15977 | But now that Jack has thrown the stone, can not you set him the example of overcoming evil with good? |
15977 | Could n''t I? |
15977 | HAVE YOU SEEN MY DARLING NESTLINGS? |
15977 | No, we ca n''t do that, Frank, for to- morrow is Sunday, and grandmother does not let us go into the woods on Sunday; oh, what shall we do? |
15977 | Oh, have you naught to tell me To ease my aching breast, About my tender offspring, That I left within my nest? 15977 Then what makes you look so sober?" |
15977 | What''ll you do? |
15977 | Who did this? |
15977 | Why do you not eat your supper, children? |
15977 | Fanny was looking very serious, when Frank said:"Are you tired, sister? |
15977 | Her grandmother told her that that would not be right; and Fanny said very earnestly,"Why not, grandmother? |
15977 | Oh, could n''t you get just one of those little birdies for me, Frank?" |
15977 | Why did n''t you think then how you''d feel if you''d been the bird?--ha?" |
15977 | Would n''t that be an errand of mercy?" |
18256 | ''Hear, mother?'' 18256 ''Well, Lizzie, what did you hear?'' |
18256 | After they had played awhile they came to me, and I said to them,''Children, what do you hear?'' 18256 Ca n''t you spare me a pair, when these little ones have grown bigger?" |
18256 | Did you ever hear the old rhyme, children? 18256 Did you ever see a cuckoo, grandma?" |
18256 | Do n''t toads spit poison? |
18256 | Do n''t wasps make honey? |
18256 | Do nightingales sing only at night, Tom? |
18256 | Do the woods seem very dreary to you in the winter, aunt? |
18256 | Do you think it is a good thing to be able to smell so very much, grandmamma? |
18256 | Have you a blackbird''s egg? |
18256 | He knows we are talking about him-- Don''t you, old Grip? |
18256 | How are the red starts getting on? |
18256 | How can sound show itself in a face, grandmamma? |
18256 | How many bees do you think there were, grandpapa? |
18256 | I will take care of Annie,said grandpapa.--"You wo n''t be afraid in my arms, will you, my little pet, even if some bees do settle on you? |
18256 | I wonder how he manages to do it? |
18256 | If wasps do n''t store up honey for the winter, what do they live upon when there are no insects about? |
18256 | Of what use can they be to the plants? |
18256 | Suppose the queen dies, what do the bees do then, grandpapa? |
18256 | Was anybody stung when this nest was taken? |
18256 | What are those men doing? |
18256 | What birds have those men been catching? |
18256 | What did you put on, grandma? |
18256 | What do you mean, Charley? |
18256 | What have you there, Jack? 18256 What is it made of?" |
18256 | What is that pretty little flower? |
18256 | What is that? |
18256 | Where have they swarmed? |
18256 | Why do flowers want insects? |
18256 | Why does not the cuckoo build a nest for herself? |
18256 | Why not? |
18256 | _ You_ hived them, grandmamma? 18256 And now, Master Jack, how do you think these birds paid back your grandma for all her kindness? 18256 At last he exclaimed,Grandmamma, do look; is n''t that a beautiful white fleecy cloud?" |
18256 | But how do they get the wax for their cells? |
18256 | First of all they had a run round the garden, peeped into the greenhouse, and said"How do you do?" |
18256 | Grandmamma called to them not to stay out too long; but they said,"May we pick you a little nosegay first? |
18256 | It will split down his back, and then he will draw his legs out of it.--And you''ll have a nice new suit complete, wo n''t you, old Toady?" |
18256 | Shade and sunshine, flower and tree; Running waters swift and clear, And the harvests of the year.-- Tell me, Ears, what ye have heard? |
18256 | Shall I tell you? |
18256 | The gardener was working near, and he said,"Master Jack, did you ever see a wasp''s nest?" |
18256 | The ground was covered with bits of flowers.--Do you know Mrs. Jones who lives on the green, Master Jack?" |
18256 | Then as to the pease-- you like pease, do n''t you, Master Jack? |
18256 | V._ HIVING THE BEES._"Busy bee, busy bee, where do you go?" |
18256 | What is the most important part of the flower?" |
18256 | What_ is_ there to hear?'' |
18256 | When Aunt Lizzie returned she said,"These are all wild flowers here.--You know that one?" |
18256 | Who would ever guess what a man was like by seeing a mummy? |
18256 | _ THE SIX CLOSED DOORS._"Say what is it, Eyes, ye see? |
18256 | asked Jack;"and what have they got in those packages?" |
18256 | what does this mean?" |
18256 | what is that?" |
7027 | ''Are Joe and Henry friends of yours?'' 7027 ''Are you sure?'' |
7027 | ''But whom shall I ask for, when I arrive?'' 7027 ''Charles,''said the druggist one day,''do you remember the day you sorted bolts and nails for me?'' |
7027 | ''Now, Mother,''said Alfred angrily,''why do you ask me to do that, when you know I want to get started early? 7027 ''Oh, do I?'' |
7027 | ''See, Mother,''said Alfred,''is n''t this a nice string of trout?'' 7027 ''There, there, little girl,''said Mother,''what has happened? |
7027 | ''Well, well,''said Grandma kindly,''is this Daisy and Dan? 7027 ''Where''s Marion?'' |
7027 | ''Who got me out of the water?'' 7027 ''Why should I keep that lazy beast any longer?'' |
7027 | ''Would n''t you like to have a ball and bat?'' 7027 About another bee?" |
7027 | And what did my little girl like best of all? |
7027 | And who is going to get stung tonight? |
7027 | Are n''t they lovely? |
7027 | But ca n''t you keep them out? |
7027 | But why would n''t you take this one? |
7027 | But you''ll tell us a story first, wo n''t you, Grandma? |
7027 | Did n''t they ever change into good men? |
7027 | Did you ever hear such a wonderful song? |
7027 | Do they sting, like the bees in the orchard? |
7027 | Do you want us to leave you at home all alone? 7027 Does he mean that_ we_ can name him?" |
7027 | Grandma,said Don,"what kind of bee will you tell us about tonight?" |
7027 | How do you know? |
7027 | If they had come with us to Grandpa''s, they would not have been so lonesome, would they, Joyce? |
