`` Happy is the man who can put temptation in his pocket and learn self-denial from so sweet a little teacher ! '' added Mr. Bhaer , as the children passed the window , Stuffy 's fat face full of placid satisfaction , and Goldilocks surveying her sugar-rose with polite interest , though she would have preferred a real flower with a `` pitty smell . '' When her father came to take her home , a universal wail arose , and the parting gifts showered upon her increased her luggage to such an extent that Mr. Laurie proposed having out the big wagon to take it into town . Every one had given her something ; and it was found difficult to pack white mice , cake , a parcel of shells , apples , a rabbit kicking violently in a bag , a large cabbage for his refreshment , a bottle of minnows , and a mammoth bouquet . The farewell scene was moving , for the Princess sat upon the hall-table , surrounded by her subjects . She kissed her cousins , and held out her hand to the other boys , who shook it gently with various soft speeches , for they were taught not to be ashamed of showing their emotions . `` Come again soon , little dear , '' whispered Dan , fastening his best green-and-gold beetle in her hat . `` Do n't forget me , Princess , whatever you do , '' said the engaging Tommy , taking a last stroke of the pretty hair . `` I am coming to your house next week , and then I shall see you , Bess , '' added Nat , as if he found consolation in the thought . `` Do shake hands now , '' cried Jack , offering a smooth paw . `` Here are two nice new ones to remember us by , '' said Dick and Dolly , presenting fresh whistles , quite unconscious that seven old ones had been privately deposited in the kitchen-stove . `` My little precious ! I shall work you a book-mark right away , and you must keep it always , '' said Nan , with a warm embrace . But of all the farewells , poor Billy 's was the most pathetic , for the thought that she was really going became so unbearable that he cast himself down before her , hugging her little blue boots and blubbering despairingly , `` Do n't go away ! oh , do n't ! '' Goldilocks was so touched by this burst of feeling , that she leaned over and lifting the poor lad 's head , said , in her soft , little voice , `` Do n't cry , poor Billy ! I will tiss you and tum adain soon . '' This promise consoled Billy , and he fell back beaming with pride at the unusual honor conferred upon him . `` Me too ! me too ! ''
clamored XXXXX and Dolly , feeling that their devotion deserved some return .
