Five Little Peppers Grown Up
Buch
Excerpt: ...the calm spell lasts; as the train rumbled on, the sound only broken by Johnny's delighted little gurgles, as Polly played Rabbit and Fox for his delectation. Phronsie looked down the intervening space, and heaved a sigh at Polly's employment. Don't worry; I like it, telegraphed Polly, nodding away to her.

'You may be sure, Charlotte, if you keep on the lookout, there will a time come for you to help Polly.' That's what he said, and I'll hold fast to it. On and on the train rumbled. The little mother woke up with a new light in her eyes, and a pink color on her cheeks. I haven't had such a sleep in weeks, she said gratefully. Then she leaned forward. I'll take Johnny now, she said; you must be so tired. But Johnny roared out No, and beat her off with small fists and feet. He's going to sleep, said Polly, looking down at him snuggled up tightly within her arm, his heavy eyelids slowly drooping, then I'll put him down on the seat, and tuck him up for a good long nap. At the word sleep Johnny screamed out, No, no! and thrust his fat knuckles into his eyes, while he tried to sit up straight in Polly's lap.