7027 | Is n''t he cute? |
7027 | Is n''t the grass nice and soft here? |
7027 | Is that the end of the story? |
7027 | It''s story time, is n''t it? |
7027 | Noticing that Willie''s clothes were badly worn, the gentleman said,''Will you not let me give you some money to buy clothes?'' 7027 Now,"said Grandpa,"you see why I wanted the fence between you and those hogs, do n''t you? |
7027 | O Don,she whispered,"do you think we can get it?" |
7027 | Oh, Don,cried Joyce,"what shall we call him?" |
7027 | Put plenty of them in our lunch- basket tomorrow, wo n''t you, Grandma? 7027 Then politeness means kindness, does n''t it, Grandma?" |
7027 | Was it the queen bee that stung me? |
7027 | Wh-- where am I? |
7027 | What did you enjoy most of all, during your vacation? |
7027 | What do we hear about tonight? |
7027 | What do you want to do today, children? |
7027 | What is it? |
7027 | What is the Milky Way, Grandma? |
7027 | What was the bee''s name, Grandma? |
7027 | Where_ are_ you? |
7027 | Which one? |
7027 | Why did you put those little pigs in the pen? |
7027 | Why not? |
7027 | Why, he said it just now-- didn''t you, Daddy? |
7027 | Why, you like honey, do n''t you, dear? |
7027 | Will you help me to get to the lily? |
7027 | Will you make us a kite, Grandpa? |
7027 | Without a saddle? |
7027 | ''But, my good friend- what do you know about it?'' |
7027 | ''Milton,''he said,''did you latch the gate when you came in this afternoon?'' |
7027 | ''What is it, son?'' |
7027 | ''Where have I met you before, my friend-- and what can I do for you now?'' |
7027 | And there stood old Ned, looking at them as if to say,"How did you like your bath?" |
7027 | Are you sure, children, that you still want to go to Grandma''s?" |
7027 | Bee Helpful[ Illustration]"What are you going to do with that rope?" |
7027 | But that would take quite a while; and what should they do, while they were waiting? |
7027 | Can you forgive me?'' |
7027 | Did you find anything in the chest besides bolts and nails, Henry?'' |
7027 | Do n''t you hear that old rooster telling you to get up? |
7027 | Do n''t you think it would pay to always be kind to the animals?'' |
7027 | Do you remember it?'' |
7027 | Have you ever noticed how gentle Grandpa is with all his animals?" |
7027 | He was astonished when a gentleman came up to him and said courteously,''Is this Reverend Sutherland?'' |
7027 | Holding out his hand, he asked in a feeble voice,''Is this Reverend Sutherland?'' |
7027 | They drew their chairs close to hers, and she began:"It was to be a story about a bee, was n''t it? |
7027 | Two or three men came running; and they worked over Willie, until at last he opened his blue eyes and asked faintly,''Where am I?'' |
7027 | What do I owe you for your trouble?'' |
7027 | What kind?" |
7027 | What shall I do next?'' |
7027 | What shall I do?'' |
7027 | What''s his name, Grandma?" |
7027 | Who was in trouble, they wondered? |
7027 | Why do n''t you let me throw them all away? |
7027 | Will you come with me?'' |
7027 | Would you mind stopping long enough to wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen for me?'' |
44123 | And are you truly sorry, Gracie? |
44123 | And we''ll ask mamma and Aunt Annie, wo n''t we, Maggie? |
44123 | And what color besides is he? |
44123 | And you have said all this to Miss Ashton, perhaps? |
44123 | Are not Maggie and Bessie to try with us too? |
44123 | Are you going to beg her pardon? |
44123 | Are you mad with me? |
44123 | Are you not going to let me come out, then, mamma? |
44123 | Better than any one else? |
44123 | Black or white? |
44123 | But ca n''t people like children and be glad they are going to have a nice time, even if they do n''t have any in their own homes? |
44123 | But tell us, Fanny,said Lily Norris,"why do n''t you like her so very much?" |
44123 | But what then? |
44123 | But,said Dora,"if people give you money, why do n''t you take that to buy your materials?" |
44123 | Ca n''t your mamma? 44123 Can I ask Gracie once again?" |
44123 | Can he talk? |
44123 | Can you not tell me what it is? 44123 Did Hattie bring you any message from Miss Ashton?" |
44123 | Did n''t you like him? |
44123 | Did she say so? |
44123 | Did you find you had undertaken too much, Maggie, my dear? |
44123 | Do n''t I know history better than any of you? |
44123 | Do n''t I know what Fanny said to me? 44123 Do n''t that make you mad?" |
44123 | Do n''t you think it was so very wicked in me then? |
44123 | Do n''t you try to cut off little girls''hair? |
44123 | Do you mean He would want you to tell it? |
44123 | Does he eat hay? |
44123 | Does he have four feets? |
44123 | Does he live in the stable? |
44123 | Does something provoke you or trouble you, Maggie, dear? |
44123 | Fanny did not act as if she thought we''d like her cousin Hattie very much, did she? |
44123 | For what? |
44123 | Gracie and Bessie,she said,"are you here? |
44123 | Gracie, dear,she said, coming closer to her little friend and putting her arms about her neck,"something does trouble you, does n''t it? |
44123 | Gracie,said her mother,"can you remember exactly what you said about Maggie?" |
44123 | Has she finished her education, and is she never going to school any more? |
44123 | Hattie,said Gracie, drawing her"intimate friend"into a corner during recess,"did you tell Maggie Bradford what I said about her being Queen twice?" |
44123 | Hattie,said Nellie suddenly, fixing her eyes searchingly on the little girl she addressed,"what put that idea of the fair into your head?" |
44123 | Have n''t you to pay your missionary money to our box yet? |
44123 | Have you seen her mat? |
44123 | Have you told a story? |
44123 | He is a nice, pleasant gentleman, is he not? |
44123 | How are you, Polly? |
44123 | How is Miss Ashton unjust? |
44123 | How long is she going to keep you up here? |
44123 | How many of you,continued the old lady,"are able to do worsted work nicely?" |
44123 | How sober you look, Maggie; what are you thinking about? |
