"Oh, yes, yes!" they cried. "What shall we play first?"
"Blind Man's Buff," cried Uncle John, "and I'll blind first. Here,
Rose! Tie this handkerchief over my eyes!"
Rose tied the handkerchief, and then the fun began.
"He's peeking!" cried Walter, "so he can be sure to catch Rose."
"I'm not peeking. Honest Injun!" declared Uncle John, exactly as he had heard the boys say it.
"Catch me!" cried Leslie, at the same time dodging him, and he grasped empty air.
"And me!" cried Lena, just behind him, springing past him as he turned.
Sprite made no sound as she tried to pass him, but was just a bit too slow, and he caught her.
"Ah, I know who I've found!" he cried, "because no other little girl but Sprite has such long, silken braids."
He lifted the handkerchief, and laughed to see her blushing cheeks.
