"If he was driving reindeers, now, instead of dogs," laughed Bobby, "and I met him with all that ice on his beard, and his netsek white and glistening with the frost that way, I'd think he had stepped right out of the old picture book." "Good old Partner!" said Jimmy. "I think I'll drop back with him a while and keep him company."
But say, I want to ask you do you think we'll meet Santa Claus before we get home?" "No, Freddie. The idea! What makes you think that?" "Well, it's near Christmas, and we're out in a sled, and he goes out in a sled, only with reindeers of course, and " Freddie's voice trailed off sleepily. In fact he had aroused himself from almost a nap to ask Nan the question.
About one o'clock we stopped and began to feed our horses, as the grass just there was very good. Here we thought ourselves in safety. We saw many calming indications. On the mountains were seen the grazing herds of reindeers and yaks and approaching Soyots confirmed our supposition. Here behind the Tannu Ola the Soyots had not seen the Red soldiers.
If it hadn't been for me this bunch would have taught you a lot of things you'd better learn some other way. Just for one thing, long before this you'd probably been hopping up your reindeers and driving all over in a Chinese sleigh." He tried to make something of this, but found the words meaningless. They merely suggested to him a snowy winter scene of Santa Claus and his innocent equipage.
The woman spoke seldom, staring dreamily into the fire. A clock in another room struck eight; the woman glanced over to where the child sat, absorbed with the pictures in his book. The page at which he was looking showed a sleigh loaded with toys, with a team of reindeers and a jolly, fat, white-bearded, red-jacketed old man driving the sleigh over the chimney tops.
"But you'll come again at Christmas, won't you?" asked Flossie as she said goodbye. "We'll try," said her Uncle Bobbsey. "But maybe there won't be room, with Santa Claus and all his reindeers." "Oh, we'll make room for you," spoke Freddie. "Santa Claus won't stay long." With a merry peal of laughter the visitors went off to the station, waving farewells.
Very recent traces of the reindeer and musk-ox were seen in many places; and a head of the latter, with several reindeers' horns, was brought on board.
"There will be no lobsters at Deerfield!" said Mr. Pertell, with a smile, "unless there are some of the canned variety." "How horrid!" complained Miss Pennington. "Will there be deers there?" asked Tommy, with big eyes. "I think there will, sonny," answered the manager. "Reindeers like Santa Claus has?" little Nellie wanted to know. "Well, I guess so!" laughed Mr. Pertell.
And most of the five generations of children is with him here. But marryin' as they do at ten or twelve, they can be grandpa a good many times in a hundred years, as well as not. In this village is their housen, their earth huts, their tepees, orniments, reindeers, dogs, sledges, fur clothin', boats, fishin' tackle, etc., etc.
We are minus a chimney on this insinuator, but we are bettin' on you and the reindeers just the same, to slip one over on us and come shinnin' down a cocoanut-tree with your pack. Never mind the trimmin's and holly, just bring plenty of cut plug and dry matches." And so the day worn on.
