"In those dusty clothes and with your sandals off! A nice condition for the shopkeepers to see a Judge's children in!" "Oh, hang a Judge's children," muttered Pauline, but not until Anna had returned to the house. "Wish daddy was a butcher," said Muffie.
"'Out on the earth where the fairies play," wrote Pauline, and the next line said, "Prime middle cuts at Octavius Smith's, Elevenpence a pound." "Here's Larkin," called Muffie excitedly, "an' he's coming very slowly, so he can't be in a hurry. Let's ask him for another ride." The four clambered on to the gate again. Larkin was riding back with lowered crest.
"I wanted my last tuppence for some pink wool can't you find some paper in the house?" said Muffie on discovering that the disbursement Pauline declared necessary was for mere paper. "No," said Pauline firmly; "authors always have plenty of clean paper. I won't use the half sheets Miss Bibby gives us to scribble on."
"It was a clean one, Muffie, or I should have passed you a fresh plateful," said Miss Bibby; "at the same time that does not excuse Max for his ill-behaviour. Max, before I can overlook your conduct you must apologize to Muffie and to Anna." Muffie looked important; she rather enjoyed being apologized to.
Half-way down the hill again, Lynn, speechless with the thought of telling Pauline and Muffie about her brilliant success, Max, a little depressed he could never walk before breakfast without feeling very large and hollow inside Hugh, blandly holding to him the parcel of eggs and bacon, met an unexpected sight Kate toiling along up the steep grade on her bicycle.
"Go on," said Pauline. "'Oncepon a time there was' " "I've got that, be quick," said Paul. "'Oncepon a time there was a a " Muffie looked appealingly at Lynn. "A fairy?" suggested Lynn. "A little dog?" said Max who had strolled back. "Yes, a little dog," said Muffie gratefully. "Go on, I've got that," said Paul. "'Oncepon a time there was a little dog and it it "
"No," said Pauline sadly, "they've gone to New Zealand, mamma got quite ill with nursing us, and daddie got it too, and he wouldn't come up here." Muffie giggled. "People's laugh 'cause daddie's got it," she volunteered. "But in New Zealand, you see," explained Pauline gravely, "no one will know him." Mrs. Gowan smiled a little as others had done.
So Pauline leaned back and gave herself airs. "I shall write my own story first," she said, "and you are none of you to speak a word to interrupt me, or I won't write yours at all. Max, stop scratching on the table; Muffie, don't shuffle your feet like that, you put my vein out."
"Hugh Kinross! Hugh Kinross! And at 'Tenby'!" Miss Bibby looked as excited as Muffie had done, when, going to feed her guinea-pig the day before, she found five little pinny gigs, as she tumultuously expressed it, had been unexpectedly added unto her stock. Then she tried to pull herself swiftly together and to look as Miss Bibby should look.
"Whooping cough," said Pauline with extreme dejection in her tone, and as if for a guarantee of her veracity Max was seized with a paroxysm then and there, and Muffie followed suit. "Oh, drive on!" cried the lady hastily to her man, and gave an alarmed look at her own little flock.
