Well, if you're not tall enough by Wednesday morning, you can't have the present I bought for you last night. Too short, no present you think it over." He stooped to kiss his mother, tweaked Sister's perky bow of hair-ribbon, and with a hasty "Good-bye" for the others at the table, hurried out into the hall. They heard the front door slam after him.
When she appeared for the third time, she wore the star-dress which sparkled at every step she took, and her hair-ribbon and girdle were starred with jewels. The prince had already been waiting for her for a long time, and forced his way up to her. "Do but tell who thou art," said he, "I feel just as if I had already known thee a long time." "Dost thou not know what I did when thou leftest me?"
Maida scowled a little, and Adelaide did not, and people distinguished them by that when in doubt. They stood and stared at their mother with a curious expression on their sharp, delicate little faces. It was not exactly admiration, it was not wonder, nor envy, nor affection, yet tinctured by all. Mrs. Edes looked at them. "Maida," said she, "do not wear that blue hair-ribbon again. It is soiled.
Holding tight to the vines she slid down, hitting her bruised knees against the rough surface. The vines cut her hands, and when she tumbled into the sand her dress was torn and soiled, her pretty hair-ribbon was gone, and her once white stockings were grimy. Beside these misfortunes her hands were bleeding. Never in all her life had Sylvia been so wretched.
The Craigs will like Cousin Jack, won't they?" "Yes, indeed, and Hester, too. Good-night, King." "Good-night, Mopsy Midget.

Marjorie gave his hair an affectionate tweak, and with these good-natured attentions they parted. The sun rose early on Fourth of July morning.
It's too wide for a band, and that's all I can wear here's an apple, a penwiper and some candy. You've got pretty nearly the same c'lection, haven't you, Cherry, and so have Hope and Allee. I wonder how Mrs. Grinnell happened to give me a hair-ribbon when she knows that my hair ain't long enough to tie back." "How do you know Mrs.

Winnie was easily suited, and her father would be as contented with a shaving-case as with a velvet dressing-gown; indeed he'd hardly know the difference. Joy should have a pretty white velvet hair-ribbon. But what for mother?
You're so serious that I almost suspect you of having started to be an author yourself." "Really not. As a matter of fact, I'm the kiddy in patched overalls you used to play with when you kept house in the willows." "Oh, of course! In the Forest of Arden! And you had a toad that you traded for my hair-ribbon." "And we ate bread and milk out of blue bowls!"
It was dark outside by this time, and the steadily falling snow had spread a thick carpet on the ground. "Did you bring us something?" asked Dot expectantly, her hair-ribbon over one eye and both pockets torn from her apron. "Did you bring us something?" inquired Twaddles, shaking Mother Blossom's packages to try to find out what was in them.
