Only we must speak low, and not disturb your mamma and baby sister. What's the baby's name, I wonder?" "It's baby," said Neddie. "Yes; but she must have another name besides baby." "No, she hasn't," said Tom. "Her name's going to be Catharine Ellinor," said Letty, forgetting her trouble for a moment. "That's grandmamma's name." "Oh, that's a very pretty name!" said Christie.
"Where are you going, Uncle Wiggily?" asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the muskrat lady housekeeper, as the nice old rabbit gentleman started out from his hollow stump bungalow one afternoon. "Oh, just for a walk in the woods," he answered. "Neddie Stubtail, the little bear boy, told me last night that there were many adventures in the forest, and I want to see if I can find one." "My goodness!
They speak to-day of a member of a despised race, as one who showed "The constant service of the antique world." "Now listen to me, Neddie Dibbs," she said, as she bounced the ball lightly on her tennis-racket, "you are very precipitate.
All at once Blodgett slapped his thin legs and leaned back and laughed until tears started from his faded eyes; Neddie Benson stared at him stupidly, then poured out a flood of silly oaths. The cook burst into a hoarse guffaw, and Roger and Davie Paine chuckled softly. We stopped and looked at each other and then laughed together until we had to sit down on the ground and hold our aching sides.
"Behind that rock we'll be safe from all the heathen in the Chinese Sea." "The lady she said there'd be trouble," Neddie wailed insistently, "and I ain't going over that rock. No, sir, not when I feel squeamish like I do now." With an angry snort Blodgett hesitated on the very summit of the ledge. "Come on, come on," he said. "Listen dah!" the cook whispered.
"Nobody but God could do that," Neddie remarked, half in assertion, half enquiringly. "No, dear child, it is only the voice of God the winds and waters will obey, or the dead when summoned to come forth from their graves. Jesus is God; and he is able to save to the uttermost all that come unto God, by him. The Bible tells us so; the Bible which from beginning to end is God's own holy word.
"You need a paddle!" muttered Morton, contemptuous of such antics; and he proceeded to stuff the rubbish into the chimney-place, adding a light stick or two. Soon there was a leaping blaze under the squat black kettle, which the boy watched with satisfaction. "There!" he said, "we won't have to look those over again. Why, what's baby got? It looks just like a wad of tobacco. Here, Neddie!
Then came the new day with its new duties; and a sad day it was for those of us who had stood together through so many hardships, when Neddie Benson went over the side with a prayer to speed him. We were homeward bound with all sail set, but things that actually had happened already seemed incredible, and concerning the future we could only speculate.
"She said the 4:10, didn't she?" asked Nat for the fourth time in as many minutes. "And meant the 10:04," put in Ned, before Dorothy could reply. "Neddie, I've warned you " and Nat "squared off" in a threatening manner. "Boys! boys!" pleaded Dorothy, stepping in between them with her hands raised to prevent possible trouble. "Well, if you insist," said Nat, with a very gallant bow.
Now the natives launched canoes, which slipped out on the water and lay side by side in the stream. Roger and Neddie Benson got into one; Blodgett and Davie Paine another; the cook and I into a third, Whatever thoughts or plans we six might have, we could not express them to the natives, and we were too widely separated to put them into practice ourselves.
