On that occasion the weather, perhaps, had been cool; but now a blazing sun was overhead, and when she had been seated half a minute, and "Queen Mab" had been withdrawn from her pocket, she found that it would not do. It would not do, even with the canopy she could make for herself with her parasol.
The children's father had hired this lot to use as part of his garden. Hal and Mab watched the man plowing. He held the two curved handles of the plow, and it was the sharp steel "share" of this that they had seen shining in the sun as it cut through the brown soil.
"It's a little beet!" cried Mab, clapping her hands in delight. "No, they're radishes!" exclaimed Hal. "Aren't they, Daddy?" "Yes, those are red early radishes. Here are some white ones over here for you to pull, Mab. They are called icicles." Mab gave a cry of delight as she pulled up some long, white radishes. They did look a little like icicles. "Radishes grow very quickly," said Daddy Blake.
He put the cork in tightly, and then twisted some wires over the top. "What are the wires for?" asked Hal. "So the ice, that I think will freeze inside the bottle, will not push out the cork," explained Daddy Blake. "Now off to bed with you!" You may be sure Hal and Mab did not want to go to bed, even if they were sleepy. They wanted to stay up and watch the water in the bottle freeze.
Hal and Mab hurried on to school, laughing over what had happened to their pet poodle. When their lessons were done they went back to their garden, anxious to see if Roly had been good, and had not dug up any corn or beans. "Everything is all right," said Mab, as she looked at her bush beans, which were now in blossom. Soon the blossoms would drop off and in their places would come tiny bean pods.
I asked Mab to be my wife when I last visited Beorminster, and I intended to tell you of it this time, but I find that Miss Whichello has saved me the trouble. However, now that you know the truth, sir, said Captain Pendle, with his sunny smile, 'may I ask for your approval and blessing? 'You may ask, said the bishop, coldly, 'but you shall have neither.
Now if you'll sit down I'll tell you about it." Hal and Mab saw some brightly colored pictures, among other things, in the big bag that had held the beans, and they thought perhaps they might have fun with the garden game after all. Some of you have met Hal and Mab Blake before, on one or more of their many trips with Daddy, so I do not need to tell all of you about the children.
'Well, you need not swear at him. 'If I didn't swear I'd kick him, Mab; and think of the scandal to the Church. Cargrim's a sneaking, time-serving sycophant. I wonder my father can endure him; I can't! 'I don't like him myself, confessed Mab, as they seated themselves in the window-seat. 'I should think not! cried Captain George, in so deliberate and disgusted a tone that Mab laughed.
"I should think that would be fun," said Mother Blake. "Why don't you play doll and doctor?" "I'm not going to play doll!" declared Hal, and his face looked crosser than ever. "Oh, it isn't nice to talk that way," said his mother. "You ought to be glad if Mab wanted you to be a doctor for her sick doll. But perhaps you can think of something else some new game.
Naturally Queen Mab felt disgraced, and first she tried the effect of ordering the court into tears for nine minutes, and then she blamed the Cupids and decreed that they should wear fools' caps until they thawed the Duke's frozen heart. "How I should love to see the Cupids in their dear little fools' caps!"
