"And them lovely pink garters!" "Ker-chew!" "Oh, you cutey! Oh, you cut-up!" "Ker-chew!" "Oh, you candy kid!" "And say, git onto the cunnin' elbow sleeves our little playmate's sportin'." "Yes, but goils, just pipe the poilies ain't they the greatest ever?" "They sure are. Say, kiddo, gimme one of 'em to remember you by, won't you? You'll never miss it you got a-plenty more."
And several times she attempted to tell Phronsie something of the shadow hanging over the little playmate's home. But Phronsie invariably put aside all her attempts with a gentle persistence, always saying, "He wouldn't, you know, Mamsie." And at nightfall Helen had gone; and two white little hands were folded quietly across a young girl's breast. No one told Phronsie that night; no one could.
DEAR PLAYMATE, You said on our tramp that I would make a good playmate, but I'm sure that I should be a very poor one if I did not wish you a gloriously merry Xmas & a New Year that will bring you all the dear things you want. But if by any chance you are in town, won't you make your playmate's shout to you from her back yard a part of your Xmas?
Hester's childish heart had swelled with bitter envy whenever she saw the coveted music roll swinging from some playmate's hand. At that time her favorite "make-believe" had been to play at going for a music lesson, with a carefully modeled roll of brown paper suspended by a string from her fingers. Hester was forty now.
If Sir Jeoffry and his crew had dreamed that such a thought worked in the mind of one of the richest young noblemen in England he a Duke and handsome enough to set any woman's heart beating as he rode through the Gloucestershire lanes; if they had dreamed that such a thing was within the bounds of human possibility, what a tumult would have been roused among them; how they would have stared at each other, with mouths open, uttering exclamatory oaths of wild amazement and ecstatic triumph; how they would have exulted and drunk each other's healths and their wild playmate's and her splendid fortunes.
Moss's great amusement; for she saw in it only some playmate's prank, and was not much impressed by the mysterious sneeze and laugh. "We'll have a grand rummage Monday, and find out what is going on over there," was all she said. But Mrs.
Buck could see his eyes close presently, and then the puppy crept closer, put his head on his playmate's chest, and the two lay thus asleep. And still Buck looked his clasp loosening on his pistol and his lips loosening under his stiff mustache and kept looking until the door opened again and the woman crossed the floor.
Wherefore I beg of you, dear mother, to cook one of the little pigs instead, that I may be able to go on with my work, and that a pair of stockings may be ready to-morrow morning when the Ogre will ask for them; so my playmate's life will be spared, and your head will not be put into a poke."
But I saw also the appeal in the eyes of the Playmate, and I was resolved not to give her the chance. "Are you never weary in this dull tower?" asked the lawyer's daughter, still holding the Playmate's hand. "It is not dull," replied Helene. "I have my work. There are two men as shiftless and helpless as babes to attend to, and none to help me but old Hanne."
"Sank you very much," he replied, with an unpleasant whistling intake of breath; with another profound bow to the ladies, he turned and followed Murray to his room. "Well, John," Mrs. Parker demanded, as the Japanese disappeared, "your little playmate's quite like a mechanical toy. For heaven's sake, where did you pal up with him?"
