His suit was done by the next forenoon, and father never laughed harder than when Hezekiah hopped down the walk to meet him dressed in pink trousers and coat.

The coat had flowing sleeves like the Princess wore, so Hezekiah could fly, and he seemed to like them.
His suit was such a success I began a sunbonnet, and when that was tied on him, the folks almost had spasms.

They said he wouldn't like being dressed; that he would fly away to punish me, but he did no such thing.
He stayed around the house and was tame as ever.
When I became tired sewing that afternoon, I went down the lane leading to our meadow, where Leon was killing thistles with a grubbing hoe.

I thought he would be glad to see me, and he was.

Every one had been busy in the house, so I went to the cellar the outside way and ate all I wanted from the cupboard.
