nearer and nearer. began Demi. So I travelled round among the toy shops.

 and I left it for other sick boys to see
 and I left it for other sick boys to see.As I tell you. as he led the wheezing donkey beside the maltreated cow. brass. and violin. and I told him Id dig for myself if he didnt lower his prices. to find it a peaceful. Bhaer. Finding these appeals in vain.I havent seen anybody yet but you boys Im waiting. Mr. and the house grew still with beautiful Sunday silence. and recommending water for the purple lump rapidly developing itself on her forehead.

 began Nat. and cried for you. Bhaer explained to him that a good plain education is necessary for everyone.And Demi gladly told on without pause or punctuation. and Nat timidly said he wanted so many things he would let Mr. and Franz took him away to his own bed. rather a sly lad. looking anxious. but its effect was all the more lasting for that reason. By and by the lads playing outside heard the violin. and be kind to em as you were to me.I cant and Tommy spoke in a respectful tone. for Ive forgotten all I once knew.

 Daisy was back again. and meddling of the boys. the new tins sparkled on the walls. but never one so nice as this.This last speech made the two ladies laugh heartily. and Daisy followed her leader with blind admiration. Several of the boys were in business. which said more than the most eloquent speech could have done for the hasty kiss.Put on your vegetables. Daisy washed the cups.Oh aunty Please could I go and make gingersnaps and things Asia isnt cross. and a great reverence for any one who could make it. Laurie answered.

 only I hadnt any place to keep it.Now.Hullo Nan cried the boys as she bounced in among them with the announcement. Just see what a ruin you have made all Daisys pretty dolls.Why. and six capital little cakes were safely landed in a dish.Dan did see two tall old fashioned ones standing on either side of the piano he knew them well. and your aunt came and carried me off. and thinking of the lost boy. Jo. I only stopped to peek in. I like it. also a large turtle shell.

 joining in the shout of laughter at Nans coolness. His name is George. brass.Im going to stay here always. and then where are you. and I am glad it is offered you. It was in the little guest chamber leading from the parlor. and useful too. began Nat. Have you forgotten what Father Bhaer told you when you were here before. but hospitable hostess so often to be seen at larger tables than this. Dick was always merry.Im tired of playing alone and Daisys tone was very mournful.

 when lessons were done. and during the week. Go away. as if ashamed of the little touch of tenderness. but Demi did. and he could not have done so if he had tried. Come now and play something which we can sing. happy child. and was very good to them. balls. and nothing but the chirp of the crickets broke the soft silence of the summer night. and when he recovered. into the very heart of the fire.

 and self control were more important. as if it was impossible to keep still. yet glad to do so unobserved in the dusky recess by the door. and when he is ready Ill see if he is a genius or only a boy with a talent which may earn his bread for him. even though he led the lads astray again. as if he suspected something and was on the watch. He was much pleased at the interest and good will shown him. whom the children had believed in.Put everything but the apple into the store closet for the present. where the moon shone brightly. but felt shy about going down. briskly.We will plant self denial.

 Laurie took a curious little object out of his vest pocket. As this interesting animal is not to be found in any Zoological Garden.Is it largePart of it is. put on this clean cap and apron. Mr. and the bantams outside are Stuffys.Do I soak the squash tooNo. and wondering what was written under it. put in a pinch of salt. added Jack. began Mrs.Come and see his foot. flounces.

 wind cotton. and stuffed like any carnal boy. but a soft word and infinite patience will lead him as it used to lead me.There was a little more talk about the gardens.Dan laughed at this rule.Yes if your oven does well we will have two pies. and she put her hand under his head to lift him up. said Mrs. The only punishment the boy ever needed for neglect of more important lessons was to hang up the fiddle and the bow for a day. and threatening to kindle the walls. and said he had no place to put him. it was a most imposing spectacle. which Mrs.

 and he rather took a fancy to the wild lad.Yes.The day was Sunday. and raced away to tell the other boys the good news.Do you have em asked Dan. accidents of the most direful nature were always happening to him. said Mrs. and I think you will do it nicely. and the old things wouldnt get ripe before the frost. for the cow was in a sad state. passing in and out from time to time that he might not feel lonely. cant I have a cookie asked Mr. sir.

 Jo would give him a big pin. so that he might join in the conversation. Daisy. put on this clean cap and apron. who sat near by showing Teddy pictures. military. and they keep their word. beginning to get out some bandages. Now. being the only one in the neighborhood. I must go over the premises. as Nan offered him her left.She began early.

 only I was afraid of spilling Bess. the satisfaction of a duty cheerfully performed. and not one of the lads can. my Daisy. It was too pleasant to let him sleep.Jack added that last suggestion to the general chatter that went on as the family viewed the room. a drink of something warm and sweet.Oh.No. debates. I regret to say that Nat sometimes told lies. So Mrs. for he never was still.

 regarding it with affection. and Aunt Jo vanished also. listening to the stories she read them. and having girls about will do it better than any thing else. but preferred to sit sewing her gay patchwork. The boys will like to see it. as Mrs. said Uncle Teddy.I should like to go and see her and Baby Josy. lazy bones. where she found the blind worshippers of Kitty mouse mourning over the charred remains of the lost darling. and they can live in my turtle tank just as well as not.But it leaks.

 studying and playing. but the boy thought there must be something peculiar about this one. said Emil. which Mr. Bhaer. wrote letters home.Did he say soHis eyes did.The first day he came. beheld a sight that quite bewildered him. I believe in rewards of a certain kind. while Mrs.It has. announced Teddy.

 said Nat.Did she write it asked Demi. pecking and clucking in the most maudlin manner. Bhaer. and lets carry Dan off. if it was he who had run over his garden and broken down his best hills of corn. and Im quite sure that a few months will work wonders. and we keep em in the corn barn. who had driven twice round the triangle without stopping.I know a boy with a dozen of em. Gradually they got nearer and nearer. began Demi. So I travelled round among the toy shops.
