Mr. Martin paid for it, and then Ted and Jan enjoyed very much
looking at it, with Trouble in the seat between them. He insisted on
seeing each picture twice, the page being no sooner turned over than
he wanted it turned back again.
But at last even he was satisfied, and then Ted and Jan went back to
their first game of looking out of the window for Indians or other
sights that might interest them.
Trouble slipped out of his seat between his brother and sister and
went to a vacant window himself. For a time he had good fun playing
with the window catch, and Mrs. Martin let him do this, having made
sure, at first, that he could not open the sash. Then they all forgot
Trouble for a while and he played by himself, all alone in one of the
seats.
A little later, when Teddy and Janet were tired of looking for the
Indians which they never saw, they were talking about the good times
they had had with Nicknack, and wondering if Uncle Frank would have a
goat, or anything like it, when Trouble came toddling up to their
seat.
"What you got?" asked Teddy of his little brother, noticing that
Baby William was chewing something. "What you got, Trouble?"
"Tandy," he said, meaning candy, of course.
"Oh, where'd you get it?" chimed in Jan.
"Nice boy gived it to me," Trouble answered. "Here," and he held the
package out to his brother and sister.
"Oh, wasn't that good of him!" exclaimed Jan.
