15280And may I ask where you are going?"
15280And whom do you suppose it was?
15280And with that, what do you think he did?
15280Are the eggs gone?"
15280As soon as she saw the children she called:"Oh, my dears, can you show me the way to Mrs. Wibblewobble''s?
15280Billie, why ca n''t you and I teach Jimmie to climb a tree?
15280But I think it was great for him to put out the fire, do n''t you?
15280But do n''t you like pussy willows, Aunt Lettie?"
15280But do you s''pose Jimmie was proud?
15280But what do you suppose Jackie, that puppy dog, did?

15280But who is this little green boy?
15280But why are n''t you larger, Lulu?
15280But will you please take me home?"
15280But you never can tell what is going to happen in this world; now can you?
15280But, now, do you believe I am a fairy prince?"
15280But, of course, we would n''t want to take it away from the duck children, would we?
15280But, who are you, if I may be so bold as to ask?"
15280Can you guess?
15280Did you ever try?"
15280Did you like it?"
15280Did you see a burglar or a wolf?"
15280Did you; eh?"
15280Did you?
15280Do I look like a fox?"
15280Do n''t you know that fairies are especially made not to worry?
15280Do n''t you want to come, too, Alice?"
15280Do you promise never to tell?"
15280Do you think I''m afraid?"
15280Do you think you could swim then?"
15280Do you think you would like that?
15280Does any one need help?"
15280Does n''t he speak very loudly?"
15280Doodle?"
15280Doodle?"
15280Dost thou need three drops of magical water?"
15280For, you know, a tall hat could n''t walk along by a hedge, all alone its own self, now, could it?
15280Have you seen Uncle Wiggily Longears?
15280Have you seen him?"
15280He could n''t swim any more than my typewriter can, and, all at once, what do you suppose happened?
15280He hopped into the water to cool himself off and then, when he had hopped out again, he asked:"I say, Jimmie, are your folks expecting company?"
15280He quacked, and he squawked, and he called out:"Who broke my window?"
15280Help me, will you; will you?"
15280How about a story of the rat who took the eggs?
15280How can we stop them?"
15280How do you do that?"
15280I just wish I had that basket of lunch now, do n''t you?
15280Is it a really, truly one?"
15280Is n''t it as good as your fairy prince?"
15280Is n''t it terrible to be sick?"
15280It is nice, sweet roots and grasses that grow down under water,"and, with that, what do you think he did?
15280Lost in this beautiful place?"
15280Lulu did n''t care, because she was allowed to keep the kittie for herself, and what do you think?
15280Lulu looked down, and what do you think she saw?
15280May he come?"
15280No?
15280Not the mud turtle fairy prince?"
15280Now I call that doing something do n''t you?
15280Now I call that too bad, do n''t you?
15280Now was n''t that a funny thing for a duck mamma to say to her little duck girl?
15280Now what do you think about it?
15280Now whom do you suppose threw the ball?
15280Now, was n''t that a good trick Jimmie played on those bad animals?
15280Now, was n''t that a magic trick?
15280Now, was n''t that kind of Aunt Lettie?
15280Now, was n''t that quite an adventure?
15280Now, was n''t that rather odd?
15280Now, what do you suppose prevented him?
15280Now, what do you think about that?
15280Oh, I do seem to have the worst luck; do n''t I?"
15280Oh, but was n''t he the bold, bad story- telling fox, though?
15280Oh, dear me, how foolish some roosters are, anyhow, now are n''t they, really?
15280Oh, how foolish some ducks are; now, are n''t they, honestly?
15280Oh, was n''t he a good dog, though?
15280Oh, was n''t he a tricky old rooster, though, eh?
15280Oh, was n''t he the bold, ugly dog, though?
15280Oh, yes, there was one more, puss in the corner, and whom do you suppose was the puss?
15280Once more the trumpet sounded, and the boy called out:"Am I too late for the party?"
15280STORY XIV LULU AND THE PUSSY WILLOWS"What shall we do now?"
15280STORY XXII HOW ALICE CUT HER FOOT Did you ever go barefooted in the summer time?
15280See?
15280She popped right out of the water, and when she saw the three duck children she asked:"Did you hear me singing?"
15280Sick?
15280So go to sleep, and be good children, and maybe you''ll dream about Peetie and Jackie-- who knows?
15280So he got up and he called to Lulu and Alice in the next room:"Say, do n''t you smell smoke?"
15280So he said this little verse:"Wiggily, waggily, woggily wome, How shall I get Alice home?
15280So he started to walk off, and then what do you think happened?
15280So he went to look, and what do you think he found?
15280So that is how Jimmie was saved from the waterfall, and when his papa and mamma came home they were very glad, of course, and why should n''t they be?
15280Then Alice went right up to the mud turtle and said:"O fairy prince, art thou much hurt?"
15280Then Jane gnawed out a little crutch for grandfather to walk with, as he was a trifle lame, and what do you think?
15280Then Mooleyooly said, as she licked her lips with her red tongue:"What have we here?
15280Then he lighted the candle as quickly as he could, and what do you suppose he saw?
15280Then he looked at Lulu some more, and growled even louder, and he asked her:"What are you, a chicken or a turkey?"
15280Then he said to Jimmie:"Why do n''t you dive down under the water the way I do?
15280Then she heard some one saying:"Ah, good day, Mr. Fox; what have you in that bag?"
15280Then she went home with Lulu, and Jimmie said if he ever saw that dog he would throw a stone at him, and I would n''t blame him, would you?
15280Then what do you think happened?
15280Then, what do you think happened?
15280They all turned around, and whom do you think they saw coming right out of the woods?
15280Well, as true as I''m telling you, no sooner had she made that wish about the fairy prince than a voice called out:"Who is crying?
15280Well, that''s how things will sometimes happen in this world, wo n''t they?
15280Well, this is the song:"I''m not afraid to wander In woodlands dark and drear, For who is there to harm me When not a soul is near?
15280Well, were n''t those puppy dogs brave, though, to go out in the dark night?
15280Well, would you ever imagine it?
15280What are you calling me names for?"
15280What are you doing here, little ones?"
15280What do we want of a boat?"
15280What good would money be to me?
15280What put the notion into your heads that I ca n''t?"
15280What''s that?
15280What''s that?
15280What''s that?"
15280What''s that?"
15280What''s your last name?
15280Whatever shall I do?"
15280Where are you going?"
15280Why did n''t you do that, eh?"
15280Why did you bring them in here?
15280Why do you ask?"
15280Why should I be afraid?"
15280Why were they named Wibblewobble?
15280Will you let me take him?"
15280Will you take us there some day, Alice?"
15280Would n''t you, boys and girls-- I mean, of course, you girls-- have done the same?
15280You can play ball, ca n''t you?"
15280You did n''t know ducks had teeth?
15280You have n''t lived here very long, have you?"
15280[ Illustration]"Me?
15280and was n''t Jimmie brave to hide in the pantry and discover them?
15280asked the old lady goat, shaking her horns again,"Do n''t they grow?"
15280cried Lulu Wibblewobble,"where are you going this bright, beautiful, sunshiny day?"
15280cried Lulu,"are you a fairy?"
15280cried the little duck girl,"are you going to eat me up?"
15280if a big fox did n''t pop out from behind a tree, and before Alice could say"How do you do?"
15280the winds may blow and the cows may crow, But what care we for that?
15280why start off, and, who knows?
