What are you going to name them ? Let 's have another look . Hold me up , Jo , for upon my life it 's one too many for me , '' returned Laurie , regarding the infants with the air of a big , benevolent Newfoundland looking at a pair of infantile kittens . `` Boy and girl . Are n't they beauties ? '' said the proud papa , beaming upon the little red squirmers as if they were unfledged angels . `` Most remarkable children I ever saw . Which is which ? '' and Laurie bent like a well-sweep to examine the prodigies . `` Amy put a blue ribbon on the boy and a pink on the girl , French fashion , so you can always tell . Besides , one has blue eyes and one brown . Kiss them , Uncle Teddy , '' said wicked Jo . `` I 'm afraid they might n't like it , '' began Laurie , with unusual timidity in such matters . `` Of course they will , they are used to it now . Do it this minute , sir ! '' commanded Jo , fearing he might propose a proxy . Laurie screwed up his face and obeyed with a gingerly peck at each little cheek that produced another laugh , and made the babies squeal . `` There , I knew they did n't like it ! That 's the boy , see him kick , he hits out with his fists like a good one . Now then , young Brooke , pitch into a man of your own size , will you ? ''
cried XXXXX , delighted with a poke in the face from a tiny fist , flapping aimlessly about .
