'' `` Uncle forbids our playing for money . Dan , what do you want ? '' `` Let 's have a battle between the Greeks and Romans . '' `` Stuffy ? '' `` Roast apples , pop corn , and crack nuts . '' `` Good ! good ! '' cried several ; and when the vote was taken , Stuffy 's proposal carried the day . Some went to the cellar for apples , some to the garret for nuts , and others looked up the popper and the corn . `` We had better ask the girls to come in , had n't we ? '' said Demi , in a sudden fit of politeness . `` Daisy pricks chestnuts beautifully , '' put in Nat , who wanted his little friend to share the fun . `` Nan pops corn tip-top , we must have her , '' added Tommy . `` Bring in your sweethearts then , we do n't mind , '' said Jack , who laughed at the innocent regard the little people had for one another . `` You sha n't call my sister a sweetheart ; it is so silly ! ''
cried Demi , in a way that made XXXXX laugh .
