"O Uncle Harry," exclaimed Budge, "I want to bring mamma home in my goat-carriage!"
"The goat isn't strong enough, Budge, to draw mamma and you."
"Well, then, let me drive down to the depot, just to show papa an' mamma I've got a goat-carriage—I'm sure mamma would be very unhappy when she found out I had one, and she hadn't seen it first thing."
"Well, I guess you may follow me down, Budge; but you must drive very carefully."
"Oh, yes—I wouldn't get us hurt when mamma was coming for anything."
"THE SUN'LL BE DISAPPOINTED IF IT DON'T HAVE US TO LOOK AT"
"Now, boys," said I, "I want you to stay in the house and play this morning. If you go out of doors you'll get yourselves dirty."
"I guess the sun'll be disappointed if it don't have us to look at," suggested Budge.
