“But you are not going.”
“I wantsh to go so baddy,” said Toddie, beginning to cry.
“I suppose you do, and auntie is very sorry for you, but that does not alter the case. When grown people say ‘No!’ little boys must understand that they mean it.”
“But what I wantsh izh to go a-widin’ wif you.”
“And what I want is, that you shall stay at home; so you must. Let us have no more talk about it now. Shouldn’t you like to go into the garden and pick some strawberries all for yourself?”
“No, I’d like to go widin’.”
“Toddie,” said Mrs. Burton, “don’t let me hear one more word about riding.”
“Well, I want to go.”
“Toddie, I will have to punish you if you say any more on this subject, and that will make me very unhappy. You don’t want to make auntie unhappy on her birthday, do you?”
“No; but I do want to go a-widin’.”
