Put granddaddy Krafft in charge instead." "But Hys is in charge of an army now?" "All volunteers, too few of them and too little money. Too little and too damned late to do any good. I'll tell you we did our best, but it could never be good enough. And for this we get called butchers." There was a catch in Telt's voice now, an undercurrent of emotion he couldn't suppress.
"A badly shielded bomb, or an old one with a crack in the skin, could give a trace like that. Just a little radon leaking out would do it." "Why don't you call Hys on the radio and let him know?" "I don't want Granddaddy Krafft's listening posts to hear about it. This is our job if I'm right. And I have to check my old tapes to make sure.
"Well," said Betty, "he has done me the honour to be my granddaddy; but don't you take any letter of introduction to him." "Why not?" asked he, perplexed. "Because he'll eat YOU," said the girl. "He hates Ollie." "Dear me," said the other; and the girl asked, "Do you mean that the boy hasn't said a word about me?" "No," said Montague "I suppose he left it for you to do."
"I want to donate something to granddaddy, and I tell you I'm something awful at a letter." "All right, seeing you wish it so," said Jasper, with a keen look at him, "and these are beauties and no mistake; we couldn't begin to equal them."

There were the four black-and-yellow butterflies flying directly toward the tree as fast as their wings could carry them, and on the two foremost ones were old Granddaddy Thistletop himself and the beautiful Rosine. They drew rein at the knot-hole, and the old fairy, skipping from his butterfly and never pausing to fasten it, tottered straight to Teddy and threw his arms about his neck.

Haint thet a wonderful thing fer ter do? I shorely wants ter be a trained nurse like thet when I grows up."
And the little old earl was kissing her rosy cheek in the most courtly fashion, and saying while he shook her hand in his long fingers, "And how do you do, my dear?" And Mrs. Selwyn was by his other side. And Tom was screeching out, "How do you do, Granddaddy!" And then, "Oh, Elinor and Mary!" to two quiet, plain-looking girls standing in the background.
One of the servants had seen me go down when granddaddy called to me, and again he had seen me go down quietly to the library after the paper. I did go quietly, it is true, so as not to disturb the old gentleman. "They all rushed upstairs to search my room. Lying on my table was the long envelope. Judge Gainsborough opened it, so he says.
"You know and I know what a fine, sweet, womanly woman Lulu has become, but I do wish she hadn't gone and set her heart on my wearing that lace cap. My lands! makes me feel so old I just don't know myself." "And me with a granddaddy outfit! Why, I never will dast to go out on the streets again," complained Father.
A fat Italian granddaddy washes a kiddie's hand from the fountain and a man with a demijohn and a sense of humor goes smilingly down the path and what he has in the demijohn is none of our business. "To make on the whole, a family happier for his presence."