44123 | I did n''t,pouted Hattie again;"and we did talk about it together, did n''t we, Maggie?" |
44123 | I will, mamma,said Gracie;"but-- but-- I suppose Nellie and the other children must be told?" |
44123 | I? |
44123 | In this city? |
44123 | Is he blat or white? |
44123 | Is he good or bad? |
44123 | Is n''t she lovely? 44123 Is she alive now?" |
44123 | Is she nice? |
44123 | Is that your Jessie? |
44123 | Is there any thing especially wrong just now, Gracie? |
44123 | Is your mother going to make you something for the fair? |
44123 | Maggie again? |
44123 | Maggie is used to it, and she makes the prettiest queen, so we''d rather have her; would n''t we, girls? |
44123 | Maggie,said Belle,"you do n''t seem very interested; why do n''t you talk about the fair and give us new ideas, as you''most always do?" |
44123 | Male or female? |
44123 | Male or female? |
44123 | Mamma,said Gracie, in a tone of some offence,"you''d never think that Hattie could make_ me_ learn to tell stories, do you? |
44123 | Miss Ashton, do you think you could let us do it? |
44123 | Old or young? |
44123 | Polly, where is the naughty child? |
44123 | Shall you ever be able to forgive me, mamma? |
44123 | That was good of her,said Gracie;"did she get all the money she wanted for him?" |
44123 | Then you think Gracie is conceited and thinks a great deal of herself, do you? |
44123 | Was everybody saying ugly things about me to- day, and talking as if I was as wicked as a murderer? |
44123 | Was she good or bad, Maggie? |
44123 | Was the little boy frightened? |
44123 | Well,said Dora,"we''ll speak to Mrs. Howard about it, and see what she says: wo n''t we, Gracie?" |
44123 | What did Fanny say? |
44123 | What does Polly want? |
44123 | What is it? 44123 What is it? |
44123 | What is it? |
44123 | What is it? |
44123 | What is the matter, Belle? |
44123 | What is this, my little girls; what is the trouble? |
44123 | What of that? 44123 What shall I do? |
44123 | What shall we play now? |
44123 | What things? |
44123 | What was she celebrated for? |
44123 | What was that? |
44123 | What will she do, I wonder,she said to herself;"will she tell mamma? |
44123 | What would you do if you had, Bessie? |
44123 | What would you do, Bessie? |
44123 | What_ have_ I done? |
44123 | What_ shall_ I do, Bessie? |
44123 | Where could we have it? |
44123 | Where did she live? |
44123 | Where does he live? |
44123 | Where''s that ink- spot? 44123 Where''s your master, Polly?" |
44123 | Who do you love, Polly? |
44123 | Who do you think_ is_ the best child in all the school? |
44123 | Who then? |
44123 | Who''s that gentleman, Lily? |
44123 | Who? |
44123 | Why did ye all run that way? 44123 Why did you not stop for me this morning?" |
44123 | Why do n''t we make some one else May Queen this year? |
44123 | Why is she going away? |
44123 | Why is she going? |
44123 | Why, do n''t you see? |
44123 | Why? |
44123 | Would n''t it be too cold to have the fair on the piazza? |
44123 | Would you do an old man a kindness, and give him his stick, little Miss? |
44123 | Would you like to do one of the mats? |
44123 | Would you like to take this also, Maggie, dear? |
44123 | All agreed and Nellie asked,--"Was she celebrated for her beauty and her misfortunes?" |
44123 | And Gracie; was she not just as bad, perhaps even worse? |
44123 | And the question arose and was eagerly discussed, who was to be the munificent purchaser? |
44123 | Bound for a frolic? |
44123 | But could she with this uncertainty of how much or how little mamma knew? |
44123 | But where was Bessie? |
44123 | Can we call her to you?" |
44123 | Could n''t ye stop a minute to help an old man?" |
44123 | Could n''t you tell me what it is, and let me see if I could comfort you? |
44123 | Did n''t Bessie come?" |
44123 | Did n''t I give you a fright, though?" |
44123 | Did n''t I play you two geese a nice trick, though? |
44123 | Did n''t he try to take your hair? |
44123 | Did you ever see such a doll?" |
44123 | Did you take me for_ that_ fellow? |
44123 | Do n''t you remember, Gracie, that time you lost your prize composition and we found it in the drawer of the hall- table?" |
44123 | Do n''t you think we could arrange it so, Gracie? |
44123 | Do you know any reason why she should have done so?" |
44123 | Gracie started, partly in astonishment, partly in dismay; for what must she do now? |
44123 | Gracie, did Miss Ashton send word to your mother and ask her to punish you?" |
44123 | Has Gracie been saying any thing unkind to you?" |
44123 | How could she lower herself so in the eyes of her schoolmates? |
44123 | How dare you do it?" |
44123 | How do you know what Fanny said to me?" |
44123 | How is that?" |
44123 | Howard?" |
44123 | Indeed, how should she? |
44123 | Let''s see; Gracie has only two more rows done than Nellie; no, Nellie has two more done than Gracie-- oh!--why-- this is Gracie''s, is n''t it? |
44123 | Maggie, will you have one?" |
44123 | Mamma would not have allowed her to see Hattie, she knew, if she had been at home; and must she send her away? |
44123 | Mrs. Howard thought it probable they would have"a rush"of customers, and who should know better than she? |
44123 | My little lady, they have him fast in jail, as he deserves; but how did you ever think I would do a thing like that?" |
44123 | Now this was seemingly a most innocent conversation; was it not? |
44123 | Oh, Hattie, did you take it out? |
44123 | She felt as if she could not bear this any longer, as if she must tell, must confess what she had done; and yet-- how? |
44123 | Then Belle turned, and exclaimed,--"Where''s Bessie? |
44123 | Then tiny feet pattered along the hall, and little May''s voice sounded through her closed door,--"Am oo dood now, Dacie? |
44123 | This was seconded by Lily''s voice calling from without,"Why do n''t you make haste? |
44123 | Was it possible? |
44123 | Was the old man really in trouble, and unable to reach his stick? |
44123 | Was there really such a difference between her work and Nellie''s that it was so easily detected? |
