Norah and Jerry had been told, by telegraph, to come back to help get the house in order. "I'm terrible glad you came, Grandpa Ford," said Mun Bun, as he sat opposite the old gentleman at the table. "So'm I," said Margy. "Are you going to live with us always?" "Oh, no, little Toddlekins," laughed Grandpa Ford. "I wish I were. But I shall soon have to go back to Great Hedge.
Come, Sleepyhead! Papa'll tell about the little red hen" aside to Joyce "It's my stock yarn. Couldn't tell another to save my head, and studied that out, word for word, on purpose. But luckily she wants it every time. I should be bankrupt if she didn't. Come now, say good-night to all like a lady, Toddlekins." "Oh, don't bother her, Larry.
"She took the boots straight to Miss Todd, and Toddlekins blew her whistle and counted us over like sheep to find who was missing. Then she asked who'd seen you last, and if anyone had given you leave to wade. She dragged it all out of Geraldine. I don't think Gerry would have told on her own." "Spot!" said Diana, turning reproachful eyes on that panting specimen of the canine race.
As it happens, I asked Toddlekins half an hour ago, and she said there were no new girls. There!" "Well, there's one now, at any rate." Wendy looked at her pityingly, and shook her head. "Lennie, you're a decent kid, but you're not clever. If you'd really wanted to have us on successfully, why didn't you try something more out of the common? You've a great lack of imagination.
"When I'm hungry I'm inclined to put up a holler myself. Hey, hey, toddlekins, you're getting a dimple!" He touched the baby's cheeks, and the tiny hands found and grasped his finger. A moment later that finger was in the baby's mouth. "Hold on, you cannibal!" protested Frank, in great delight. "You're trying to eat your own father! Haven't you any heart or conscience!
"I'm sure Toddlekins believes I've had measles," she confided to Wendy. "Of course she does. She said she hadn't the least doubt about it, and that you hadn't eaten anything which could have caused you to have nettle-rash." "What would she say if she knew about the sausages?" queried Diana. Spooks
The village was unfortunately out of bounds, so that, except on stated occasions, when they were escorted by a mistress, the girls were unable to do shopping "on their own". There are ways, however, of crawling through even the most barbed-wire fence of rules. "Toddlekins never told us we weren't to ask anybody else to do shopping for us," said Wendy demurely.
I have helped to put him in the trap heaps of times. Bunty? Best not tell her anything about it; she's always such a scared rabbit, and she'd only have fits!" Wendy's eyes shone like stars. "It would be a stunt! Fancy driving in state to the station and fetching Toddlekins! She'd be pleased to save a taxi." "Bless her, she shall!
"I found the pearl in an oyster stew, grandma. It is such a very funny place Out West" "Yes, it is really a pearl," said Percy, "only spoiled by boiling. Look her, Toddlekins; oysters don't grow Out West; they grow here on the coast. You'd better study astronomy." Dotty took refuge in silence again, like an oyster withdrawing into his shell.
It was good fun skating with Ted, and, as Dolly told him, he reminded her a little of her friend, Tad Brown. "Any kin of Muriel's?" "No, a boy in Berwick. He has a twin brother, Tod." "Great names!
