“What’s the matter, David?”
He made no answer, and Miss Fosbrook let him alone; but Annie presently bounced in, crying out, “Davie, Davie! where were you? we have been hunting for you everywhere! Where did you go?”
“I went with Purday.”
“What, to milk the cows?”
“Yes.”
“And then?”
“I went with him to Farmer Long’s, to see his little Chinese pigs.”
“And you have bought one! O Davie!”
“Purday is to ask the farmer about the price to-morrow morning, because he wasn’t at home.”
“Then you won’t get the carpenter’s tools?” said Annie.
