As he ate, he closed his eyes, half wishing he had not promised Helena, half wishing he had no tomorrow. Leaning back in his chair, he felt something in the way. It was a small teddy-bear and half of a strong white comb. He grinned to himself.
She took the Baby's clothes off the Billiken, and left him all free and unimpeded in his own, fat, white, furry body. You see, she always called the Teddy-Bear the Brown Teddy-Bear because the Billiken was his first cousin, and had a white Teddy-Bear body; it was only their colors and their heads that were different.
She had it folded so that I found myself confronting a picture of Lady Alicia Newland, Lady Alicia in the "Teddy-Bear" suit of an aviator, with a fur-lined leather jacket and helmet and heavy gauntlets and leggings and the same old audacious look out of the quietly smiling eyes, which were squinting a little because of the sunlight.
During the afternoon the merits of the pig were sung and re-sung, and at last Wilson, after kissing his friend on the cheek and whispering, "I like you, Uncle Man-on-the-Hill," took his teddy-bear under his arm and plodded homeward. The next morning he came again, but mournfully and slow. There were tear stains on the little round cheeks.
"It's a Baby doll," said Sara, wishing to offer consolation, but really not knowing what to say. "Humph," said the Brown Teddy-Bear disgustedly. "Babies are as universal as dolls."
Over the heads of the bevy of gilded youths who clustered round the stall their eyes met. A thrill ran through Isabel. She dropped her eyes. The next moment Clarence had made his spring; the gilded youths had shredded away like a mist, and he was leaning towards her, opening negotiations for the purchase of a yellow Teddy-bear at sixteen times its face value.
She seized the Teddy-bear, swung it round her head and brought it down with a resounding thump on Hugo's chest. "Det up," she said more loudly. "Loo don't seem to know any stolies, so you mus' play wis me." Hugo swung his legs off the sofa and sat up to recover his breath, which had been knocked out of him by the Teddy-bear. "You're a very rude little girl," he said crossly.
Linder admired as he was directed, and then the two men fell into a discussion of business matters. Eventually Grant cooked supper, and just as they had finished Mrs. Transley drove up in her motor. "Here we are!" she cried, cheerily. "Glad to see you, Mr. Linder. Wilson has his teddy-bear and his knife and his pyjamas, and is a little put out, I think, that I wouldn't let him bring the pig."
"I wonder if they will let Wriggly into heaven," she said. The boys laughed. They generally laughed at what Baby said. "If they won't I won't go in, either," she added. "Nor me, neither, if they don't let in my Teddy-bear," said Dimples. "I'll tell them it is a nice, clean, blue Wriggly," said Baby. "I love my Wriggly." She cooed over it and hugged it.
"No, Sara," said the Teddy-Bear, smiling sadly. "You don't understand. What I mean is, I'm already old-fashioned; I've had my day. Twenty years from now, nobody will know what you mean when you speak of a Teddy-Bear." "I will," said Sara, squeezing his paw affectionately. "Well, perhaps you will, Sara," admitted the Teddy-Bear, "because you'll remember.
