I am beginning to feel snoozy." Craig had been eying the two, evilly. Set the wind in that direction? An idea found soil in his mind, and grew. He would put a kink, as he vulgarly expressed it, into that affair. He himself wasn't good enough for her. The little cat should see.
They had been playing so long at this game that they had made themselves quite tired and hot, and had sat down on the lawn to rest; and then it was that Una remembered that she had forgotten to shut up "Snoozy," as she had named the hedgehog, after she had given him his breakfast that morning, and now she could not think what had become of him.
And then she would go back to the garden to play with "Snoozy," and to wonder how long it would be before her father came home again. Then one day he came.
To-day, however, although she called and whistled, and looked in all the little animal's usual haunts, she could not find him, and they had almost begun to think that he must have run away into the wood, when Tom thought of the drooping ash-tree at the end of the lawn, and wondered whether "Snoozy" might have hidden himself in there. "How silly of us," cried Norah.
The little girl was silent for some moments. "I know! I will begin about the man in the garden!" she said suddenly. "You remember the black-haired young man whom we found under the ash-tree, the day 'Snoozy' was lost?" "Yes, I remember," said Tom. "Oh, yes, Una!" chimed in Norah. "Can you tell us now what he told you? It was a secret then, you know." "Yes," said Una.
She bade her little friends good-bye then, and carried "Snoozy" away rather sadly to his home in the kitchen garden a disused cucumber frame, where he was generally put for safety when his little mistress was not with him in the garden.
"Miss Peaseley," sed I, gittin up and dustin myself, "you must be more careful with them store teeth of your'n or you'll have to gum it agin!" Methinks I had her. I'd bin to work hard all the week, and I felt rather snoozy. I'm 'fraid I did git half asleep, for on hearin the minister ask, "Why was man made to mourn?" I sed, "I giv it up," havin a vague idee that it was a condrum.
