Barnes brought in his packages, gave Tot and the rest some "sure-enough waisins," and added his Christmas presents to Willie's; but though all were overjoyed, nothing was quite so nice in their eyes as the two live birds.
"'Specially the chickens for the pie!" put in Nora. "An' the waisins," piped up little Tot, standing on tiptoe to give papa a good-bye kiss. "I hate to have you go, George," said Mrs. Barnes anxiously. "It looks to me like a storm." "Oh, I guess it won't be much," said Mr. Barnes lightly; "and the youngsters must have their Christmas dinner, you know." "Well," said Mrs.
Nora had openly lamented that to-night was Christmas Eve, and no Christmas dinner to be had. Tot had grown very tearful about her "waisins," and Mrs. Barnes, though she tried to keep up heart, had become very pale and silent.
"And get up the Christmas dinner out of nothing?" asked papa, smiling. "I don't know," said Willie, hesitating, as he remembered the proposed dinner, in which he felt a deep interest. "What could you do for the chicken pie?" went on papa with a roguish look in his eye, "or the plum-pudding?" "Or the waisins?" broke in Tot anxiously.
