Now how would it be if you gave a nice party on Christmas night, and asked her at once? Ask her to help you in getting it up; make it clear she's going to run it." "All right. You'll come, won't you?" "Certainly I will not. Perhaps I will come in after dinner with Goosie or some one of that sort. Don't you see it would spoil it all if I were at dinner? You must rather pointedly leave me out.
"Did you know that whenever that cock crows every rooster in town crows too?" I listened out at the window, and asked, "But when will he begin to crow?" "Oh, roosters crow in the night, sometimes, when you are asleep." Then my younger brother would break in with a shout of delight at my stupidity: "I'll tell you when, goosie! 'The next day after never; When the dead ducks fly over the river."
"Now, goosie, don't you begin that," said the Angel, "because I know that it was!" "Know!" cried Freckles, his head springing from the pillow. "Know! How can you know?" The Angel gently soothed him back. "Why, because nobody else would ever sit and do it the way it is done. That's how I know," she said emphatically.
I knew then what those heavy, homely lines below your eyes were for strength. And I saw your eyes, to me so dull at first, wake and fill with such a light and burn so steadily hour after hour that I knew I had never seen eyes like yours. I knew you would save me that is what made me so brave, goosie. Sit right where you are, please." She slipped out of her chair; he pursued.
"Why couldn't she have held her tongue altogether, then?" grumbled a discontented voice. "Good gracious, Nell! knowing what she did she couldn't keep mum and let 'Wild Jen' poor goosie! whose curiosity is always getting her into some scrape or other bear the whole brunt of it," Miss Archer replied, with curling lips.
At the moment as she paused, a window in the music-room was opened, and Piggy's odious head looked out. "Oh, Mrs Lucas," she said. "Goosie and I have got beautiful seats, and Mamma is quite close to the piano where she will hear excellently. Has she promised to sing Siegfried? Is Mr Georgie going to play for her?
"It's nothing, goosie!" said she, "except Jim. He's been a naughty boy, and is tied up in the front room. Ma thought she'd try that plan so he could not slip out to go skating. I suppose I ought to have told you, though. Maybe you thought we had a crazy person up here." Annie forced herself to laugh. Reassured in a measure, and still more curious, she ventured to go on.
She would think it very strange if I did not. Colonel Boucher, too! Oh, they are coming this way to save us the trouble of moving." A general move was certainly taking place, not in the direction of the door, but to where Olga and Lucia were sitting. "It's snowing," said Piggy excitedly to Olga. "Will you mark my footsteps well, my page?" "Piggy, you you Goosie," said Olga hurriedly.
If you open a trunk or lift a tray before I arrive I shall instantly send you home to your mother as incorrigible." "Very well," she agreed; "I'll be good." "And then, if Gladys is there it's only an off-chance that they come before to-morrow get her to sit with you. But don't go wandering about the hotel by yourself. And, above all, don't go out." "Goosie," said she, "of course I shan't go out.
I remember vibgyor, but now I don't know the seven primary colors. You are always getting taken in, Goosie! I hope you didn't ask Mr. Woodfern if he is the man in Pilgrim's Progress." "I know he isn't," said Marjorie, seriously, "there are a good many of them, he said so. I guess Pilgrim's Progress happened a long time ago. I shan't look for Great-heart, any more," she added, with a sigh.
