And when you waggled your whip at them they grinned and waved their hands, and one of them shouted something meant to be jolly." "It just means, lovey," he answered, "that they made up their minds it was a beano after all, and that they'd got wind up about nothing. The mongrel sportsman and the bashful wench in a sun-bonnet were after all, they thought, a genuine substitute for Ned Blossom."
"Mamma, I wish you could contrive some way to keep her in the cabin can't you? she looks so odd in that queer sun-bonnet kind of a thing, that anybody would think she had come out of the woods; and no gloves too; I shouldn't like to have the Miss M'Arthurs think she belonged to us; can't you, Mamma?" If a thunderbolt had fallen at Ellen's feet, the shock would hardly have been greater.
"I am happy, madam," said Mr Brandon, in his most courteous manner, "that that day is past." "My staying won't do you any good," said the old lady, whose purple sun-bonnet seemed to heave with the uprisal of her hair, "except, perhaps, to get you a better meal than the servants would have given you.
So Cynthia put on a discouraged-looking gingham sun-bonnet, which drooped over her face, and gave her a more appealing look than ever, and we went over to the pine-woods, which were beautiful that day. She showed me a little waterfall made by a brook that came over a high ledge of rock covered with moss, and here and there tufts of fresh green ferns.

"Me's very nice. Don says so."

She ran about, searching for these articles and banging doors, till Aunt Izzie was out of patience.

At last she roused and looked at Nancy Ellen, waiting in smiling complaisance as she returned the picture to her end of the bureau. "Well, why don't you go ahead?" cried Kate in a thick, rasping voice. "Empty yourself! Who is he?
Both had straw gypsy hats with flowers and ruffled capes of black silk. They looked up at her. She was going to smile down to them in the innocent belief that all little girls must be glad to see each other. One of them giggled yes, she absolutely did, and said: "Oh, what a queer-looking thing! Her frock comes down to her shoe-tops like an old woman's and that sun-bonnet!
