You know she would n't take us in the fall , cause we had whooping-cough , and it was damp there . Now we shall see all the nice things ; wo n't it be fun ? '' observed Bab , after a pause . `` Yes , indeed ! Ma says there 's lots of books in one room , and I can look at 'em while she goes round . May be I 'll have time to read some , and then I can tell you , '' answered Betty , who dearly loved stories , and seldom got any new ones . `` I 'd rather see the old spinning-wheel up garret , and the big pictures , and the queer clothes in the blue chest . It makes me mad to have them all shut up there , when we might have such fun with them . I 'd just like to bang that old door down ! '' And Bab twisted round to give it a thump with her boots . `` You need n't laugh ; you know you 'd like it as much as me , '' she added , twisting back again , rather ashamed of her impatience . `` I did n't laugh . '' `` You did ! Do n't you suppose I know what laughing is ? '' `` I guess I know I did n't . '' `` You did laugh ! How darst you tell such a fib ? '' `` If you say that again I 'll take Belinda and go right home ; then what will you do ? '' `` I 'll eat up the cake . '' `` No , you wo n't !
It 's mine , XXXXX said so ; and you are only company , so you 'd better behave or I wo n't have any party at all , so now . ''
