If this cannot be done, and luncheons must be carried to school, the filling of the lunch-basket should never be left, except under exact directions, to the kind-hearted servant, or to the girl herself; and she should under no circumstances be allowed to buy her luncheon each day of the baker, or the confectioner, a usual practice twenty years ago of the girls in Boston private schools.
This broke the ice, and Sarah and Delia began to talk very fast about Monday's grammar lesson, and Miss Cardrew, and how Agnes Gaylord put a green snake in Phœbe Hunt's lunch-basket, and had to stay after school for it, and how it was confidently reported in mysterious whispers, at recess, that George Castles told Mr. Guernsey he was a regular old fogy, and Mr.
"Hear that bird! It's a bobolink it is! Oh, me! Oh, my! I haven't heard a bobolink for I'm not going to bother to think how long. It is glorious!" "This isn't anything compared to the woods and the brook," asserted Polly. She put down her lunch-basket and snipped off some clover heads. "Those are full of honey, Miss Nita, taste! They aren't buggy a mite."
After lunch grandfather said: "It will never do to go home without any fish at all." So by-and-by he went back to the pier and caught one while the twins played in the sand. He put it in the lunch-basket to carry home. Kat brought shells and pebbles to Kit, because he had to stay covered up in the sand, and Kit built a play dyke all around himself with them, and Kat dug a canal outside the dyke.
When you are ashamed to be seen eating them on the street; when you can carry them in your pocket and your hand not constantly find its way to them; when your neighbor has aples and you have none, and you make no nocturnal visits to his orchard; when you lunch-basket is without them, and you can pass a winter's night by the fireside with not thought of the fruit at your elbow, then be assured you are no longer a boy, either in heart or in years.
Fortunately, the seats and the lunch-basket were still attached to the handle or so they thought and there would be nothing to prevent their quickly starting on the journey home. They waited a long time, however, to give the Boolooroo time to get to sleep, so it was after midnight when Button-Bright finally took the shoes in his hand and started for the Royal Bedchamber.
The good soul was much distressed at the small quantity of what she had provided, for which room was found in the lunch-basket, and said she "'lowed dem ar chillun's gwine hungry heap o' times befo' dey sets eyes on ole Clo agin." It had been arranged that Mr. and Mrs. Elmer and Frank March should go with the travellers as far as Tallahassee, and see them fairly off from there.
My soul grew sick, the other morning as, with unfurled umbrella, lunch-basket, bundle, and draperies, I beheld the working woman on her weary march. Give a man a petticoat, a bundle and an umbrella, and the streets would be full of capering lunatics whenever it rained. Stay at home, did you say?
Blix had taken a deck of cards from the lunch-basket, and four rolls of chips wrapped in tissue paper. He stared at her in speechless amazement. "What do you say?" she repeated, looking at him and smiling. "Why, Blix!" he exclaimed in amazement, "what do you mean?" "Just what I say. I want you to play cards with me." "I'll not to do it," he declared, almost coldly.
Some time I will tell you how he did it; but I must not tell you now, because if I do, I can't tell you about their going fishing. This morning, grandfather carried his rod and the lunch-basket. Kit and Kat carried the basket of worms between them, and their rods over their shoulders, and they were all three very happy. On the Dyke They walked along ever so far, beside the canal.
