a crippled Noah's ark, and a disabled backgammon board.

"What are you up to?" exclaimed Peter severely.

"Daddy's sick and cold, and he hasn't got any shoes to mend, and he hasn't got any money, and no wood, and he's so hungry; and if he gets warm p'r'aps he won't be so hungry, and so I-oh, dolly, you darling! there burn up quick!" And she pushed the legs of the doll into the stove, where its head already was burning, and threw herself in a heap on the floor, her little thin frame shaking with sobs.

Peter looked at her like a judge, walked over to the bed, pulled down the worn quilt, put his hand on the sick man's head, and felt his pulse as if he were a doctor. Then he went back to the little girl, and sitting down on the floor by her, took off his boots and threw them into the fire.

This being done he strode back to the bed, and said, "You must get well. I haven't any boots you've got to make me a pair right off!"

The cobbler sat straight up in bed. The little girl also sat up, but only to throw her Noah's ark into the stove, for the feeble flame made by the doll had gone out and the boots had not yet blazed up. Peter's feet began to feel cold, and he stood stamping to make them warm. ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/27 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/28 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/29 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/30 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/31 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/32 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/33 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/34 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/35 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/36 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/37 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/38 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/39 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/40 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/41 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/42 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/43 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/44 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/45 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/46 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/47 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/48 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/49 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/50 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/51 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/52 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/53 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/54 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/55 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/56 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/57 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/58 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/59 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/60 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/61 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/62 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/63 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/64 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/65 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/66 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/67 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/68 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/69 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/70 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/71 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/72 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/73 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/74 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/75 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/76 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/77 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/78 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/79 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/80 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/81 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/82 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/83 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/84 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/85 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/86 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/87 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/88 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/89 ​Page:Little Dick's son (IA littledicksson00well).pdf/90