44123 | Was this the character her self- love was earning for her? |
44123 | We''m doin out, Dacie; am oo most dood? |
44123 | What did you say to Miss Ashton?" |
44123 | What has happened? |
44123 | What is it?" |
44123 | What was his name?" |
44123 | What will mamma say, and papa too?" |
44123 | What would mamma say, what would all say if they only knew? |
44123 | Where''s Bessie?" |
44123 | Where''s my Bessie?" |
44123 | Who was it, I say?" |
44123 | Who''ll go out?" |
44123 | Will you not come down and have some supper, Gracie?" |
44123 | Would Hattie have done as much for her or for any one else? |
44123 | Would n''t you feel awfully, Bessie, if you had done it?" |
44123 | Would n''t you, Maggie?" |
44123 | You have not let any one help you with it, have you?" |
44123 | _ A GUILTY CONSCIENCE._ If Gracie had been an unhappy and miserable child before, what was she now with all this load upon her conscience? |
44123 | _ JESSIE AND HER GRANDFATHER._ Where was Bessie? |
44123 | answered the old man surprised;"and why would I do that? |
44123 | asked Bessie, while at the same moment Dora said,--"Why do n''t you find some work and earn money that way?" |
44123 | can we go and see him?" |
44123 | could she really hope that the note had not been one of complaint of her conduct? |
44123 | did n''t I take you in? |
44123 | exclaimed Lily, indignation taking the place of her alarm,"were you tricking us? |
44123 | said Gracie,"how did you come up here? |
44123 | said Lily,"what do you talk to that proudy about it for? |
44123 | she asked, coming up the stairs to them; then, seeing Belle''s still distressed and tear- stained face she inquired,"Belle, darling, what is wrong?" |
44123 | she thought, or was this only a trap to catch her, and deprive her of her curls? |
44123 | what is the matter?" |
44123 | what shall I do? |
44123 | what shall I do? |
44123 | who, the fortunate possessor? |
15954 | A box? |
15954 | A little girl five years old do dishes? |
15954 | A present for me? |
15954 | All right,agreed John,"but may I come and see them sometimes, Grandfather?" |
15954 | All right,said Grandfather,"do you want one too, Pussy?" |
15954 | All the night, just like I do at home,answered Mary Jane,"except one time when they bumped something into my bed-- what was it, do you''spose?" |
15954 | And are n''t there any hills before we get to your house? |
15954 | And may I take them down to the house? |
15954 | And now do we work here? |
15954 | And pick flowers for my grandmother, too? |
15954 | And that little girl''s me? |
15954 | And what do you say to him when he asks you that? |
15954 | And what do you say to me? |
15954 | And what else have we here? |
15954 | And where''s the picnic? |
15954 | Another Bob? |
15954 | Are n''t you glad that big thing hit me? |
15954 | Are they all_ yours_, Grandmother? |
15954 | Are you going to show it to me? |
15954 | Are you''fraid it''ll get away, is that why you lock the gate? |
15954 | But I suppose you would n''t care to go? |
15954 | But did n''t you say they ate the garden? |
15954 | But he''s way out in the barn,cried Mary Jane who was fairly dancing with eagerness she was so anxious to see the surprise;"ca n''t I get a chair?" |
15954 | But how did they get in? |
15954 | But how do you get the money? |
15954 | But what''s the matter? |
15954 | Can I do it again? |
15954 | Can you climb up a ladder? |
15954 | Can you do it? |
15954 | Carry five? |
15954 | Could I earn some too? |
15954 | Could I play with them someday? |
15954 | Could I really? |
15954 | Could n''t we get them back again? |
15954 | Did it come on a train like I did? |
15954 | Did n''t they like our house we made for them? |
15954 | Did she do''em just like me? |
15954 | Did she show it to you? |
15954 | Did we frighten you first thing, Puss? |
15954 | Did you give them their spending money? |
15954 | Did you put your breakfast on your chairs? 15954 Do n''t they want anything to drink either?" |
15954 | Do this winter? |
15954 | Do with them? |
15954 | Do you happen to know any little girl around here who wants to work with me today? |
15954 | Does it have to be ready before we do it? |
15954 | Does rain make you feel like you wanted somebody right close? |
15954 | Does your mother think you''re old enough to know how to use one? |
15954 | Earn it? |
15954 | First, of course, we''ll get breakfast-- wouldn''t you like fresh corn bread and maple syrup? |
15954 | Go where? |
15954 | Good for you,said Grandfather,"and by the way, Mother, have you told her where she''s going to- night?" |
15954 | Got you hunting eggs already? |
15954 | Got your coat? |
15954 | Have n''t you enough animal friends as it is? 15954 Hello, Pussy; you up?" |
15954 | How about some baked apples? |
15954 | How do you feel? |
15954 | How do you pick berries? |
15954 | How do you? |
15954 | How many did you think there were? |
15954 | How old are you? |
15954 | How''ll I do it? |
15954 | How''s the circus lady? |
15954 | How? |
15954 | I saw you talking with Frances and Helen; did you like your new friends, dear? |
15954 | I think she''ll like it and that she ought to go,said Mr. Merrill promptly;"suppose we start her the first of October?" |
15954 | I''m five,replied Mary Jane,"how old are you?" |
15954 | I''m seven, only I''m not very big for seven so you would n''t guess it,said Frances,"do you go to school?" |
15954 | Is he going to stay for breakfast? |
15954 | Is it alive? |
15954 | Is it big as me? |
15954 | Is it brown or gray? |
15954 | Is she up there yet, Bob? |
15954 | Is that so? |
15954 | Is there another handkerchief around here somewhere? |
15954 | It''s a beautiful cake, Grandfather, see? |
15954 | It_ is_ breakfast time, is n''t it, Grandmother? |
15954 | Just like I scrub my hands? |
15954 | Matter where? |
15954 | May I buy one too, Grandfather? |
15954 | May he go with me to the barn? |
15954 | May we feed them all? |
15954 | Me? 15954 Not even a hint?" |
15954 | Not ready? |
15954 | Now can you set the table? |
