Flash is all right.”,At last the long-looked-for day arrived and by two o’clock eight children from the nearest ranches had ridden or had been brought by grownups to the Wopp farm, all arrayed in their best bibs and tuckers.,“Jiminy whiz! Your royal splendor dazzles me!” Billy chaffed.,“Oh, please, mister, sir, don’t hurt Bouncer. I’d rather you’d hit me.

She looked up, bravely pleading for the dog she hugged harder.，“Mudgie, Mudgie,” he shrieked.，Jean, too, crossed the little bridge, climbed the fence, mounted her wheel, and rolled off down the dusty road.，“Yes; but I’m afraid my papa’s dead, he’s been gone so long.” How she hated that word “kid.”“But you haven’t told us what hurries you so,” Jean called, while Billy was already sprinting away.

Better than all others,,“Next month when currants are ripe you shall see.”,“Here come the Wopps,” said Nell to her companion as the family entered, led as usual by Mrs. Wopp. Mr. Wopp came next especially scoured for the occasion, freshly shaved and with long side hair carefully oiled and combed over the bald spot on his crown.
