Like the little lame boy in that story of the 'Pied Piper of Hamelin. Because he couldn't keep up with the others when they followed the piper's tune, he had to sit and watch them dance away without him, and disappear into the mountainside. He was the only child left in the whole town of Hamelin. It is lonely for you, I know, with all the boys and girls of your own age away at school.
"You talk too much," observed his master, in affectionate reproof; "'t is fitting that small yellow dogs should be seen and not heard." It was scarcely sunrise, but the Piper's day began and ended early. He had a roaring fire in the tiny stove which warmed his shop, and the tea-kettle hummed cheerily. All about him was the atmosphere of immaculate neatness.
The dance is at the Piper's this time the last Piper dance of the Southampton season and the biggest other people may give dances after it but everybody who knows will only think of them as relatively pleasant or useless addenda.
He had keen blue eyes and a natural gift of pleasing people that might have made him, socially, had he not so obviously committed the blunder of marrying too early in his career. "I'm glad to know Piper's wife," he said simply. "It looks as though your husband and I are going to see a lot of each other in the future."
Uncle Piper's exasperating 'gentleman' son George is also a noticeably clever creation in a book full of good portraits; and it is a tribute to the author's skill that as the story progresses our sympathy for him increases rather than diminishes, notwithstanding the needless agonies of rage he occasions his father.
Tom did not like to steal, but he had no one to teach him to be honest, and so, under his father's guidance, he fell into bad ways. One morning Tom, Tom, the piper's son, Was hungry when the day begun; He wanted a bun and asked for one, But soon found out that there were none. "What shall we do?" he asked his father
That he might protect himself from the thorns, he put on a pair of those ancient leather gloves, of which three pair were given him annually at the Piper's Court; so that there was no dearth of the article. He wore also a loose dressing-gown, and a folded black velvet cap upon his head; so that he might have passed for an intermediate person between Alcinous and Laertes.
At Mother Piper's "Pete-weet," Peter answered, "Peep," lifted his wings, and flew right past Nearby Island and landed on a rock on Faraway Island. And, "Peep," called Sandy, fluttering after. And, "Peep," said Pan, stopping himself in the midst of his teetering, and flying over Nearby Island on his way to the new camp-ground.
Seems kind of a pity to kill her, she was so handsome. But she eats real well. Now, you mustn't forget to let me take a wing home to Sabriny. You know you always promised her a wing for her hat when the white turkey was killed." Sabriny was Aunt Piper's niece, who had been left at home to keep house. "Sure enough I did," said Aunt Kittredge.
And then Oliver tried to rise to Mr. Piper's magnificence of conventionality in remark. "By the way, sir, I'm driving back in Peter's car as soon as Mrs. Severance and I have finished our talk I couldn't pick you up anywhere, sir, could I?" Mr. Piper smiled, consulting his watch.
