Presently she dropped
something else, and this time it was the kitty. Flyaway turned about
in dismay.
"Shtop," cried she, scowling through her "spetty-curls," as she saw
three white paws and one blue one go tripping over the road. "Shtop!"
But the paws kept on.
"O, Diny," said Flyaway, as pussy's tail disappeared round a
corner,--"O, Diny, her don't want to go to heaven!"
Then Flyaway sat down in the sand, and pulled off one of the big
boots.
"Um won't walk," said she; but, before she had time to pull off the
second one, a dog came along and frightened her so she tried to run,
though she only hopped on one foot, and dragged the other. She did not
know what the matter was till she fell down and the boot came off of
itself, after which she could walk very well. What cared she that both
"Hollis's" new boots were left in the road, ready to be crushed by
wagon wheels?
She kept on and kept on; but where was that blue hill going to? It
moved faster than she did.
"Makes me povokin'," said she, giving Dinah a shake.