15954 | Now will you tell us? |
15954 | Now you''ll have to tell us, wo n''t he, Grandmother? |
15954 | Now, Mary Jane,said Grandmother briskly,"what would you like to play while I do the dishes?" |
15954 | Now, how long will it take you to dress, my dear? |
15954 | Oh, could I really? |
15954 | Oh, is it, Mother? |
15954 | Oh, my no,replied Grandmother,"before breakfast? |
15954 | Pick out some frys, should we? |
15954 | Rainy? 15954 Rainy?" |
15954 | See that? |
15954 | See those nibbled off carrots? |
15954 | See those woods, girls? |
15954 | See, Grandmother? |
15954 | See? 15954 Shall we look at the animals again?" |
15954 | She''s an awful_ big_ cow, is n''t she, Grandfather? |
15954 | So my little girl learned something as well as had a good time to- night, did she? |
15954 | Sure not,agreed the porter, and then by way of keeping up the conversation, he added,"Like to ride on a train?" |
15954 | That''s funny,said Mary Jane,"more what?" |
15954 | That''s funny,she exclaimed;"what ails the child?" |
15954 | The moon? |
15954 | Then shall we go down''to the sitting- room? |
15954 | Then what is it? |
15954 | There now,said Grandfather after she handed it to him,"how''s that?" |
15954 | They wo n''t hurt you,laughed Frances,"see? |
15954 | They would n''t steal your garden, would they? |
15954 | Think so, dear? |
15954 | Those two bundles wrapped up in brown paper and tied and everything? |
15954 | We wo n''t,said Mary Jane and she clutched hers tightly in her hand,"and may we buy anything we want?" |
15954 | Well, what did you think of the sociable? |
15954 | Were they what you were hunting, Grandfather? |
15954 | What are we doing and where are we going and who''s the thief? |
15954 | What are we going to do to- day, Grandmother? |
15954 | What could I do? |
15954 | What do you think they are? |
15954 | What do you want money for? |
15954 | What do you want to do about it, children? |
15954 | What do you want to get? |
15954 | What does she mean? |
15954 | What is it we''re going to do? |
15954 | What is it-- a strawberry sociable? |
15954 | What is it? |
15954 | What is there to do? |
15954 | What we going to do to- morrow, Pussy? |
15954 | What you talking about, Father? |
15954 | What''s the matter out there? |
15954 | What''s the matter? |
15954 | What''s the surprise, Grandmother? |
15954 | What--began Mary Jane as she watched Grandmother''s hands busy folding,"what''s it going to be?" |
15954 | Where are my bunnies? |
15954 | Where is it? |
15954 | Where''ll we hunt? |
15954 | Where''s the moon? |
15954 | Where, Grandfather? |
15954 | Who is she? |
15954 | Why did n''t you bring your best dress so you could wear it to- night? |
15954 | Will he grunt? |
15954 | Will it be big? |
15954 | Will it be brown or gray? |
15954 | Will they go in my hand? |
15954 | Will they stay here while we''re gone? |
15954 | Will you, Grandmother, really truly? |
15954 | Wo n''t she know that we''ll take good care of them? |
15954 | Wo n''t that be fun,said Grandmother approvingly,"but how are you going to carry them?" |
15954 | Yes,replied Grandfather in surprise;"do n''t yours?" |
15954 | Yes? |
15954 | You''re just teasing, are n''t you, Grandfather? |
15954 | Your roads all know where they''re going, do n''t they? |
15954 | ''"Well,"said Grandfather smilingly, as he slowed the car down,"what do you think about that yourself?" |
15954 | And immediately, would you believe it? |
15954 | And when may I wash my face and you put on my hair ribbon?" |
15954 | Are those the surprise?" |
15954 | Are we going to a circus?" |
15954 | Are you hungry, Mary Jane?" |
15954 | But what do you want your money for, dear?" |
15954 | By myself?" |
15954 | Can I really truly earn some money?" |
15954 | Do n''t you want to come and eat some cake crumbs now?" |
15954 | Do n''t you want to see more of the farm?" |
15954 | Do you know what potatoes look like?" |
15954 | Get dinner? |
15954 | Grandmother Hodges saw him and supposed Mary Jane was with him so she called kindly,"Did you find the basket, dear?" |
15954 | Grandmother jumped up and hurried to the kitchen and Grandfather said,"Well, is n''t it too bad it''s a rainy day?" |
15954 | HOME AGAIN"Would you speak to her, doctor?" |
15954 | Had anything happened? |
15954 | Have you your basket?" |
15954 | How about chicken and biscuits and apple dumplings and cream?" |
15954 | How did you sleep?" |
15954 | How would you like to make her some blackberry jam? |
15954 | I wonder if it opens?" |
15954 | I''m all through my dessert; may I please be excused, Grandmother?" |
15954 | In a second he was back and what do you suppose he did? |
15954 | Is n''t she a good one, John?" |
15954 | Is your mother here, too, Mary Jane?" |
15954 | MARY JANE''S FAMILY"Is it a chicken?" |
15954 | Make it the day before she comes?" |
15954 | May I go now?" |
15954 | May I have these funny little ones? |
15954 | May I make her a cake, Grandmother? |
15954 | May I pick them out? |
15954 | Me? |
15954 | Now turn the box on its long side, so; and climb on it; then--""What''s that noise?" |
15954 | Now what in the world was coming? |
15954 | Right in the middle of a fine story, Grandfather came into the room and asked,"Is n''t there going to be any dinner to- day?" |
15954 | See? |
15954 | See?" |
15954 | Shall we get it, Mary Jane?" |
15954 | Shall we open this first, Mary Jane?" |
15954 | She opened it out and what_ do_ you suppose she saw down in the bottom of that basket? |
15954 | So the minute she was through with her apple dumplings, Mary Jane asked,"And now, please, may I get the eggs?" |
15954 | THE GARDEN THIEF"What are we doing, Grandfather?" |
15954 | The little white church with the steeple and the green blinds?" |
15954 | Then we''ll-- by the way, Mary Jane,"she asked suddenly,"what have you in those two packages in your trunk?" |
15954 | These that are all by their lonesomes in the corner?" |
15954 | They played and they hunted eggs and they rode on the cow; yes, that can be done, did n''t you ever try it? |
