Description
Excerpt from Sunshine Beggars
His fork fell with a bang. John jumped to his feet, and peered out through a curtained window not much larger than a big school geography.
Mrs. Giddings immediately followed, moving more slowly, for the good Mrs. Giddings was not thin, and fitted her kindly, pink face into the square of a similar window, not six feet away.
What they saw was a slender, childish figure. It wore a full short frock of black and white gingham, and over this had been drawn a sweater of dull red, which was scant as if from many washings. A red cap to match was hung to one Side of a bright blond head. The thin little legs were in white stockings; and rather worn shoes covered the swift ?ying feet.
Beside the sobbing girl leaped and bounded a great collie dog. Both were racing down the high pier as though nothing could stop them.
