"Jim is my big brother " She just caught herself before she said Solly. "And your sister Solly is married and living out West?" "Yes," said Content, with a long breath. "My sister Solly is married." Smiles broke all over her little face. She hid it in Sally's skirts, and a little peal of laughter like a bird-trill came from the soft muslin folds.
Mac tried to soothe him. But Kaviak, casting about for charms to disarm the awful fury of the white man able to endure with dignity any reverse save that of having his syrup spilt cried out: "I solly solly. Our Farva " "I'm sorry, too, Kaviak," Mac interrupted, gathering the child up to him; "and we won't either of us do it any more."
They are still wise enough to know that the miraculous improvements in speed brought about by steam and electricity have not shortened the journey of the soul to heaven by one second. They know that Socrates on a donkey really goes faster than Solly Goldberg in his sixty-horse-power motor-car.
I followed him. Lolabelle wasn't paying my salary. I wondered whether anybody was. "'Luke, says Solly, outside, 'that was an awful mistake. We must have got into the lady's private room. I hope I'm gentleman enough to do anything possible in the way of apologies. Do you reckon she'd ever forgive us? "'She may forget it, says I. 'Of course it was a mistake. Let's go find some beans.
And, looking down at the money: "So that's Solly White's share, is it? And I suppose it doesn't include the house he bought, or the car?"

"'Mought as well, says Solly. 'I reckon all these towns are about alike. "Well, maybe the wise cicerone and personal conductor didn't fall hard in Chicago! Loolooville-on-the-Lake is supposed to have one or two things in it calculated to keep the rural visitor awake after the curfew rings. But not for the grass-fed man of the pampas!
He seemed to himself to be on the driveling verge of idiocy before the pronunciation of that absurdly inane name. Content's responding voice came from the pink-and-white nest in which she was snuggled, like the fluting pipe of a canary. "Yes, sir," said she. "My dear child," said the rector, "you know perfectly well that you have no big sister Solly."
Solly Gumble parted with two lemons and two sticks of spirally striped candy of porous fabric. Then the moneyed gourmet dared a new flight. "Two more sticks," he commanded. "You suck one stick down, then you put another in the same old lemon," he explained. "I must say!" exclaimed Merle. It was a high moment, but he never used strong language.
It was a wonderful mercy that the five rash children were spared; but life is full of just such mercies; and of course I knew all the while what was coming, or I could not have written so cheerfully. What was coming? "I see something," shouted Dotty, "ever so far off! It isn't a gull!" "It's a sail! a sail!" cried Solly, and took to his oars again.
You see, Content" Jim's voice faltered, for he was a boy, and on the verge of sentiment before which he was shamed "you see, Content, now your big sister Solly is married and gone out West, why, you can have me for your brother, and of course a brother is a good deal better than a sister." "Yes," said Content, eagerly.
