But if you'll excuse me, I'll go home now. I'm not well, and mother'll be alarmed about me I ought not to have left father alone to tend store, and I feel that I've taken cold. I presume some of these folks will have a spare seat, and my boots have shrunk, and I don't care for picnics as a general thing, anyway.
"Be me soul an' he ought to be proud out of you, Connor, whether you're in arnest or not," observed the mother, "an' to stretch out wid the arrighad too if you want it." "Folly on, Connor, folly on! your mother'll back you, I'll go bail, say what you will; but sure you know all I have must be yours yet, acushla."
Just fancy the opportunities one would have for seeing how much he knows about engineering," replied Kenneth. "Maybe we can fix it so mother'll allow us to show you the way up. I'd love to go again," ventured Polly, enthusiastically, as she forgot herself in the absorbing subject of the gold mine. "Ken and I have to be back at camp to-night!

Billy, Jimmy, Frances, and Lina had been playing "Fox and Geese." Running around the house they spied the ladder and saw no owner to deny them. "Le's clam' up and get on top the porch," suggested Jimmy. "Aunt Minerva'll put me to bed if I do," said Billy. "Mother'll make me learn a whole page of the catechism if I climb a ladder," said Lina.
"The necklace is probably gracing the swarthy neck of some fair gypsy damsel," remarked the latter, rather flippantly. "Here we offer you a whole silver service, and you're not satisfied." Mollie looked from one to the other of her two tormentors in pathetic bewilderment. "Please, please!" she begged. "Mother'll be wild when she hears about the silver.

Dotty's goodness ran on with a ceaseless flow till two o'clock, when that event took place which the children regarded as the most important one of the day that is, dinner.

Cousin Ann listened attentively and nodded her head. "Yes, I think that would be a good idea," she said. "We were thinking last night we ought to do something for him. If you'll make the clothes, Mother'll knit him some stockings and Father will get him some shoes. Mr. Pond never makes his spring trip till late May, so we'll have plenty of time."
"And spilt father's beer," the child answered. Her frail little body shook with terror. "Mother'll beat me when I go home," she said. "What does mother do when you bring the jug back safe and sound?" Alban asked. "Gives me bren-butter." "Very well. Now listen to me. Mother shall give you bread and butter again this time." The child stared at him with the tears suspended in her eyes.
There is a chemist body coming through from the cordite works at Aberfay who can't come in the day but Saturday mornings, and you ken Mr. Philip's away to London for the week-end by the 8.30, so he's seeing him the night.
