"Oh, you bad boys, how
cheap uggs online could you do it, to-day of all days?" shesaid reproachfully.
"Where's the harm?" asked Archie.
"You know as well as I do; your mother doesn't like it, and it's abad habit, for it wastes money and does you no good.""Fiddlesticks! every man smokes, even Uncle Alec, whom youthink so perfect," began Charlie, in his teasing way.
"No, he doesn't! He has given it up, and I know why," cried Roseeagerly.
"Now I think of it, I haven't seen the old meerschaum since

"Yes," and Rose told the little scene on the seashore in thecamping-out time.

"I'll agree if it is as

"Give up your ear-rings," and Charlie laughed wickedly, sure thatshe would never hold to that bargain.
Rose uttered a cry and clapped both hands to her ears where thegold rings hung.
