No one said a word about the scene of the morning , but its effect was all the more lasting for that reason , perhaps . Nat tried his very best , and found much help , not only from the earnest little prayers he prayed to his Friend in heaven , but also in the patient care of the earthly friend whose kind hand he never touched without remembering that it had willingly borne pain for his sake . CHAPTER V. PATTYPANS `` What 's the matter , Daisy ? '' `` The boys wo n't let me play with them . '' `` Why not ? '' `` They say girls ca n't play football . '' `` They can , for I 've done it ! '' and Mrs. Bhaer laughed at the remembrance of certain youthful frolics . `` I know I can play ; Demi and I used to , and have nice times , but he wo n't let me now because the other boys laugh at him , '' and Daisy looked deeply grieved at her brother 's hardness of heart . `` On the whole , I think he is right , deary . It 's all very well when you two are alone , but it is too rough a game for you with a dozen boys ; so I 'd find some nice little play for myself . '' `` I 'm tired of playing alone ! '' and Daisy 's tone was very mournful . `` I 'll play with you by and by , but just now I must fly about and get things ready for a trip into town . You shall go with me and see mamma , and if you like you can stay with her . '' `` I should like to go and see her and Baby Josy , but I 'd rather come back , please . Demi would miss me , and I love to be here , Aunty . '' `` You ca n't get on without your Demi , can you ? '' and Aunt Jo looked as if she quite understood the love of the little girl for her only brother . '' ` Course I ca n't ; we 're twins , and so we love each other more than other people , '' answered Daisy , with a brightening face , for she considered being a twin one of the highest honors she could ever receive .
`` Now , what will you do with your little self while I XXXXX around ? ''
