What dismal sighs from Moses who, like the Marchioness, cooled his eye at the keyhole!

What yelps from Jethro when Moses trod on his foot in headlong flight from the door as his mother approached! What copious notes written by Ebenezer Wopp on the whispering and conspiracies in the kitchen! And then again what sweeping up and burning of cardboard, what hunting through old newspapers and magazines, and what clicking of scissors while a small pair of jaws worked simultaneously! What gorgeous hues from the paint-box as Betty mixed her colors and painted innumerable pictures cut from the magazines! Animals, birds, flowers! Gay as color could make them!

“Well, time is near up younguns; has any one a question to arsk?”,“In a minute I heard the teentiest little mew. I looked and there was Tom crouched against the side of the house.

We can have,Bess’s coming launched the procession. People in the vicinity who had not before known of the presence of a circus, knew it now.
