So they turned around and went to the sand-pile, and the foreman stayed there a little while and played in the sand. Then he had to go away; and the mortar man had gone away, and nobody was there but David and his cat. And David thought that he would help the mortar man, so he filled his cart with sand and dragged it over to the mortar box and shoveled it in.
And his cat was there, waiting for him, and his cart was there, with his shovel and his hoe in the bottom of it. And he stooped down and took hold of the handle of his cart, and he trudged to the new house, dragging his cart. The mortar man had gone some time before, and there wasn't any sand-pile, but the foreman saw him coming. "Hello, Davie," he called. "Hello," David called back.
Mike jumped in and took up the reins and Tim followed after, and out of the yard and down the road they went, sending a cloud of dust after them. From all sides went up the cry: "Look at Mike O'Hara, he has got a new goat!" And from front-yard, back-yard and sand-pile flocked the children to see the fun.
He dropped the hand from her shoulder and moved slowly away, but when he reached the door he stopped and spoke again, without turning to look at her. "The Realty Company'll go right on just the same," he said. "It's like it's like sand, mamma. It puts me in mind of chuldern playin' in a sand-pile.

Do you want to put that horseshoe under it?" "Um, h'm," replied Jane. She walked along the top of the foundation, and Bingham followed her. Jane moved on until she found a practicable stone in a suitable angle. "About here, I think," she said, tapping the stone with her toe. "Do you want me to pry it out?" "If you can. There's a sort of sharp stick over on that sand-pile."
The little boy watched him until he had come up out of the cellar. And he asked the man whether he would want any more sand, but the man said that he wouldn't for some time. So the little boy went and played in the sand-pile for a long time, and, while he was playing, his cat came and rubbed against him. Then the little boy got up. "I've got to go now," he said to the mortar man. "Good-bye."
