This is Sam's party, you know, and he hasn't completed all his arrangements that is, he hadn't completed them when I left him this morning. And, of course, a lot has to be done to make everything ready" here he nodded at Masie "for little princesses and great ladies in plumes and satins. But it is certainly coming off. Old Sam told me so, and he means every word of it.
After the European cities we will visit India and the ancient cities there, and ride on elephants and see the wonderful temples of the Hindoos and Brahmins and the Japanese gardens and the camel trains and chariot races in Persia, and all the queer sights of foreign countries. Don't you think you would like it, Masie?" Masie rose to her feet.
He read it through to the end, turning the pages again, rereading certain passages, his face giving no hint of the contents, folded the sheets, put them back in the envelope, and slid the whole into his inside pocket. After a little he rose, stood for a moment watching Fudge, who, now that Masie had gone to school, had taken up his customary place in the window, his nose pressed against the pane.
"You see, Masie, darling," he coaxed, "now that you are going to be a real princess," he was smoothing back her curls as he spoke, "you are going to be so high up in the world that nobody will dare to give you any presents. That is the way with all princesses.
It was the sentiment, Felix insisted, which was to be considered, the good feeling behind the gift, not the cost of it. He and Masie had worked it all out together, and please not to interfere. But Kling did interfere, and right royally, too, when he found time to think it over.
What I want to know is whether you've got a piece with a hole in it black, soft, and squashy with a frill a flounce, they call it and I want to tell you right here that it will be a good deal better if you keep a decent tongue in your head and stop puttin' on lugs. It's business with me." Masie had crept up and stood listening, wondering at the stranger's rough way of talking.
I loved you the first day I saw you." "They all do," said Masie, with an amused laugh, "to hear 'em talk. If I could meet a man that got stuck on me the third time he'd seen me I think I'd get mashed on him." "Please don't say such things," pleaded Carter. "Listen to me, dear. Ever since I first looked into your eyes you have been the only woman in the world for me."
What a damnable world it is!" Rising to his feet, he felt in his pocket for a coin, widened the pocket of the waif's jacket, and slipped it in. The boy stirred, tightened his grasp on his papers, and lay still. Felix looked down at him for a moment, turned, and with lightened steps continued his walk. "Well, thank God," he said as he neared "The Avenue," "Masie was happy one night in her life."
It was when this collection of things really worth having were being moved into their new home under Felix's personal direction that Masie announced to him an important event.
Felix shook his head. "I am afraid we could never do that, unless we locked him up in the cellar and did not give him a thing to eat until everything was ready. Oh, just think how he would beg for mercy!" Masie rubbed her cheek up and down that of Felix in disapproval. "No, you wouldn't be so mean to poor Popsy."
