Then the queen rose up an’ walked all round among the flowers an’ the other fairies follered her.

Bess was ever dreaming of the land of mystery, whose pictured daughters of old she resembled; and the chance to masquerade in its atmosphere lured her.,“So they took up Joner an’ tossed him inter the sea.”,Max furnished the milk. “I haf gif mine cow much sugar to make dot milk sweet for Pilly to-day,” he explained happily to Mrs. Bennett.,“Afore I begin weedin’,” she announced, “I b’lieve I’ll make two bouquets, one orl yaller an’ one orl white, an’ some sparrer-grass in both.”,“Hold your grouch, Sour,” Harold expostulated.,As Moses clattered down stairs, Mrs. Wopp continued, “There is shore a thunderstorm comin’ up to-night. ’Pears to me I heerd like a roll of drums.”,He swung his book-strap in greeting to his mother while rolling more slowly up the rose-bordered path to the veranda.
