"Wantsh to go a-widin'!" exclaimed Toddie. "I know you do, dear, but you must wait until some other day," said the lady. "But I wantsh to go," Toddie explained. "And I don't want you to, so you can't," said Mrs. Burton, in a tone which would reduce any reasonable person to hopelessness. But Toddie, in spite of manifest astonishment, remarked: "Wantsh to go a-widin'."
You must both keep away from his room, and be as quiet as possible wherever you may be in the house. Even the sound of people talking is very annoying to a person with the toothache." "Then you's a baddy woman to stay in here an' keep a-talkin' all the whole time," said Toddie, "when it makes poor old Uncle Harry supper so. G'way." Mrs.
Their ride seemed to have toned down their boisterousness and elevated their little souls; their appetites exhibited no diminution of force, but they talked but little, and all that they said was smart, funny, or startling so much so that when, after supper, they invited me to put them to bed, I gladly accepted the invitation. Toddie disappeared somewhere, and came back very disconsolate.
"I know," said Budge, hurrying to a cabinet in a drawer of which his uncle kept the nucleus of a collection of American coinage. "This kind of pennies," Budge continued, "isn't so pretty as our kind, but they're bigger, an' they'll look better on a table-cloth. Now, how old do you think she is?" "I dunno," said Toddie, going into a reverie of hopeless conjecture.
"You's a naughty boy, Buggie;" and here Toddie's tears began to flow afresh. "I AIN'T a bad boy, an' I don't want no old rain nohow, an' that's all about it. An' I don't want to get up, an' Maggie must bring me up my breakfast in bed." "Boo hoo oo," wept Toddie, "wants my brepspup in bed too." "Boys," said I, "now listen.
They gaveded him presentsh, didn't they?" "Yes," said Mrs. Burton; "gold, frankincense, and myrrh." "Why didn't they give him rattles and squealey-balls, like folks did budder Phillie when he was a baby," asked Toddie. "Because, Toddie," said Mrs.
Then I heard Budge say, "I wants to kiss you, too," and I saw my glorious Alice snatch the little scamp into her arms, and treat him with more affection than I ever imagined was in her nature. Then she seized Toddie, and gave him a few tokens of forgiveness I dare not think they were of gratitude. Suddenly two or three ladies came upon the piazza.
"Toddie, I don't know where either of them are I can't find them now DO wait until morning, then Uncle Harry will look for them." "I don't see how the Lord can get along in heaven without my papa, Uncle Harry," said Budge.
"An' each one of the buttonanoes, too," suggested Toddie. "That one wazh pretty good, but maybe some of the others isn't." The proposition was accepted, and soon each banana had its length reduced by a fourth, and the grape-clusters displayed a fine development of wood.
"Oh, 'bout Jonah," said Budge. "'Bout Jonah," echoed Toddie. "Well, Jonah was out in the sun one day and a gourd-vine grew up all of a sudden, and made it nice and shady for him, and then it all faded as quick as it came." A dead silence prevailed for a moment, and then Budge indignantly remarked: "That ain't Jonah a bit I know 'bout Jonah."
