"Them's my redishes!" exclaimed Freddie, as he saw the pretty bright red buttons peeping out from between the lettuce leaves. "But we can all have some, can't we, Freddie?" his father asked. "Yes, 'course you can. But I don't want all my good redishes smothered in that big dish of green stuff," he pouted.
"You have done splendidly. This is a fine lettuce patch." Mrs. Bobbsey and Aunt Sarah had also come up to see the girls' garden, and they too were much surprised at the result of Nan's and Flossie's work. "Oh!" screamed Freddie from the other side of the garden. "See my redishes!
Nan exclaimed, referring to the luscious red strawberries in the white dish she held. "Look at mine," insisted Flossie. "Aren't they bigger?" "Fine!" ejaculated Dinah. "But my redishes are-are redder," argued Freddie, who was not to be outdone by his sisters. "Ours are sweeter," laughed Nan, trying to tease her little brother. "Ours are ours are " "Hotter," put in Dinah, which ended the argument.
"Well, I do declare!" exclaimed Miss Lavender, after the first cordial greetings were over. "Seems almost like a different place, things is so snugged up and put to rights." "Yes," said Mary Potter; "I had hardly the heart, before, to make it everything that we wanted; and you can't think what a satisfaction I have in it now." "Yes, I can! Give me the redishes, while you stick in them beets.
"That ain't redishes!" exclaimed Freddie "I want to plant redishes." "But this is the seed, and that's what makes the radishes," John explained. "Nope, that's black and it can't make it red?" argued Freddie. "Wait and see," the gardener told him. "You just take this little paper of seeds and scatter them in the drill. See, I have mixed them with sand so they will not grow too thick."
"He's awful like Dan when he smiles," said she, simply. And for the first time their eyes met. "Say, thank you, for the redishes and the custard pie and that cheese, Johnnie," said Shandon, awkwardly, but her eyes thanked this one friend for much more. "Aw, shucks!" said Johnnie, gently, as she dislodged a drying clod of mud from the buggy robe.
