All of a sudden, he shouted, with a joyful shout, 'Daddy's tummin'! and the next instant, vanished, ship and all, in the arms of the man who wore the rough jacket.

Her slight figure drooped pathetically. She sat very still. All the elasticity of youth seemed to have gone out of her. Once or twice a sharp sigh caught her that was almost like a sob. Betty's shrill voice at her side recalled her from her dreams. "Betty tired now, Auntie Toy. Betty tummin' to sit down." She turned and took the child upon her lap with a fondling touch and tender words.
"Oh, there's Trouble," whispered Ted. "Shall we take him with us, Jan?" "Yes, this time. We're not going far. Grandma wants us to go to the store for some baking soda." "All right, we'll drive down," returned Ted. "Come on, Trouble!" he called. "I's tummin'," answered Baby William. "I's dot a tookie." "He means cookie," said Jan, laughing. "I know it," agreed Ted. "I wish he'd bring me one."

At the sound of the name, little Teddy, who had never forgotten his friend, struggled down from his father's arms, and trotted to the door, looked out over the sunny lawn with a wistful face, and then trotted back again, saying, as he always did when disappointed of the longed-for sight, "My Danny's tummin' soon."
"No, sweetest, blue," I repeated in a somewhat professional but wholly affectionate manner. "Ved," said Sara with great decision; so I gave it up. "Sara always thinks blue is red," said Betty; "don't you, darling?" "No, boo," replied Sara; so the matter dropped. "Oo's tummin' to see Yaya's toys," said Sara. "Am I, darling? When?" "Now."

To William's reddening ear Miss Pratt's voice came clearly as the chiming of tiny bells, for she spoke whimsically to her little dog in that tinkling childlike fashion which was part of the spell she cast. "Darlin' Flopit," she said, "wake up! Oo tummin' to tea-potty wiz all de drowed-ups. P'eshus Flopit, wake up!"
Dandelion didn't understand why every one was so sad, and why his father stayed away so long; but he never lost his cheerfulness, never gave up hoping, or stopped saying, with a contented smile, 'Daddy tummin' soon. The sunshiny little face was Hetty's only comfort.
