If you had given chase in a boat, the wee-est loon would have sailed off faster yet on the back of his father; and when you grew tired and stopped, you would have heard, as if mocking you, the old bird give, in a laughing voice, the Tremble Song: "O, ha-ha-ha, ho! O, ha-ha-ha, ho! O, ha-ha-ha, ho! O, ha-ha-ha, ho!
She paused a mere breathing-space; her free hand caressed his hair. You see ... she knows ... we've talked about it. We're like sisters, almost. As for Father ... well, we're less intimate. I did fancy he seemed the wee-est bit relieved when ... your news came...." The pain in his eyes checked her. "My blessed one, I won't have you daring to worry about it.
"Thank you," she whispered. "Thank you so much." Her eyes were full of tears as her lips met Daisy's, but she brushed them swiftly away before they fell. Daisy was smiling at her. "Come," she said, "I want to show you my baby. He is just the wee-est bit fractious, as he is cutting a tooth.

Is there just the wee-est little chance, Uncle St. Bernard? Would it be any good praying for it?" He took her little hand into his warm kind grasp, for she was quivering all over with excitement.

"Amelia is so massive and square; if the girl's so small she'd look like 'the Marchioness." "She does, she does!" Jan cried delightedly.
