"You couldn't have hit upon a better name than 'Smiler," said George Shelton, much amused by the peculiar visit they had received. "Did you ever see one with so broad a grin? My only fear is that the other chaps will be jealous of him and expect us to give them presents, too. We haven't enough to go a tenth of the way round; but I couldn't refuse that codger."
A prettier one you never saw in France or Cuba, Miss Carrie, that's what papa calls you, I suppose?" "It used to be my name," said the little smiler; "but papa always calls me Linny now, because he thinks it sweeter." "What say you to the humming-bird now?" I whispered to my aunt, as we were a moment alone in the tea-room. "Kate, I wish you were fifty miles off at this moment!
They were soon crossing each other's front. "Weh-hey!" said the tranter to Smiler. "Weh-hey!" said Dick to Smart, in an echo of the same voice. "Th'st hauled her back, I suppose?" Reuben inquired peaceably. "Yes," said Dick, with such a clinching period at the end that it seemed he was never going to add another word. Smiler, thinking this the close of the conversation, prepared to move on.
Unasked they come delighted to delude The expectation of our baffled pride; No law can call their free steps to our side. Before the fortune-favored son of earth, Apollo walks and, with his jocund mirth, The heart-enthralling smiler of the skies For him gray Neptune smooths the pliant wave Harmless the waters for the ship that bore The Caesar and his fortunes to the shore!
Old Smiler had told them that I was coming all the rest, I mean, except Annie for having escaped from his halter-ring, he was come out to graze in the lane a bit; when what should he see but a strange horse coming with young master and mistress upon him, for Annie must needs get up behind me, there being only sheep to look at her.
Smiler had sniffed the floor of the empty house, the empty stables, the corral. His folks were going somewhere. Well, he was ready. Little Jim, who had been gazing wistfully at Smiler, suddenly strode to his pack and sat down. He bit his lips. Tears welled to his eyes and drifted slowly down his cheeks.
"Shall I gi'e him a bucket, Joey?" he said again. "Nay," said the man addressed. "Nobody never give you a bucket, Smiler, when you lay down in a ditch." The others laughed, and Smiler winced a little. "Make him wet outside as well as in!" "Yah! We don't want to spoil his red coat," said Joey; "he's got it pratty will syled without. Why, he must ha' been here all night! Here, soger, wake up!"
'I hear you, replied Jogglebury scornfully, with another jerk, and another puff into the frill. The two then sat silent for some minutes, Jogglebury still contemplating the progressing head of Lord Brougham, and recalling the eye and features that some five-and-twenty years before had nearly withered him in a breach of promise action, 'Smiler v.
One day he saw his father's plow-boy come galloping up to the door in great haste. This boy brought Brown word that his mother was dangerously ill, and that his father had sent his own best bay mare Smiler, that his son might lose no time, but set out directly to see his mother before she died.
As we were sitting together in my aunt's room after his departure, the child brought her a small packet which her father had intrusted to her. "I believe," said the little smiler, "he said it was a story for you to read. Won't you please to read it to me?" She took it with a look of surprise and curiosity, and immediately opened it and began to read.
