since Louise and Grace were babies, and they would not have known
what to do without her. She was as much a part of the family as any of them. The Morrison house was a big, shabby, roomy place with wide, deep porches and many windows. There was a large lawn in front and an old barn in back where the older boys had fitted up a gymnasium with all kinds of fascinating apparatus, most of which Brother and Sister were forbidden to touch. The Morrisons lived in Ridgeway, a thriving suburb of the city, where Daddy Morrison, Dick and Ralph went every day. And now that you are introduced, we'll go back to Brother and Sister making dough-men in Molly's kitchen. "What makes my dough-man kind of dark?" inquired Sister, calling Molly's attention to the queer-shaped figure she had pieced together. Sure enough Sister's dough-man, and Brother's, too, was a rather dark gray, while the bread Molly was mixing was creamy white. Mother Morrison, coming into the kitchen carrying Brother's rubbers and raincoat, saved Molly an explanation. |
