"Fell strong enough for an auto ride, Elsie?" he twinkled. "Me?" gasped the little girl. "You don't mean me, do you?" "If your name is Elsie Meyer, you're the one," he replied. "Oh, my! O-h, m-y!" she cried. "Polly! Polly! He's goin' to take me to ride!" And she whirled Polly round and round in her excited joy.
The people laughed aloud; the comedian fixed his eyes upon her face, and with hands pressed against his stomach groaned, "O-h! how hungry I am!" and then she opened that bag and drew forth two long, twisted, fried cakes, rose, stood on her tip-toes, and reaching them up to him tearfully remarked: "Here, you poor soul, take these. They are awful dry; but it's all I've got with me."
He was lying on his face amid a heap of rolled rugs, clothes hangers and furs, quite motionless. She knew enough to run into the servants' rooms, fling open the windows and, with all the strength in her young body, drag the inanimate youth across the floor and into the fresh air. "O-h!" she said, and said it only once.
For a moment memory was swept away in the flood of astonishment and joy that overwhelmed her. Then, like a menace, the haughty girl of the sheep pasture loomed before her. "Oh! no! no!" she gasped. "Why do you say such things to me? you engaged to Blanche Puddicombe!" "O-h!" It held a note of exultation. "Has that absurd story reached you? Miss Sterling, there is not an atom of truth in it!"

"My name is Lamy," growlingly replied the other, as he rose cautiously. "Oh, o-h. Percy Lamy." "No, just Lamy. Lamy's my name, an' I ain't ashamed of it. You'd find it out sooner or later anyway, I expect."
The wide lawn on the south side, with the background of evergreens, is magnificent!" "I am glad you like that. I never tire of it. So you don't want me to trim the trees up as some folks advise?" "O-h!" she gasped. "The effect would be ruined!" He smiled. "I might have done it to please you, but I think I'd have argued a little first."
'I have not yet had an opportunity of mentioning, said his Majesty, in a low tone, and with an air of considerable confusion, 'that I have thought fit, as a reward for his past services, to promote Cerberus to the office of the Master of the Hounds. He therefore is no longer responsible. 'O-h! shrieked the Furies, as they elevated their hideous eyes.
Polly was ahead and threw it wide open on a pretty picture, little Mrs. Jocelyn seated in a wheel chair, Dr. Dudley and a porter in the background. "Oh, o-h!" cried Polly, "how perfectly lovelicious!" And she stepped aside to let the guest roll herself in. Miss Lucy came forward with a glad greeting, while the flock of girls and boys retreated, struck with sudden shyness.
Johnny did not hear, did not feel her fingers pressing hard upon his biceps. Johnny stood like a man hypnotized; wide-eyed, the white line around his mouth, all his young soul straining after the airplane that went sailing away like a hawk balancing on outstretched wings. "Oh-h-h-h!" gasped Mary V again, and squeezed his arm without knowing that she did so. "O-h he's coming back!
Jim swipes the grub; I build the fires'n help cook'n wipe dishes for Jim when I ain't sick, 'n I mind Miss Kennett's babies right along, she most allers has new ones, 'n she gives me my lunch for doin' it." "Is Mrs. Kennett nice and kind?" "O-h, yes; she's orful busy, yer know, 'n won't stand no foolin'." "Is there a Mr. Kennett?" "Sometimes there is, 'n most allers there ain't."