15954 | We''ll not wait for any sleepy baggage men-- not when Grandmother and hot griddle cakes and honey are waiting for us, will we?" |
15954 | Well, Pussy, what shall we do with them?" |
15954 | Well, then, dear,"she added kindly,"if you do n''t know a children''s thing to do, how about a grown folks''thing?" |
15954 | What are they?" |
15954 | What do you think, Father?" |
15954 | What do you think?" |
15954 | What would you do with more? |
15954 | What''s that?" |
15954 | Where''ll we go?" |
15954 | Who''s getting dinner?" |
15954 | Why did Mother send those? |
15954 | Why did n''t I think of that before?" |
15954 | Why do n''t you save it for her Christmas gift? |
15954 | Wo n''t that be fun?" |
15954 | Would n''t it make a good one?" |
15954 | Would she? |
15954 | Would you like that?" |
15954 | You''ll have something to tell your sister about when she comes now, wo n''t you?" |
15954 | asked Mrs. Merrill,"how old are you?" |
15954 | cried Mary Jane eagerly,"may I have any ones? |
15954 | cried Mary Jane happily,"and then you go out and get them in a basket just like mother told me she used to do? |
15954 | cried Mary Jane happily,"how big is he?" |
15954 | cried Mary Jane,"where did she take them?" |
15954 | exclaimed Grandmother,"where have you been all morning? |
15954 | exclaimed Mary Jane happily,"am I really big enough?" |
15954 | exclaimed Mary Jane,"and will it be pretty like my Easter rabbits?" |
15954 | exclaimed Mary Jane,"could we?" |
15954 | exclaimed the little girl happily,"is there a grown- up folks''thing I can do?" |
15954 | exclaimed the little girl,"what are they?" |
15954 | he asked,"and your hat and your-- everything?" |
15954 | he exclaimed as he laid it in front of the children,"you may unroll that and see if you can tell what it is? |
15954 | replied Grandfather;"those are only a couple of wild crab trees-- they do look pretty full of bloom as they are, do n''t they? |
15954 | said Frances, looking scornfully at the burr Alice held up for her to see;"there''s a million over there-- see? |
15954 | she asked eagerly,"can you tell me now?" |
15954 | she asked,"or shall we read what the other one says?" |
15954 | she exclaimed, for she saw in a minute what Mary Jane meant,"that noise?" |
15954 | she exclaimed,"and you did it all yourself?" |
15954 | she exclaimed,"could we take them home?" |
16954 | A friend, eh? 16954 A snake!--Oh, sister, can it be a snake?" |
16954 | And are you going to take us straight home, then? |
16954 | And did n''t you come to look for us, then? 16954 And have you got it there, then?" |
16954 | And how will ye do that, I''d like to know, my young master? |
16954 | And if those days bring nothing, what_ are_ we to think-- what are we to do? |
16954 | And is there no village nearer? |
16954 | And of course when we know all the good comes from God, it''s only_ sense_ to pray to Him, is n''t it? |
16954 | And shall us see Grandpapa and Grandmamma to- day? |
16954 | And so you are off somewhere? 16954 And the boy and his mother? |
16954 | And what''s it called? |
16954 | And where would we run to? |
16954 | And which way do you go now? |
16954 | And who''s Diana? |
16954 | And why have you taken off my chemise, Diana? 16954 And you wo n''t take us to that man?" |
16954 | And, Barbara, you had no reason for coming to see me? 16954 Are there no dogs about? |
16954 | Are there only two like that? |
16954 | Are ye a- going out of yer mind? |
16954 | Are ye a- going to take them home? |
16954 | Are you crazed, girl? |
16954 | Are you going to let her go off? |
16954 | Are you still sleepy? |
16954 | At your service, and is there anything I can do for you? |
16954 | Bruvver,said Pamela at last,"do n''t you fink it''s because us has said our prayers such many many times?" |
16954 | Bruvver,said Pamela, who had been the first to rouse up,"are you awake? |
16954 | Bruvver,she began again,"how can you say that? |
16954 | But I ca n''t eat this, can you, sister? |
16954 | But Tim too? |
16954 | But how could you stop him? |
16954 | But if it would make them let Tim come wif us? |
16954 | But is that near your home? |
16954 | But is there canals near your place? |
16954 | But you''re sure Grandmamma is n''t_ dead_? |
16954 | But, sister, how can us go home? 16954 But-- would you see Mrs. Twiss, ma''am? |
16954 | Can they be speaking of a field of battle? |
16954 | Can you? |
16954 | Come back you brats, will ye? |
16954 | Could n''t you fink it was Toby? |
16954 | Could n''t you run home quick to tell Grandpapa and Grandmamma where us is? |
16954 | D''ye think I''m going to waste any more time on such brats and their nonsense? 16954 Did he really?" |
16954 | Did n''t you miss it when you took the tray down? |
16954 | Did n''t yours, bruvver? |
16954 | Did you mean Toby too? |
16954 | Did you never tear your gowns when you were a little missy, Grandmamma? |
16954 | Do you fink they cost much-- bowls like these? |
16954 | Do you fink you should take_ all_ the money? |
16954 | Do you really think now,she said,"that it''s any good praying for a wild gipsy girl like me?" |
16954 | Do you think I''d tell a story? 16954 Had you done anyfing naughty?" |
16954 | Have you come to look for us, dear Barbara? 16954 Have you seen one of the china bowls anywhere about, you or Miss Pamela, Master Duke?" |
16954 | He''s never gone and dared to hit the little lady? |
16954 | He_ knowed_ us was here-- he did, did n''t he? 16954 Home to our own dear Grandpapa and Grandmamma?" |
16954 | How white you look, my poor Barbara-- and-- why, what''s the matter with Toby? 16954 I may call you''my good children''to- night, I hope?" |
16954 | I wonder if the birds would cover us up wif leaves,said Pamela dreamily,"like those little children long ago?" |
16954 | Indeed, how can that be? |
16954 | Is it a river? |
16954 | Is it a very long walk, do you think, Tim? |
16954 | Is it because poor Nurse is ill that you seem in such low spirits? |
16954 | Is it possible that she-- she is so shrewd and sensible-- can she have heard anything do you think, Dymock? |
