But I don't think I will go. They'll forget all about me in a few minutes." "Mrs Seaton wishes you to go, however," said Mr Sherwood, gravely. Miss Gertrude shrugged her shoulders. They had more than once differed as to the nature and extent of duty she owed to her step-mother. She said nothing, however, but rose. "I'm going too," said Clement. "Tudie, you must take me."
You know it is said, `Suffer the little children to come unto Me." The little boy looked from one to the other as they spoke. "It was Jesus who said that Jesus, who opened the eyes of the blind man. And He loved us and died for us. I love Him dearly, Tudie." The girls looked at each other for a moment.
In this constrained attitude he hopped about the clear space in front of the audience with a good deal of dexterity, talking baby-talk in a shrill falsetto. "Howdy, pappa! Howdy, mamma! Itty Tudie tum adin!" A rough man and woman, between joy and grief, were half hysterical.
Now that they were so near, Margaret said they must go and see Miss Lois. Dr. Joe was quite a regular visitor, for Miss Lois was growing more frail every week. Josie and Tudie thought they would like to see another old house, and a harp "taller than yourself." Charles was much interested.
And Battle, the dog, called so because he had been such a fighter, but commonly known as Bat, wagged his whole body with delight at sight of the boys. A week or so after Mrs. Underhill's return, one of the neighbors called one afternoon and brought her two little girls, Josie and Tudie Dean. Tudie stood for Susan.

"I'm not sure but it was done purposely after all."
you could feel assured another generation of patriots was being raised for some future emergency. Oh, what throats and lungs they had! Mrs. Underhill had been around to see Mrs. Craven, and liked her very well indeed. So the little girl was to go to school with Josie and Tudie Dean. Some new people had come in the street two doors below.
"And they have a real play-house up-stairs in one room. There's two beds in it and two bureaus, and oh, lots of things! Josie has seven dolls and Tudie four. Tudie gave two of hers away, and Josie has a lovely big wax doll that her aunt sent from Paris. And a table, and their mother lets them play tea with bread and cake and real things. And I'm to go on Saturday."
Union Square is really a thoroughfare; but she came up here with father and the boys when it was a grand new thing. Did she really live in First Street with Aunt Daisy for a playmate, and Auntie Reed, and Nora, who was a much admired singer in her day, and who married a Roman Count; and the little Tudie who died?
"You won't be cross any more, Tudie?" he said. "I don't know, dear. I don't mean to be cross, but I dare say I shall be, for all that." "And will you sing to Christie and me?" "Oh, yes; that I will to your heart's content."
