"Yes; don't you know about
'Marfa and Mary's jus' gone along
To ring dem charmin' bells,'
that them Jubilees sings about?"
"Oh, Martha, you mean?"
"Yes, Marfa—that's what I say. Toddie's dolly's got brown eyes, an' my dolly's got blue eyes."
"I want to shee yours watch," remarked Toddie, snatching at my chain, and rolling into my lap.
"Oh—oo—ee, so do I," shouted Budge, hastening to occupy one knee, and in transitu wiping his shoes on my trousers and the skirts of my coat. Each imp put an arm about me to steady himself, as I produced my three-hundred dollar time-keeper, and showed them the dial.
"I want to see the wheels go round," said Budge.
"Want to shee wheels go wound," echoed Toddie.
