And there are some things that I used to have when I was a girl. I moved them here from our old home. Don't you think you would like to play up there?" "Oh, of course we would!" cried Rose. "We can take up our dolls!" "And have a play-party!" added Violet. "And dress up and play go visiting," added Margy. "I'm going to make something!" cried Russ, with a jolly whistle.
And while the tree-climbing fun was going on Bunny only went up his own little tree, where he was in no danger. After a time the boys became tired of this play, and when Sue, Sadie and Helen invited them to come to the "play-party," Bunny and his friends were pleased enough to come. "And we're going to have real things to eat, and not make-believe ones, Bunny," said Sue.
"We'll have a lovely time," thought Matilda, who was called Brighteyes for short. "We'll dress up all our dolls and have a play-party, and maybe mamma will give us real things to eat." Well, Brighteyes was thinking so much about the party, and about Jennie Chipmunk, whom she had not seen in some time, that she didn't pay much attention to anything else.
Meanwhile, to make matters sure, Geldern arranged a play-party at my house, inviting you thither with your bank, as you may remember; and finding means, at the same time, to let Maxime de Magny know that there was to be faro at Madame de Liliengarten's. It was an invitation the poor fellow never neglected.
"They taste just like just like a play-party!" he finished. "So they do!" cried Sue. "I was trying to think what it was they tasted like but it's a party!" "What a queer way for jam tarts to taste!" laughed Aunt Lu. "But I am glad you like them. I'll make some more some day." "Oh, fine!" exclaimed Bunny. "And oh, Mother! Maybe we could have one!" His eyes were shining brightly.
They played tag, and hide-and-go-seek, as well as teeter-tauter, and bean-bag. Then Mrs. Bruce gave them some cookies and milk, and they had a little play-party. But, when it came time for Bunny and Sue to go home, they thought of Splash again. "I wonder if he'll be there waiting for us," said Sue, as they came within sight of their Grandpa Brown's house. "I hope so," said Bunny.
I'll ask her!" offered Nan, as she saw the Bobbsey's fat and good-natured colored cook cross the lawn with a small basket of clothes to hang up. "We'll have a little play-party out in the barn." "But I'm going to be real hungry not make believe!" said Freddie. "I want to eat real." "And so you can!" declared Nan. "I'll get enough for all of us."
Oh, let's all buy candy and then we can have a play-party with it!" "I'm not going to buy candy!" exclaimed Laddie. "What are you going to get?" Rose asked. "A toy balloon," Laddie answered. "I'm going to see how far up I can make it go." "How are you going to get it back?" asked Russ. "I'll tie a string to it. I know how to do it.
It was Aunt Sharley who had dressed them for their first real party not a play-party, as the saying went down our way, but a regular dancing party, corresponding to a début in some more ostentatious and less favoured communities.
There were bits of cabbage, some red clover tops with marshmallow-chocolate on them, and candied cherries, and red raspberries with strawberry sauce, and oh, I don't know what all! "Why!" exclaimed Brighteyes, "that is a regular little play-party, Buddy." "To be sure it is," he answered. "And look, there is a sign fastened to the box. Let's go closer, and read what it says on it."
