"Tisn't very cold," said Phronsie, tucking up her toes under the night-gown, but Polly hurried her into bed, where she curled herself up under the clothes, watching her make a big knot. But the knot didn't stay; for when Polly drew up the long thread triumphantly to the end out it flew, and away the button hopped again as if glad to be released.
Marjorie and Hollis are bright enough for every purpose in life excepting to become leaders." "Are you going to church, to-night?" Hollis inquired as she seated herself carefully on the sled. "In the church?" she asked, bracing her feet and tucking the ends of her shawl around them. "Yes; an evangelist is going to preach." "Evangelist!" repeated Marjorie in a voice with a thrill in it.
So jolly Robin gave him his sword again, which the Friar buckled to his side, and this time looked to it that it was more secure in its fastenings; then tucking up his robes once more, he took Robin Hood upon his back and without a word stepped into the water, and so waded on in silence while Robin sat laughing upon his back.

Mamie wondered if that was the way he talked to her visitor, but felt obliged to own to his acuteness. It was an exact description of Lady Wantridge, and she was conscious of tucking it away for future use in a corner of her miscellaneous little mind. She withheld however all present acknowledgment, only addressing him another question. "Did you really get on with her?"
