That will take off some of the fly paper." "Oh, let me squirt it!" cried Hal. "Roly loves to be squirted on! Let me do it!" "I'm going to help," added Mab. "An' me, too!" called Sammie. "They'll drown the poor dog," spoke Mr. Blake, laughing. "I guess I'd better take a hand in this myself." "What's the matter?" asked Aunt Lolly from the back steps. "Is the house on fire?"
And the next day they rode on the elephant's back, and also on a camel's and they went in the big parade. Oh! it was just wonderful the adventures they had! Hal and Mab lived with their papa and mamma, and Aunt Lolly, in a fine house in the city. But they often went to the country and to other places where they had good times. In the family was also Uncle Pennywait.
So, though we may lose some corn and peas, nothing much else is harmed." "Whose cows were they?" asked Aunt Lolly. "Mr. Porter says they belong to a milkman who lives on the other side of the town. They must have gotten out of their pasture during the night and then then came here to our garden. They broke down part of the fence to get in."
The minister told Lolly that this caterpillar in the chrysalis was like us worms of the dust when lying in the narrow grave enshrouded in our death-robes; and that, like as the caterpillar bursts his darksome bonds and soars away upon butterfly pinions, so shall we come forth from the tomb on the resurrection day, and with angel-wings mount upward to the world of light and peace.
Aunt Lollypop was more often called Aunt Lolly, and the reason she had such a queer name was because she was always telling the children to buy lollypops with the money Uncle Pennywait gave them. Lollypops, the children's aunt thought, were the best kind of candy for them, and perhaps she was right.
And when Alice told her that it was herself, she laughed with delight, and said "she would come every day to dress herself by Alice's mirror if she could look so nice." And then Alice and Maddie and Lolly went to the bower for the story. Alice sat down on the grassy bank, and Lolly laid her head upon her friend's lap, while Maddie crowded close to her to listen.
It never seemed to her quite polite to be cheerful when she was talking to Mrs. Martha. "Yes, child; but she can't do everything" with a sigh "she's put upon dreadful as it is." Then in a minute, "What made you think of coming here after him?" "I think it's so wonderful." The child's eyes enlarged as she peered through the fence again at the scarlet bird. "Lolly, child!
But when Miss Mason stood by the step and stooped down to kiss her sun- burned cheek, and said sweetly, "So this is your little friend Lolly, is it, Alice?" she did not wonder any longer; for her heart leaped to meet the gentle lady, and she could not take her eyes from such a kind and loving face. "Where's Maddie?" asked Miss Mason, with a smile.
I do not know whether he made it, or whether he got it from some book; but I want to tell it to you, for I like it as well as Lolly did. It is this: "There was a bright, beautiful butterfly that was about to die. She had laid her eggs on a cabbage-leaf in the garden; and, as she thought of her children, she said to a caterpillar that was crawling upon the leaf, 'I am going to die.
Hal and Mab did not have to go to school, and they could spend more time in the garden with their mother, with Uncle Pennywait or Aunt Lolly, while Daddy Blake, every chance he had, used the hoe often to keep down the weeds. "There is nothing like hoeing to make your garden, a success," he told the children. "Do they hoe on big farms?" asked Hal. "Well, on some, yes.
