Baxter would accept without a struggle a daughter-in-law who, five years before, had bobbed to her, wearing a pinafore, and carrying in a pair of rather large hands a basket of eggs to her back door. Then she had consented to see the girl, and the interview in the garden had left her more distressed than ever. Now, therefore, there was a new situation to face, and Mrs.
We would require some one to carry our purchase, and each of the bright-eyed, short-cropped Jeans and Pierres was eager to offer himself. But our selection was already made. A slender boy in a béret and black pinafore, who had been our earliest spectator, was singled out and entrusted with the conveyance of the arbre de Noël to our hotel.
The words were hearty with sincerity, and the woman's intention of rendering neighborly assistance genuine, for she promptly produced a large pinafore from under her arm and proceeded to put it on. "You're just as good as you can be," Lucy exclaimed. "But indeed I couldn't think of letting you do my work, especially on such a hot day as this." "Why not? Didn't I just tell you I came to help?
They come naturally, and sometimes come as a godsend. You never can tell when a particular opera is announced what you are going to get." "Then why don't you substitute something in place of 'Pinafore?" meekly suggested the Little 'Un. "Pardon me, my unthinking friend, but you lose sight of the fact that substitutions are always unsatisfactory, if not positively dangerous.
The man had not known one happy hour since he had left the children in the forest; the woman, however, was dead. Grethel emptied her pinafore until pearls and precious stones ran about the room, and Hansel threw one handful after another out of his pocket to add to them. Then all anxiety was at an end, and they lived together in perfect happiness.
She would not wear a pinafore; if it had been put on, she would burst the strings, and perhaps in throwing it away knock her plate of mutton broth over the tablecloth and her own dress. Then she fancied first one thing and then another; she did not like this or that; she wanted a bit cut here or there.
Charles Stuart, having accomplished his purpose in fixing Elizabeth's attention upon himself once more, desisted, and cast his last stone with a crash into the raspberry bushes by the roadside. "Ain't you goin' to read it?" he asked, with his back towards her. "Read what, the candy?" "O' course." Elizabeth paused and rummaged in her pinafore.
Winnie came out to meet her as she came in at the gate panting and scarlet-faced. Fifty years instead of five might Winnie have been at that moment, and all the cares of Church and State on the shoulders of his pinafore, to judge from the pucker in his chin. There was always a pucker in Winnie's chin, when he felt—as the boys call it—"big." "What do s'pose, Gypsy?—don't you wish you knew?"
Yes yes No, don't be frightened, a dear. No Come to mother " and she catches his little pinafore by the tip and the infant lurches forward. "There! There! A beautiful walk! A beautiful walker, yes! Walked all the way to mother, baby did. Yes, he did " Now who will tell me that this talk has any rhyme or reason? Not a spark of reason. Yet a real rhyme: or rhythm, much more important.
"I will begin at the beginning," he said with his eyes fixed on those of the Young Doctor, yet looking beyond him to far-off things. "I will start from the time when I used to watch the gold Cock of Beaugard turning on the mill, when I sat in the doorway of the Manor Cartier in my pinafore.
