But if you do not allow me to run and romp and dig in the ground, I shall keep running away, no matter how many horrid spiders come to frighten me!" And Nurse Holloweg, who had really been much alarmed at so nearly losing her precious charge, thought it wise to agree to Miss Muffet's terms.
"Certainly," said the spider, "we must invite Jonas, and we must arrange some moral amusement. Suppose in your invitation you leave out the word 'party' and ask him to attend a 'serious symposium. How would this do? 'Respected Sir, You are earnestly requested to attend a serious symposium at Miss Muffet's, to meet the Rev. Swiss Robinson and other persons interested in the education of youth.
Out of compliment to Miss Muffet's party, admission to the Fables would be free, though ten cents would be charged to those who remained to the Morals, which, I am sorry to say, very few did. Some of the Fables were unusually terrifying, such as the Lions and the hungry Wolves, and Miss Muffet was glad to see what strong bars there were to their cages.
People's jints bain't made to hold out for ever-'n-ever. Will 'um now? 'No, they won't! joined in Queenie comprehendingly. 'Miss Muffet's jints are giving way, too. Just look, Binks! She held up for inspection an elaborately dressed lady, whose arms and legs were in such a tremulous condition that their total lapse from the body to which they belonged would have been no surprise.
The story of Muffet's wild ride with the raw recruits and Muffet's method of quelling a mob was often told that summer at the rear long after Lieutenant Davies and the recruits in question had gone to the front and were lost to all communication. The officer who went in command from Omaha was an expert.
Alick winced still at the remembrance of the captain's wrath, and also of the captain's whip, which he by no means spared on his boys' backs. 'I certainly hope that father won't get to know about this row! he muttered uneasily, as he finished screwing on Miss Muffet's leg, and set her up as proud as the best.
'Twas the night before Christmas, and it was very quiet in Mrs. Muffet's house, altogether too quiet, thought little Miss Muffet, as she sat trying to eat her curds and whey. For Mrs. Muffet was a very severe mother and had her own ideas about bringing up children, and so had Mr. Muffet, or rather he had the same ideas, only warmed over.
Have you noticed it?" Their father was bent almost double swinging Doda between his legs, the stomach of Doda reposing on the palms of his joined hands and Doda squealing ecstatically. Their father said, "I have. Go and look at that photograph, Rosalie, and you'll see why. Look at what her people are. Muffet's broadening down from precedent to precedent." It made their mother laugh.
'I shall ask father for some of that famous liniment of his, Binks, said Theo. 'I could send you over some in a little bottle; the boys shall bring it this evening. 'If you ask me candid, I should say that glue would be the best liniment to patch them jints! Binks was stolidly contemplating the loose condition of Miss Muffet's limbs. 'We're at cross purposes! laughed Theo.
The salt water and the sand are still on their brown limbs, and in the Boy's serious eyes and Miss Muffet's smile there is something outside my knowledge; but I know that in the depth of that mystery is security and content.
