Mother and Grannie bathed Take's neck, and comforted her; and soon she was happy again and ready to go on with the play. She and Taro harnessed the beetles with threads to the little wagons. But Take let Taro do the harnessing. "You can have that one, and I'll have this," Taro said; "and we'll have a race." He set the beetles on the floor.
"Here's the Empress," she cried; she set the Empress doll up against the trunk. Then she ran to get her dear everyday doll. She called her everyday doll "Morning Glory," and sometimes just "Glory" for short. Glory was still asleep in Take's bed. "Why, you sleepy head!" Take said. "Don't you know you are going to have company to-day? Where are your manners, child?"
Most twins have only one birthday between them, but Japanese twins have two. That is because all the boys in Japan celebrate their birthdays together on one day, and all the girls celebrate theirs together on another day. So, you see, though they were twins, Taro and Take didn't have the same birthday at all. Take's birthday came first.
"That's the way a little Japanese girl should feel," said her Father. "Now, come in and let us take a look at him." They found Bot'Chan awake. Take knelt down on the mat in front of him, to see him better. "Put your head down on the matting, Take," her Father said, and Take bowed her head to the floor. Then the Father took the Baby in his arms and placed his tiny foot on Take's neck.
He often then, goes into the cafes and take's it out in oration, like any common Parisian. In the morning A steamer carried them across the strait and landed them near Mesalonghi at the foot of the railroad that leads to Agrinion. At Agrinion Coleman at last began to feel that he was nearing his goal.
He put its head in his mouth at once and licked it. Just then Take saw O Kiku San. O Kiku San was Take's best friend, and her home was not far from the little house where the Twins lived. O Kiku San had been to buy a doll, too. She had her new doll on her back. It was a large doll, with a red kimono. She ran to speak to Take. "Won't you come into my house on your way home?" she asked.
Richard, ye might ha' made a friend o' me, sir, and it's not too late so to do. I'm not cruel, but I hate lies. I whipped my boy Tom, bigger than you, for not bein' above board, only yesterday, ay! made 'un stand within swing o' this chair, and take's measure.
Of course they were never, never allowed to play with fire, but because it was Take's birthday the Mother said, "Just this once I will sit here beside you and you may have three little charcoal-embers from the tobacco-ban to put in the stove." The tobacco-ban is a little metal box with a place for a pipe and tobacco.
The big dragon kite had a box all to itself; Take's thirty-five dolls were there, too; but, dear me, here I am telling you about kites and dolls, when I should be telling you about the picture of the crow, and what they did with it! First the Twins' Father took it down off the wall and rolled it up. Then he took it in his hand, and he and Taro and Take all went out into the garden.
She sang over and over, and softer and softer, about the little bells; and by the time the hairdresser had finished the Mother's hair and gone away, Bot'Chan was fast asleep. Then Natsu put him down on some soft mats, and combed Take's hair. Take stood still, like a brave little girl, though there were three snarls in it, and Natsu pulled dreadfully!
