I s'pose somebody's got my route, already. If a chap gets out the line there's another hops into his place spang! I wonder " But just there Lionel Towsley's reflections became so sombre that some very unusual tears crept into his eyes. This fact restored him to a sense of his own foolishness. "Shucks! if I ain't crying! I Towsley! Well, that beats all.
Towsley's eyes opened with a snap. He was sure that they had not been closed a second, but the nurse laughed when he so declared; he always afterward believed that some sort of magic had been used to change things about in that little hospital bedroom. For there on the tiny dresser was lightly tossed a rich fur robe that looked as if it had just slipped off somebody's slender shoulders.
"Molly spent the greater part of yesterday with me, Lionel." "She did? What for?" "Because I was in trouble, of more sorts than one; and her kind heart sent her in the first place. After she came I begged her to stay. I am already very fond of Molly; she is so gay and cheerful." Towsley's face became radiant. "Oh, jimmeny! Ain't that prime! Have you adopted her, too?" "No, indeed.
They aren't half as comfortable as my own old holeys! But it all goes! And she really is a dear little old lady. I'd like to oblige her if I could, but adopted! No, siree!" A country child of Towsley's age would have been puzzled how to escape from the well-locked and bolted mansion; but the keen-witted gamin of the city's streets had little difficulty.
Did she really get hurt?" "Hurt? I don't know what you're talking about. I only know that my mistress wants to see you, for some reason or another, and that it's mighty cold standing here. Come in. Yes. I suppose she wants you both. She said 'children." Molly whisked off Towsley's skate, then her own, and hastily dragged him after her up into the house. "That's so.
You tacitly admitted that you ran away, and your velvet attire is certainly against you!" There was something both whimsical and kindly in the doctor's expression, and Towsley's confidence was won. "Don't you s'pose I know that? Don't you s'pose I reckoned I was a guy; and that all the fellows would laugh at me when they saw me?
Everybody shall clear out except you and me," said the physician, pulling a brown paper parcel from beneath his arm and tossing it upon the foot of the cot. So Miss Armacost and nurse Brady went away and the doctor closed the door behind them. Then he unfastened the mysterious parcel and spread before Towsley's wondering gaze a complete suit for a boy of Towsley's size.
