There was a great strife between Sarah Weathervane and Jack to see which should go to the foot the oftenest during the term, and so win a little prize that Mr. Williams had offered to the best speller in the school. As neither of them ever missed a word in the lesson, they held the head each alternate Friday evening. In this way the contest bade fair to be a tie.
He stooped, and, placing his great palm under the donkey's belly, he raised the animal in one hand, and poised him at the ceiling, swaying him here and there as if he had been a weathervane in a high and varying wind.
The doctor went back into the house, and Jack Dudley and his dinner-bell started off down the street in search of Harry Weathervane and his tin pan, and Bob Holliday and his skillet-lids, and Ben Berry and the bass-drum. "Hello, Jack!" called out Bob from an alley. "You stood your ground the best of all, didn't you?"
"That's a very nice string," said Susan. "It's just like Pewee's top-string," cried Harry Weathervane. "Is it yours, Pewee?" said Susan, in her sweetest tones. "No," said the king, with his head down; "mine's at home." "I found this one, last night," said Susan. And all the school knew that she was tormenting Pewee, although they could not guess how she had got his top-string.
The south breeze always has a violet odor; the north breeze has the fragrance of wild roses; the east breeze is perfumed with lilies-of-the-valley and the west wind with lilac blossoms. So we need no weathervane to tell us which way the wind is blowing. We have only to smell the perfume and it informs us at once."
