"No. We'll stay on the small one."
Teddy ran out of the room to get the sled.
"Me want to go on sled!" cried Baby William.
"Oh, Trouble! We can't take you!" said Jan.
"I wish you could," said Mrs. Martin. "He hasn't been out much to-day, and I want to get him used to the cold weather. It will be good for him. He loves the snow. Just give him a little ride and bring him back."
"All right," agreed Janet. "Come on, Trouble. I'll help you get your cap and jacket on."
"Is he comin' with us?" demanded Ted, as he got his sled and Janet's down out of the attic, where they had been stored all summer. "I'm not goin' coasting with him!"
"Don't forget your 'g's,' Teddy," said his mother gently.
"Well, I don't want to take the baby coasting," and Teddy was careful, this time, not to drop the last letter as he sometimes did from words where it belonged. "Can't have any fun with him along!"
"I'll just give him a little ride," whispered Janet. "You boys will have to make the hill smooth anyhow, and we girls can't have any fun till you do that. So I'll ride Trouble up and down the street for a while."
