`` Is it for the boys , too ? '' `` No , all for you and Bess . The boys will like to see it , and want to play one part of it . But you can do as you like about letting them . '' `` I 'll let Demi , if he wants to . '' `` No fear that they wo n't all want to , especially Stuffy , '' and Mrs. Bhaer 's eyes twinkled more than ever as she patted a queer knobby bundle in her lap . `` Let me feel just once , '' prayed Daisy . `` Not a feel ; you 'd guess in a minute and spoil the fun . '' Daisy groaned and then smiled all over her face , for through a little hole in the paper she caught a glimpse of something bright . `` How can I wait so long ? Could n't I see it today ? '' `` Oh dear , no ! It has got to be arranged , and ever so many parts fixed in their places . I promised Uncle Teddy that you should n't see it till it was all in apple-pie order . '' `` If uncle knows about it then it must be splendid ! '' cried Daisy , clapping her hands ; for this kind , rich , jolly uncle of hers was as good as a fairy godmother to the children , and was always planning merry surprises , pretty gifts , and droll amusements for them . `` Yes ; Teddy went and bought it with me , and we had such fun in the shop choosing the different parts . He would have everything fine and large , and my little plan got regularly splendid when he took hold . You must give him your very best kiss when he comes , for he is the kindest uncle that ever went and bought a charming little coo Bless me ! I nearly told you what it was ! ''
and Mrs. XXXXX cut that most interesting word short off in the middle , and began to look over her bills , as if afraid she would let the cat out of the bag if she talked any more .
