Dotty Dimple’s Flyaway

CHAPTER IV
10/12

"I saw the figure of a little girl, through my glass, not an hour ago.

It was a long way beyond the Pines, and I wondered how such a baby happened up there; but I had so much else to think of that it passed out of my mind." About eight o'clock, Flyaway was found in the woods, sound asleep, under a hemlock tree, her faithful Dinah hugged close to her heart.

Horace's eyes overflowed.

He caught his beloved pet in his arms.
"O, little Topknot!" he cried.

"Who's got you?
Look up, look up, little Brown-brimmer." All Flyaway could do was to sob gently, and then curl her head down on her brother's shoulder, saying, sleepily, "Cold, ou' doors stayin'." "Why did our darling run away ?" "Didn't yun away; I's goin' up to heaven see Charlie," replied Flyaway, suddenly remembering the object of her journey, and gazing around at Abner, Dr.Gray, and the other people, with eyes full of wonder.