16954 | Is n''t it a good thought? |
16954 | Is n''t there another shawl as''d do for the boy? 16954 Is this the Sandle''ham road? |
16954 | Just you listen to me, girl, will ye? |
16954 | Master and missy, do n''t you know me? 16954 May n''t us come out a little bit, even if it is dark? |
16954 | Missy, missy dear, would I do such a thing? |
16954 | My precious darlings!--my dear little master and missy!--and has old Barbara found you after all? 16954 Now, then, is not that a nice little treat for my two good children?" |
16954 | Oh where can it be? |
16954 | Oh, bruvver, are n''t you glad? |
16954 | Oh, my master and missy, why did I leave you? 16954 Oh, who can say But that this dream may yet come true?" |
16954 | Out o''here,why should n''t he get out of here? |
16954 | Pamela,he whispered, in what he meant to be a very low whisper indeed;"Oh, sister, are you dead?" |
16954 | Please, sir,said the boy without waiting to be asked what he wanted,"could you tell me the nearest way to Sandle''ham? |
16954 | Poor things,said Pamela,"are you tired and hungry? |
16954 | Shall I have to go home to Grandmamma with this nugly old petticoat and no frock? |
16954 | Shall you eat all yours up, bruvver? |
16954 | Shall you? |
16954 | Stop that screaming, will ye? |
16954 | Stop that, d''ye hear? 16954 Supposing-- supposing, sister, us did n''t tell Grandmamma just this time, and us would never,_ never_ not listen to that speaking inside us again?" |
16954 | That''s a knowing little chap you''ve got with you, neighbour Twiss,he said;"he favours the one at the Lodge, does he not?" |
16954 | Then is us never to run away? 16954 Then what can us do?" |
16954 | Then what did you steal them for? 16954 Then why do n''t you help us to run away, Tim?" |
16954 | Then, ma''am, if you please, would it be better for me not to come no further? 16954 There they are,"it seemed to say,"and could anything be lovelier? |
16954 | This here is new to you, no doubt? |
16954 | Tim, Tim-- where is Tim? 16954 Tim,"said Duke again,"is he not going to take us home to- night?" |
16954 | Us promised to stay here, did n''t us? |
16954 | Was there summat in it? |
16954 | We''ve the very thing-- it is strange, to be sure, that I should have just what the little master wants, is n''t it? |
16954 | Well, what is it, Dymock? |
16954 | Well, what now? |
16954 | Well, what''s that you were saying? |
16954 | What are ye a- doing with the little master and missy? |
16954 | What are you waiting there for? |
16954 | What can us do? |
16954 | What do you know of the man? 16954 What do you mean? |
16954 | What do you say to that? |
16954 | What does he want to do with us? 16954 What for will you not let me play with them a bit?" |
16954 | What for-- just because they like it? |
16954 | What have you been about, you good- for- nothing? |
16954 | What is it you''ve got to say? |
16954 | What is it, Toby? |
16954 | What is it? |
16954 | What is that shining down there, Tim? |
16954 | What old woman? |
16954 | What shall us say if Grandpapa and Grandmamma ask if us have eaten all our bread and milk? |
16954 | What was it? |
16954 | What''s a pal? |
16954 | What''s in the basket? |
16954 | What''s it called? |
16954 | What''s the matter, Biddy? |
16954 | What''s the matter? |
16954 | What''s to be done, then? |
16954 | What''s your name? 16954 What, without the bowl?" |
16954 | What? |
16954 | When it''s quite, quite dark,continued Duke,"and when Mick and them all are asleep, do n''t you think us might run away, Tim?" |
16954 | Where do you fink it can be, Duke? 16954 Who said so?" |
16954 | Who said you was a- going to die? |
16954 | Who would think it indeed? |
16954 | Who''d a- thought it? |
16954 | Who? |
16954 | Whose imp art thou with dimpled cheek, And curly pate and merry eye? |
16954 | Why ca n''t you let''em out for a bit of a run with me, like you''ve done before? |
16954 | Why did n''t you call out to us and tell us not to come? |
16954 | Why did n''t you stay with the others? 16954 Why have n''t you runned away before?" |
16954 | Why should n''t it be as much good for you as for any one? 16954 Why were you so pleased, Grandmamma?" |
16954 | Why, what''s this? |
16954 | Will Grandmamma be vexed, do you think, sister? |
16954 | Will the servants let us come so far, d''ye think? |
16954 | Would he be kind to us? |
16954 | Would n''t it be better,she said to the woman,"if you saw a bit of the bowl, then you could find the ones like it in a minute?" |
16954 | Would you let me take him with me, ma''am? |
16954 | Would you like to go to bed or to come out a little with me? |
16954 | You ate your breakfast nicely upstairs, I hope? 16954 You do n''t mean, ma''am, that such tiny trots as that would have run away on purpose?" |
16954 | You do n''t think Mick''ll beat you? |
16954 | You do n''t think they''ll put Tim in prison, do you? |
16954 | You''ll sleep very well in here, do n''t you think? |
16954 | You''re sure he wo n''t take us to that naughty man? |
16954 | You_ do n''t_ fink so, bruvver? |
16954 | _ Home_, do you mean, Diana? |
16954 | _ Toby_ could n''t have done it, could he? |
16954 | After all the trouble I''ve had with the brats, is it likely I''ll send''em home and lose all? |
16954 | An''what''s he been a- doing to ye?" |
16954 | And Mick would never catch us then, would he, Tim? |
16954 | And Tim, you have the money safe?" |
16954 | And do n''t you remember, sister, when us was little us used to think it would be_ so_ nice to live in a cart like a house, like this?" |
16954 | And have you seen Tim? |
16954 | And oh, my darlings, where_ have_ you been, and how has it all come about?" |
16954 | And over and over again, as he was falling asleep, he asked himself what could be done,--how it would be possible to make their escape? |
16954 | And they''re such babies-- only four or five years old, are n''t they? |
16954 | And was it a boat just like this, Tim?" |
16954 | And what did he walk on the top o''the water for, master?" |
