Don't you be forgetting yourself and saying anything like that before anyone, or I would be ruined entirely." "Well, I did think when ye began it," said Katy, "that of all the wild foolishness ye and your pa had ever gone through with, that was the worst, but that last mess ye worked out was so tasty to the tongue that I thought of it a lot, and I'm kind o' hankering for more." Linda caught Katy and swung her around the kitchen in a wild war dance.
Her gayest laugh bubbled clear from the joy peak of her soul.
"Katy," she said, "if you had lain awake all night trying to say something that would particularly please me, you couldn't have done better.

That was a quaint little phrase and a true little phrase, and I know a little spot that it will fit exactly.

What am I doing today?
Well, several things, Katy.

First, anything you need about the house.
Next, I am going to empty the billiard room and sell some of the excess furniture of the library, and with the returns I am going to buy me a rug and a table and some tools to work with, so I won't have to clutter up my bedroom with my lessons and things I bring in that I want to save.
And then I am going to sell the technical stuff from the library and use that money where it will be of greatest advantage to me.

And then, Katy, I am going to manicure the Bear Cat and I am going to drive it again." Linda hesitated.
