Then she raised the pathetic, desolate little figure softly in her arms, and the little head dropped upon her shoulder and nestled close to her neck, and one little arm was clasped tightly around her throat, and a soft voice murmured: "I wantsh to go a'widin'." And just then Mr.
Budge crept reluctantly out of bed and caught up one of his stockings, while Toddie again began to cry. "Toddie," I shouted, "stop that dreadful racket, and dress yourself. What are you crying for?" "Well, I feelsh bad." "Well, dress yourself, and you'll feel better." "Wantsh YOU to djesh me." "Bring me your clothes, then quick!" Again the tears flowed copiously.
"I wantsh to go so baddy," said Toddy, beginning to cry. "I suppose you do, and auntie is very sorry for you," said Mr. Burton, kindly; "but that does not alter the case. When grown people say 'No! little boys must understand that they mean it." "But what I wantsh izh to go a-widin' wif you," said Toddie. "And what I want is, that you shall stay at home; so you must," said Mrs. Burton.
"Yesh an' swingin' an' birch an' wantsh to go to Hawksnesh Rock," answered Toddie. "Let's have Bible stories first," said I. "The Lord mightn't like it if you didn't learn anything good to-day." "Well," said Budge, with the regulation religious-matter-of-duty-face, "let's. I guess I like 'bout Joseph best." "Tell us 'bout Bliaff," suggested Toddie.
If you were to ask a hundred times it would not make the slightest bit of difference. You cannot go, and you must stop thinking about it." Toddie listened intelligently from beginning to end, and replied: "But I wantsh to go." "And you can't. That ends the matter." "No, it don't," said Toddie, "not a single bittle. I wantsh to go badder than ever." "But you are not going."
Toddie came to my arms, shed tears freely upon my shirt-front, and finally, after heaving a very long sigh, remarked: "Wantsh YOU to love ME" I complied with his request. Theoretically, I had long believed that the higher wisdom of the Creator was most frequently expressed through the medium of his most innocent creations.
"Wantsh to shee Phillie aden awfoo," said Toddie, as I kissed Budge and hurried off to the library, unfit just then to administer farther instruction or reproof. Of one thing I was very certain I wished the rain would cease falling, so the children could go out of doors, and I could get a little rest, and freedom from responsibility.
"Wantsh to go a-widin'!" exclaimed Toddie. "I know you do, dear, but you must wait until some other day," said the lady. "But I wantsh to go," Toddie explained. "And I don't want you to, so you can't," said Mrs. Burton, in a tone which would reduce any reasonable person to hopelessness. But Toddie, in spite of manifest astonishment, remarked: "Wantsh to go a-widin'."