16954 | And where is these same children, then? |
16954 | And would n''t you like your fortunes told, my honeys?" |
16954 | And you wo n''t tell without me knowing, will you, sister?" |
16954 | Are you_ sure_ you''ve got any bowls just like ours?" |
16954 | At last,"Sister,"said Duke,"do n''t you think us might go just a teeny weeny bit out of the wood, to watch if us ca n''t see Tim coming down the road? |
16954 | But till now, as he had told them, he had not cared to try it, for where had he to run to? |
16954 | But where_ are_ the creatures? |
16954 | But why is Toby with you?" |
16954 | Ca n''t you help us to run away now, before he comes? |
16954 | Can you hear yours, bruvver?" |
16954 | Come here, close by me; there, you can see them-- don''t they look funny?" |
16954 | Could n''t you_ try_, bruvver?" |
16954 | Could the fear and the pain have killed her? |
16954 | Did Grandpapa and Grandmamma send you, and Toby too? |
16954 | Did Tim tell you?" |
16954 | Did they ever hear of Diana again? |
16954 | Did you ever hear of that place?" |
16954 | Did you finish all the bread and milk?" |
16954 | Do you think it''s that, Tim? |
16954 | Duke opened his sleepy eyes and stared before him; Pamela, more quickly awakened, started up, crying:"What is it, Diana? |
16954 | Even if she is raver angry, would n''t it be better, bruvver? |
16954 | First, do you know the name of the village or town nearest where you live?" |
16954 | For were they not almost as terrified of him as of the snakes? |
16954 | Grandmamma,"she went on, suddenly changing the subject,"what does a''charge''mean,''a great charge?''" |
16954 | Grandpapa and Grandmamma will always take care of Tim,''cos he''s been so good to us-- won''t they, Barbara?" |
16954 | Had you so far to come this morning? |
16954 | Have you been putting your handsome sister up to this, Mick, you fool? |
16954 | He was very good to poor folk and such like, was n''t he? |
16954 | How can I describe to you that coming home? |
16954 | How can it have got brokened?" |
16954 | How did you know which way to come? |
16954 | How do you mean to get to Monkhaven?" |
16954 | How is that? |
16954 | I would n''t mind them being just a_ little_ ill, would you, sister? |
16954 | I''ll give you all the money-- oh please, where have you put my money- box?" |
16954 | I''m not such a fool as you took me for after all, eh? |
16954 | If he thought I''d run off to tell he''d----""What would he do?" |
16954 | If she could see you for a moment, ma''am?" |
16954 | Is he so pleased to see us old people again?" |
16954 | Is n''t it kind of her? |
16954 | Is that Sandle''ham?" |
16954 | Is that---- ugly man"she was going to have said, but she hesitated, afraid of hurting the boy''s feelings--"is the man your father?" |
16954 | It is n''t that naughty man come for us?" |
16954 | It''s no use our going to see the bowls if you''ve none the same-- do you fink you have any like this?" |
16954 | It''s only a bit of a step to where the others is, but he said something about the donkey, did n''t he? |
16954 | Marmaduke, my dear husband, do you hear?" |
16954 | Must we say the little master and missy told us to come for that they want to buy a bowl?" |
16954 | Oh Barbara, you have news of our darlings? |
16954 | Oh Tim, ca n''t us all run away, quick, before he comes?" |
16954 | Oh Toby, is it you, you poor little dog?" |
16954 | Perhaps it''s for a little present to their mamma they want one of our pretty bowls?" |
16954 | Peter?" |
16954 | See, wo n''t it be fine fun, sailing away along the canal?" |
16954 | So after you''ve had some breakfast, you and the little uns, what d''ye think of next?" |
16954 | That would be nice, would n''t it, Tim?" |
16954 | The man did speak so rough, did n''t he?" |
16954 | Then after Sandle''ham, which way were they to go? |
16954 | Then he added in a louder tone,"Master and missy has lost their way, do n''t ye see? |
16954 | This one''s been all new painted, do n''t you see? |
16954 | Was I too severe and strict with them, the darlings? |
16954 | We''d go so fast, would n''t we?" |
16954 | Well, Diana?" |
16954 | What could it have been? |
16954 | What did it matter? |
16954 | What did poor Toby think of it all? |
16954 | What strange words big people used!--what could Grandpapa and Grandmamma mean? |
16954 | What was coming over the world? |
16954 | What will they be doing? |
16954 | Which way would they be going? |
16954 | Why should they not be quite happy? |
16954 | Why wo n''t he take us home?" |
16954 | Would I be in the way, maybe?" |
16954 | Would n''t you, bruvver?" |
16954 | Would they skirt the canal more closely or branch off and strike away from it? |
16954 | Ye''ve not another hankerwich? |
16954 | You do n''t mean to take part with him, do you? |
16954 | You do n''t suppose childer like that''ull pay for their keep if they''re to be made princes and princesses of?" |
16954 | You do n''t think Mick will find out where us is, do you, Tim?" |
16954 | You do nothing but grumble about them now you''ve got them-- why did n''t you, any way, take them home after a bit and get something for your pains?" |
16954 | You thought maybe you''d get it straight away, and that we''d send''em home for you-- was that what father or mother thought?" |
16954 | You''ll cry yourself ill, and then----"Diana in turn looked round and lowered her voice,"have you forgotten the secret I told you? |
16954 | You''ll never help to sell those pretty babies like that? |
16954 | You''re not playing me a trick after all, are you?" |
16954 | You, nor those that sent you, did n''t know nothing of this here, I suppose?" |
16954 | _ I_ do n''t know the way, do you?" |
16954 | _ Would n''t_ you like to have them?" |
16954 | cried Duke indignantly, forgetting to whisper;"how could you think I''d ever do such a thing? |
16954 | do n''t make a noise, Toby, or Nurse may be vexed-- are you so pleased to see us, Toby?" |
16954 | do n''t you, bruvver?" |
16954 | he said,"or d''ye think I am? |
16954 | will he be good to them?" |
