"Gid-dap, pony!" cried Baby William, trotting along on his short, fat legs, making-believe, as he often did, that he was riding horseback. "Gid-dap! I lasso a rooster, I did!" "Yes, and you'll kill the poor thing if you're not careful," panted Aunt Millie, as she raced after the little fellow and caught him.
"Well well," answered Sue, and Bunny could tell by her voice that she was trying hard not to cry, "well, Bunny Brown, I I guess I'd better like sleepin' in my bed, than out here without no pillow. I want a pillow, an' it's dark an' cold, an' an' " Sue was just ready to cry, but Bunny said: "Oh, come on now, Sue! This is fun! You know we're making-believe camp out!"
She was as simple as a child, and shy, with the unself-conscious shyness of wild things. To be sure, this "actress-lady" was making-believe she was a wild thing, and she was doing it almighty well, but Joan had been the reality, and grave and still, part of his own big, grave, mountain country, not a fierce, man-devouring animal of the tropics.
Yet when she went up from the parlor, where the newly-affianced couple sat together, "making-believe" a passion that did not exist, and acting out the sham courtship, proper for the gentleman to pay and the lady to receive when she shut her bedroom door, and there, sitting in the cold, read again and again Robert Lyon's letter to Johanna, so good, so honest; so sad, yet so bravely enduring Hilary was comforted.

"Oh, what will the Doctor say?" cried Singh piteously. "That he'll stop your pocket-allowance to pay for it. Here, I say, old chap, do, do something to steer him." "But I haven't got a " "Here, try a pin," cried Glyn, making-believe to pull one out of the bottom corner of his waistcoat. "But that won't go through his skin." "No, I suppose not. He'll think you are tickling him.
Brobson was sitting by the fire, making-believe to be busy at needlework, with the under-nurse in attendance a buxom damsel, whose elbows rested on the table as she conversed with her superior. Both looked up in some slight confusion at Clarissa's entrance. They had been talking about her, she thought, but with a supreme indifference.
A visitor to one of the Shaker communities describes the men and women as engaging in the most preposterous play of making-believe; performing upon imaginary instruments as they marched in procession; going through the motions of washing their faces and hands as they surrounded an imaginary fountain; and, finally, plunging bodily into this spiritual fountain, by rolling over on the grass!
