She had gone through shell ice to bare ground, a long strip of bare ground that led straight to the Halfway shore; roofed, high above my head, with shell ice and lolly that filtered a silver-green light. My dream girl lay there in her little blue sweater with the wind knocked out of her and that was all.
"Sometimes farmers go through their potato field and knock the bugs from the vines into a can full of kerosene oil," said Uncle Pennywait, "or they may use another poison instead of Paris Green. But the bugs must be killed if we are to have potatoes." Just then Mab saw Aunt Lolly going into her garden with a bottle in her hand. "Are you going to poison bugs too?" asked the little girl.
The story not improbably might have arisen from his having been confounded with a contemporary violin-player of the name of Duranowski, a Pole, to whom in person he bore some resemblance, and who, for some offence or other having been imprisoned at Milan, during the leisure which his captivity afforded, had contrived greatly to improve himself in his art; and when once it was embodied into shape, the fiction naturally enough might have obtained the more credence, from the fact that two of his most distinguished predecessors, Tartini and Lolly, had attained to the great mastery which they possessed over their instrument during a period of solitude the one within the walls of a cloister, the other in the privacy and retirement of a remote country village.
Two Chinamen help me one Chinaman get another Chinaman and we catch on. I no tell Miss Lolly, she too young; I come tell you." Mark leaned forward, his elbows on his knees. "Say, Fong, I'm a little mixed up about this. Suppose you go to the beginning and give me the whole thing. If you and this chain of China boys have got something on Mayer I want to hear it.
"You may have one pumpkin for a Hallowe'en lantern, maybe, but pumpkin pies are what Aunt Lolly is thinking of, I guess." "Indeed I am," she said. "When I was a girl we used to raise many pumpkins in the cornfield at home. So I'll raise my pumpkins between your rows of corn, Hal." "That's the way to do it," said Uncle Pennywait. "I think I'll raise potatoes.
I take care Miss Lolly and Miss Clist I look out. You all 'ight, you come." He threw open the door with a flourish and called in loud, glad tones, "Miss Lolly, Miss Clist, one velly good fliend come Mist Bullage." At the end of the long room Mark was aware of a small group whence issued a murmur of talk.
"I'm going to buy ice cream," said Uncle Pennywait. "I never yet had all the ice cream I wanted. But I will when I get that ten dollars." "Ten dollars is an awful lot of ice cream!" said Mab, sighing. "He's only joking," laughed Aunt Lolly. "You children mustn't let him win the prize. Keep busy in your gardens, and get it yourselves."
There is going to be a very heavy frost, and everything will freeze hard to-night. It will be very cold!" "Is that why you are bringing in the plants, mamma?" asked Mab. "Yes, so they will not freeze and die," Mrs. Blake answered. "Flowers freeze very easily." The children were glad to help their mother and Aunt Lolly.
"Had the room next to her last night. Heard her drag the bed in front of the door of her room. She knew I was there, all right!" Deveny laughed deeply. "She's wised up by this time. Lolly Kaye hates her because Barbara's a good-looking girl, I suppose. That's like some women. Lolly would see Barbara roasting in hell and not give her a hand!" "Lolly's been disappointed in love I reckon."
"So you think you want to try corn; eh?" and he laid a package of that seed in front of the little boy. "If Mab raises beans and Hal grows corn we'll have succotash at any rate," said Mother Blake. "And succotash is good to can and keep all Winter." "Well, we may have enough to eat, after all, from our garden," said Aunt Lolly. "I think I'll raise pumpkins for my share of the new game."
