"Well, under the same circumstances," he said finally, "what do you think Theodore Roosevelt would do?" Johnnie could not decide. He felt that a look at the picture would help. Hunting a match, he disappeared into the blue room, struck a light, and gave the likeness a searching look. "I don't 'xac'ly know," he declared when he came out; "but, Mister Perkins, I b'lieve maybe he'd just lick him!"
However, he could not understand what she replied; and soon gave up trying, feeling that, after all, a boy who intended to be a scout should not leave such a weak, aged soul behind, all alone, but should stay to help her over the crossings. "I'm 'xac'ly like that picture in the Handbook!" he reminded himself. But it was little assistance the old lady needed.
But he had not lived five years at Tom Barber's without learning how to get himself out of a tight corner. This time, all he had to do was tell the absolute truth. "I don't 'xac'ly know," he answered. "Mm!" Mr. Perkins thought that over.
But I can't see it 'xac'ly as I'd like t', 'cause maybe what I see and what he looked like ain't just the same." "In that case," replied the Father, "it's a good thing, I'm thinkin', that I brought along a photograph!" There it was in his hand. "That's right," went on the priest; "look at it close close!" "I I like him," Johnnie said, after a little. "And I'm awful sorry he's dead.
I'd like t' make some 'xac'ly like 'em out o' silk! And, ouch! What's this?" "This" was a thorn, the first he had ever seen. Learning that the roses had many thorns, he begged hard for one, whereupon Cis broke off for him that particular needlelike growth which was the farthest down on any stem.
There stood one of the porters grinning behind a pyramid of white boxes tied with gay ribbons. Moses was too astonished for anything but speechlessly to let the man pass him. The pile was deposited beside the nurse, and Elsie squealed out: "They look 'xac'ly like Christmas!" "Perhaps the inside will look like Christmas, too," smiled Miss Lucy.
