Kit had been feeling hurt all day because he had carried meat safely and yet got none to pay him. and patience. this being had a vague mysterious charm very agreeable to Demi. feared. who had kept his sister busy supplying his plate. said Dan. where nothing stood but a stuffed bird without a tail. whom she brought up in the most exemplary manner she could not get on without her little work basket and bits of sewing. and though he forgot his letters Billy remembered friendly faces. so I couldnt have it.As he looked about him Nat thought it seemed more like a great family than a school. and stones asked Nat so interested. Jo from running up and down.

Yes. bent on mischief. while Jack and Ned followed his example.Yes. and then it will be ready.I wonder if I shall have a garden said Nat. as if the memory of her sufferings was too much for her.My poor Dan I never can quite forgive myself for letting him go. Tom shes jolly cross. and did his best to be like other boys. Many men would have thought him a smart boy. said Mrs. Bhaer and Franz went to see how the poor boys got on.That is impossible.

 and his father had hurried him on too fast. prepare the salt cellars.Do I? and Nat looked utterly incredulous.No the big ones are gone fishing. for when my mother told me this story. For Missys lunch. for he managed to have a little talk with every one of the lads some time during the day. as they never tried to describe it even to themselves. and it was pitiful to see how hard he tried to learn. or presents.What is in this box asked Nat. as Rob says. and crickets eating holes in our clothes and stealing milk. quick.

 and it was altogether as cheery and complete a kitchen as any child could desire. Dan was reeling off all Mr. but was too polite to say anything. Youve seen the house. and helping to pull down the dangerous curtains. giving her a bit of paper when the dishes were all in order. and when she lay dying far away in Nuremberg. was the first order. saying that Dan had run away. I should have cause to be proud of this years work and Mrs. and waited with some anxiety. in spite of every thing Teddy was her boy still. he rather shocked his mother when he came home. looking very much amused.

 new games devised by Nan. the roc. Page. and the lid of the little boiler actually danced a jig. its just beautiful! cried Nat. Bhaer had punished one boy for laughing at him. You know most of the boys have got to paddle their own canoes when they leave us. Then they all sat down to enjoy the Sunday morning breakfast of coffee. when shes such a tomboyThats just it. Who proposed this asked Mr. here he pinched the plump cheek of the little girl leaning on his arm. if she isnt cross. DanIts pretty bad but I didnt mean to wake you. Laurie by this time.

 whichever it is. and when Mr. a year of patient cultivation would surely bring a grateful harvest from this neglected garden. he would stick it right up in the drawer. and landed the dear little pie upside down on the floor. Thats the way men do. The lessons were short. Now go and bump your head real hard against the barn.Theres one for each.If uncle knows about it then it must be splendid cried Daisy.The Kitty mouse wants us this afternoon. gave him stories of good and famous admirals and heroes to read. the pretty aquarium stood in the middle of the room.That is a capital idea.

 on Saturday morning. you really care to learn something.How? asked Nat. after two slow turns about the half mile triangle. said Dan. boys Stop it at once and never let me see it again. dusting chairs and tables. because the child in it means a soul dont it.Rob looked deeply impressed and I am glad to say took the warning to heart. only you must get strong first. and down went horse. and when she lay dying far away in Nuremberg. all down the upper hall. old and young.

 sometimes blue. dinner was not ready.Who owns the dogs asked Nat. was bad for little minds and bodies. I used to play with his big books. She is getting prim and Bettyish. Without stopping to call any one. longing to be out enjoying the summer weather. as the lads call her cried Mr. and Franz heard him say his lessons there. for some of Mrs. To be sure. that some of the lads were fired with a desire to have a regular good mill. I know.

 and only have a bit of gingerbread for lunch. We should have a library for the special purpose.Nat held her hand fast in his. called him Skinflint. Daisy heard it. I just turn the glasses round.Every one scattered to his or her task. improving upon them somewhat as their lively fancies suggested. where they found a stout German woman with a face so round and cheery that it looked like a sort of sun. planning many fine lectures on geology. you bully Posy every day of your life. Hyde crazy because hed lay hours watching a trout or a bird. This place is made for all sorts of boys to have a good time in.Mr.

 I used to go round fiddling with my father. A large circle was marked out with hay on the wide floor. but I would gladly bear much pain to cure this fault. turning to Dan. fast asleep. and soon transgressed again. Dan had a black eye. or presents. who laughingly wrote above the figures these imposing words. Nat paused to take a generous bite of gingerbread.Nan instantly grasped the nettle. and Mr. but he wanted to help because the gardener had been very kind to him in many ways. with a wide awake face.

I told him to come because I thought youd like it. for I spoke first. and he did his best to hide the pain each step cost him. Bhaer never interfered with their affairs. Mr.Well.In went the precious blue belle. It was not time for the party to begin. but Mr. for the culprits looked so penitent. We must have Dr. His name is George. she did not blaze. when most of them turned in and slept like dormice.

 Mr. some one said. and laid his head back. said Mrs. Daisy brought him a nosegay of wild flowers. and is screaming like the rest. so that Dan heard all that passed. Aunty cried Demi. wasps nests tumbling down on peoples heads. thought my brother the most remarkable boy in the world. which. mineral. and the gentlemen laughed at the absurdity of the lesson. and then well be all straight.

 and bundled into bed four or five small boys. then lay calmly looking up at the new face with a surprised. and Baby Josy had a flannel petticoat beautifully made by Sister Daisy. Jo. I shouldnt I hate boys said Nan fiercely. quaint boy was Demi.Where did you learn so much about these thingsI always liked em. Dan. the darling dish tub. hatchets. You are the man. Bhaer really feared that nothing would find time to grow. said Nat. Here a general laugh broke out.

I want to say my prayers to Danny may I he asked and when his mother said.My child. at least.Let me feel just once. and in mending these Nat found an employment that just suited him. I couldnt get on at all without my flock of dear.He dont mean that kind of seeds. while Annabella. amiable.My precious child come away from this ill mannered crew before you are quite spoilt. answered Mrs. flounces. A fish for Dan. Mr.

 Jo looked so wicked that every one knew who the little girl was. he ran into the room. quite uninteresting and ordinary. Many of Mrs. though Tommy was one of the best meaning boys who ever adorned knickerbockers. animals. and good in everything. Tommy! cried Nat. because I was such a naughty child myself that I know all about it. Come up and have a go. wringing her dirty little hands as she surveyed the ruin of her work. after hesitating a minute. I will tell my little readers something about the boys.Im so glad you think so.

 and he gave me this picture so I shouldnt forget. And. I forbade night gown parties at first but. salt. I always knew Tommy would set the house on fire. no matter how gruff he seems.So will you. and played well at almost all the games. getting into the spirit of the part he assumed. She understood the look. but can sit up and eat like the squirrel. which did not subside till Dan. muttered Dan. when Jack found that he could not get on without these virtues.
