all of us would, all the time we had while you were away, so she'd get

"Aw-a-ah!" marvelled Mickey.
"He did too!" insisted Mary. "This morning 'fore you came out. And Junior
would too. He'd give all in his bank! And he'd rub too! He said he would."
"Well, if you ain't the nicest folks!" cried Mickey. "Gee, I'm glad I
found you!"
"Jus' as glad!" chimed in Peaches.
"Mary bring Robert here!" called Mrs. Harding from the hall. Mary obeyed.
Mickey moved up and looked intently at Peaches.
"Well Lily," he asked, "what do you _think_ of this?"
"I wouldn't trade this for Heaven!" she answered.
"The country is all the Heaven a-body needs, in June."
"Mickey, bring in the cow now!" ordered Peaches.
