Vi's gray eyes snapped she was so vexed. "Aunt Jo said that a window got broke in in the neu-ral-gi-a and William had to drive a long way yesterday and the wind blew on him and he got the croup." "Was that the way of it?" said Laddie, thoughtfully. "Wait a minute, Vi. I've most got it " "You're not going to have the croup!" declared his twin. "You never had it!
"Isn't she upstairs with Violet?" "No!" "That's funny...." "Why, when'd she leave you?" "Oh, ten minutes ago, or so." "She must have stopped in her room for somethin'." "Perhaps." "But why didn't you come on up?" "Well, you see, I met a man outside I wanted to talk to for a moment. So I left her at the door." "Well, Vi's waitin'. Run on up. I won't be five minutes.
"But be careful not to put your hands down the spout where I drop the ears of corn." "Why not?" asked Rose, who was catching Vi's trick of asking questions. "Because if you do that it might shuck the fingernails off your hand," answered Tom. "Keep away from the corn-sheller."

Violet, or Vi, aged six, was a curly-haired girl, with gray eyes, and, as I have told you, she could ask more questions than her father and mother could answer.

I do believe it's burglars trying to steal the money and silver and Mamma Vi's jewelry that are in the safe," she said to herself with a thrill of mingled fear and excitement.
"Oh, a great big place!" cried Lulu, returning Vi's caresses with ardor. "Mamma Vi! it's a very pretty name, and you are my own sweet, pretty new mamma! A great deal nicer than if you were old enough to be my real mother." "Ah, Lulu, it makes me very happy to hear all that!" said her father's voice behind her, and she felt his hand laid affectionately upon her head. She turned round quickly.
"She did so!" exclaimed the little girl, stamping her foot on the sand. "My dolls have got feelings, same as you have, Russ Bunker, so there!" "Now children, don't get excited," said Mrs. Bunker gently. "Russ, you shouldn't have taken Vi's doll." "Well, I wanted to see how much my boat would hold, and I was playing the doll was a passenger. I'll get it back for her.
