Seeing it headed that way he had instinctively chosen the other, not reckoning that even bears can change routes. Then the yell that rose belittled all which had gone before. Grizzly uprose on his hind feet and rushed to meet poor Wunny, squeezing him in a terrible embrace that checked the Chinaman's yell instantly.
Come on, Alfy, or anybody," cried Dorothy, laughing. "That empty cracker box to hold them in. By the way, Wunny, when did you empty the nest?" He assured her that he had done so the last thing before retiring on the night before. He had already taken two from it this day.
Sence he's waked up an' took an interest he's done fine. He's the best o' the lot and his knowin' that is what inspires him to do better yet. That, an' hopin' to please the Boss. But I hope the storm'll blow over the one they're brewin'. And I wonder what in creation ever did become o' that first boy, or of Wunny."
So, at a nod of consent, the girls sped along the cloister, seeking the great kitchen and the salaaming grinning Chinaman within it. "Oh! how good you look, Wunny! Same old purple sack! same old shoes; same old twisted cue around your same old shiny black head! Same old nasty messes cooking! and same old Alfaretta to get after you with a sharp stick!" cried Leslie bursting in with all the others.
Well, we ought to go to sleep, but seems if I'd never catch another wink. I wonder what became of Wunny! Last I saw him he was lyin' flat on the ground thinkin' he was et up, I guess. Dolly My heart! Dolly Doodles is asleep a'ready. Did you ever see such a sleepy head, Nell?" There was no answer from the room across the hall, so Alfy curled down among her pillows and composed herself to sleep.
"But a hen of that character ought to crow as well as cackle. How much'll you take for her, cooky? I'll buy and start a hennery to stump the world. Anybody want to go in with me on this deal? San Leon Chinese Poultry Warranted to Make Possessors Rich! The Egg Trust of San Leon! I say, boys, the thing's just rippin'!" "Undo that little gate, Wunny. I'm going in to collect the eggs.
The cackling continued a longer time than is usual and ended in another masculine crow. Then there solemnly stalked into the little yard a very handsome fowl, of the Plymouth Rock species, who strutted about as if she were the queen of all hens. "Huh! Nothing the matter with that biddy, Wun Sing! I wish 't Ma Babcock had her in our hennery, up-mounting. What's wrong with her, you think, Wunny?"
Would that he had never heard of the place, even for the extra big wages the rich owner had offered. He When he had reached this point, Alfy shook him demanding: "What makes you such a fool, Wunny? That little old image on the floor is enough to make you sick, course, it's so filthy dirty. I hope you'll scrub your hands good with soap before you touch any food for other folks to eat.
"Well, Little One, you've got ways to win a feller, 'spite of himself. If they was all as good as you " "Oh! they are, and even lots better! 'Twas just lads' foolishness that they mistook for smartness. And they, we, all of us will do all we can to help. Where can we look for Wunny? He's the first one to be thought of. And I'm sorry he was so scared. Also, he'll be sorry himself over the poor hen.
I suppose she had a certain number of eggs to lay during her earthly career and she concluded to get the job over with. She's an all right Chinee hen, but she's the one that'll die, not you nor Wunny Sing. Doctor Jones said so. We've interviewed him on the subject. Doctors know a lot. So, be decent! Get up and practise a bit."
