall not feel a drop of rain not even during the January thaw," Mrs. Ladybug went on.
Ladybug despite her frantic efforts to escape. She wriggled all her six legs at the same time. "She'll be pleased with this one," Rusty murmured, as he watched Mrs. Ladybug's struggles. "Mrs. Wren will certainly thank me when I give her this morsel." And she did. "How lovely!" Mrs. Wren exclaimed when Rusty gave her his captive.
And when Betsy went to the flower garden early the next morning she felt kindly towards the whole world, not even excepting Johnnie Green, though he had tried to capture her. Well, Mrs. Ladybug was waiting for Betsy Butterfly among the flowers. She had been in such haste to reach the garden early that she had not stopped to have her breakfast.
She was satisfied when she saw that Betsy was just as dusty as ever. For, to tell the truth, little Mrs. Ladybug was so jealous of the beautiful Betsy that she wanted to say something disagreeable to her. "Hasn't this been a lovely day?" Betsy Butterfly cried happily, as soon as she noticed Mrs. Ladybug. "I've enjoyed every moment of it.
Buster Bumblebee didn't agree with her. "I'll have to speak to Mrs. Ladybug," he declared. "Oh, don't!" Betsy Butterfly begged him; for she was as gentle as she was beautiful and never wanted people to quarrel on her account. But Buster Bumblebee had made up his mind and nothing could change it. THE next day Buster Bumblebee set out for the orchard to find Mrs. Ladybug.
For instance, it was I that told Daddy Longlegs to help Farmer Green with his harvesting." Little Mrs. Ladybug felt so proud of herself that she dropped a stitch without noticing it. "Daddy Longlegs! HE'S not young!" Freddie Firefly exclaimed. "Oh! yes, he is! He's not so old as you think," Mrs. Ladybug replied. "He's just about your age. And if he can work, you certainly can."
If you aren't, I don't." The strange lady laughed lightly. "I wonder " she replied "I wonder if you are Mrs. Ladybug." "I am," said Mrs. Ladybug. "Then I'm your cousin!" cried the other. "At last I've met you!" And she rushed towards Mrs. Ladybug with every intention of embracing her. Mrs. Ladybug backed hastily away. "Not so fast!" she exclaimed. "If you really are my cousin, well and good!
It was not until the next day that Johnnie Green remembered his new pet. And when he went to see him then the honey box was empty. The Carpenter had cut a tunnel through the wall of his prison. Later the Carpenter sent a message to Buster, by little Mrs. Ladybug. "The Carpenter has lost so much time," she told Buster, "that he thinks he will never be able to finish the addition to his house.
"Why, no!" said Mrs. Ladybug. "I don't care anything about it. At least, I never ate any." "Then I don't see how you know whether you like it or not," Betsy observed, "unless you've looked into a buttercup to find out." Mrs. Ladybug was interested, in spite of herself. "Can a person tell by doing that?" she wanted to know. "It's a sure way," said Betsy Butterfly.
So she sent Miss Moth over to the meadow, to find Freddie Firefly and ask him if he wouldn't come to the orchard because Mrs. Ladybug wanted to talk with him. He came. He came at once; for he saw Jennie Junebug looking for him. And he was only too glad to escape her attentions. He found her too rough to suit him. Mrs. Ladybug quickly explained her difficulty. "What shall I do?" she asked him.
