thought my little
Bye-Bye was crying for me."

"Don't you worry, Mrs. Emerson," Nick exclaimed. "We'll give him so
much fun he won't know you're gone. I'll bring my horse and take him
to ride every day."

"We'll buy all the playthings in town for him."

"We'll tote him around all the time. It'll give us something to do and
keep us out of mischief. He shan't shed a tear while you're gone."

"Here, Bye-Bye," called Tom, "come and ride on my shoulder." And
mounted on that big, high pedestal the child was marched up and down
the porch, laughing and clapping his hands. "We'll stay and amuse him
while you-all go to the depot, so he won't cry after you."

"I'll make him some reins out of my Chiny pigtail," said Nick.
"You-all go right along, Mrs. Emerson, and don't you worry once. He
shan't whimper while you're gone, and he'll have such a good time
he'll be sorry to see you come home."

Marguerite looked back from the carriage window as they drove away and
saw little Paul holding fast to the middle of Nick's precious queue,
laughing and shouting, while two tall figures attached to its ends
pranced and kicked and cavorted up and down the veranda.
