"Doesn't that make you feel good?" said Marjorie, all aglow with the exercise, as they closed the windows, and sat down again. "That's no sort of a drill, really," said Miss Hart; "but it will do for to-day. When we get fairly started, we'll have gymnastics that will be a lot more fun than that. But now for our botany lesson." "Botany!" cried Midge; "I've never studied that!"
"Midge," she said, "there are just about a hundred things I ought to tell you before you go to Grandma's, but if I were to tell you now, you wouldn't remember one of them; so I have written them all down, and you must take the list with you, and read it every morning so that you may remember and obey the instructions." Midge was one of the numerous nicknames by which Marjorie was called.
Andy knew what that was the structure containing the programmes and general advertising and posting outfits of the show. He had noticed it earlier in the day. A wagon inside the tent, with steps and windows, comprised the manager's private office. Little Midge was sitting up playing with some show children who had brought in a lot of toys. Andy went outside with Billy.
It just seems as if I couldn't wait any longer to know what my birthday surprise is going to be. Do you know, Eliza?" "Faix, an' I do, Miss Midge, an' it's a foine gift yer uncle has for ye!" "Don't tell me, Eliza, because Uncle Steve said I mustn't ask questions about it; but do you think I'll like it?" "'Like it, is it? 'Deed an' you will thin! Ye'll go crazy as a loonytic wid joy and delight!
I'm going to make fudge for her, while she's gone to-day." "I wish I could do something for her. Boys are no good!" "You are too!" cried loyal little Kitty. "You can help her with her arithmetic every night. She can do it all right, if she has a little help, and Glad used to help her a lot." "Good for you, Kitsie! of course I will. Dear old Midge, I'm terrible sorry for her."
On it flew, then seemed to leap into the air, and once more sped forward till it reached the further slope of snow, up which it travelled for a distance, and stopped, appearing, even to Otter's keen sight, no larger than a midge upon a table-cloth.
Who that has swallowed the camel of Jonah's journey will be guilty of the affectation of straining at such a historical gnat nay, midge as the supposition that the mother of Moses was told the story of the Flood by Jacob; who had it straight from Shem; who was on friendly terms with Methuselah; who knew Adam quite well?
It seemed hard that Molly and Midge had no one to appreciate the results of their labors, but Hoopsy Topsy was washing the dishes after the family meal, Plumpy was asleep on the floor, and Dibbs was playing out in the door-yard, with some battered old toys. So, taking their baskets, Molly and Midge started homeward.
It is the same with the eagle in respect to natural features as it is with the midge in respect to the features of the man. The eagle sees only the bare outward appearance of Nature, and sees no meaning in her features. It has no soul to enter into the soul of Nature and understand what the natural features are expressing.
But I'll tell you, we'll buy some of those cakes to take home, and you may have them to-morrow." "And Kitty and King, too," said Midge. "And let's take them some buttercups." So the candy and cakes were bought and carried home by two tired but very happy people, and Marjorie fully appreciated the lovely day her father had given her, because of Gladys's going away.
