His father strips off his grip, at first with boisterous laughter, and then with hot anger at the little fool. He calls him a cry-baby, and slaps his mouth for him, to stop his noise. The little body sprawls in the air and strikes with a loud splash, and the child's gargling cry is strangled by the water whitened by his mad clawings.
"No, I don't," was the emphatic reply; "nor you wouldn't needa, ef you had it to do contin'ul." "Why, you can play he's a doll." "He's showin' off now, but when he gits to bawlin', you ain't a gwine to make no mistake 'bout his bein' nuffin' 'tal but a cry-baby," she continued, preparing to move on. "Would you sell him?" asked Beth eagerly.
There's no use talking about it you have done it now, Polly! but Flower's passions are awful." David's eyes filled slowly with tears. "Oh, you are a cry-baby," said Polly. She knew she was making herself disagreeable all round. In her heart she admired and even loved David; but nothing would induce her to say she was sorry for any part she had taken in Flower's disappearance.
"Now that you are crying," exclaimed Samuel, thoroughly angry, "you are not only hard-headed, but also silly, simply silly! 'Long of hair but short of sense. To cry and cry, and not know wherefore!" With this Samuel turned towards us, and began to plead his case. "Have you ever seen such a cry-baby?
"What's the matter now, cry-baby?" asked the Dodo. "Why can't you let me alone?" whined the sloth-bear. "I've never done nothing to you, have I? Why can't you let a poor beast sleep in peace?" "Oh, for goodness' sake let the lazy old thing go to sleep if it wants to," said Dick, impatiently, while tender-hearted Marjorie went up to the creature and stroked and comforted it as best she could.
"Though I don't believe salt will help start the grease-spots on this floor," Janice thought, rubbing her eyes with the wrist of one hand. "There! I am a regular cry-baby. I said I would do something to relieve daddy of bothering about the housework. And if scrubbing a floor is the best I can do " Suddenly a shadow appeared at the door. Janice looked up and squealed.
So they all made fun of him, and called him cry-baby, and that made him mad, and he said he would go straight and tell all the secrets. But Tom give him five cents to keep quiet, and said we would all go home and meet next week, and rob somebody and kill some people.
His face wore a look of despair. "O, cry-baby; of course you must howl! You can stay at home and play with the cats." And the big brother, whom Bobby had served so willingly all day, shouldered his lacrosse stick and went off whistling. Harold met his Aunt Kate in the hall. "Where's your little footman?" she asked gaily. "Isn't he going?" "Who? Bob?
Their father's got a piece of land on Zion's Head that he's clearin' off for the timber. Their mother's dead, and Cynthy keeps house. She's always makin' up names and faces," added the boy. "She thinks herself awful smart. That Franky's a perfect cry-baby." "Well, upon my word! You are a little ruffian," said Westover, and he knocked the ashes out of his pipe.
Uncle James had often said to Aunt Vi: "Our Katharine is very much in earnest. I know you agree with me that "little Prudy's" eldest daughter is a golden girl!" The "play-school" closed a few days later, and it was Henry Small who received the medal for good spelling.
