"Stay till she is a little known, and the mothers of marriageable sons get about her; then it will be the old thing over again dress, drive, dance, hurry-scurry from morning till night. However, I'll make the most of the present." Miss Payne, then, and her "favored guest" were cozily settled for the evening when Bertie entered.

One day the great wind came out of the north. Hurry-scurry! back to their warm homes in the earth and under the old stone wall scampered the crickets and bumblebees to go to sleep. Whirr, whirr!
