So he put away his letters , took the black pocket off Sanch 's neck , and allowed himself to whistle softly as he packed up his possessions , ready to move next day , with few regrets and many bright anticipations for the future . `` Thorny , I want you to be good to Ben , and amuse him in some quiet way this afternoon . I must stay and see the Morrises , who are coming over ; but you can go to the grove and have a pleasant time , '' said Miss Celia to her brother . `` Not much fun in talking to that horsey fellow . I 'm sorry for him , but I ca n't do anything to amuse him , '' objected Thorny , pulling himself up from the sofa with a great yawn . `` You can be very agreeable when you like ; and Ben has had enough of me for this time . To-morrow he will have his work , and do very well ; but we must try to help him through to-day , because he does n't know what to do with himself . Besides , it is just the time to make a good impression on him , while grief for his father softens him , and gives us a chance . I like him , and I 'm sure he wants to do well ; so it is our duty to help him , as there seems to be no one else . '' `` Here goes , then ! Where is he ? '' and Thorny stood up , won by his sister 's sweet earnestness , but very doubtful of his own success with the `` horsey fellow . '' `` Waiting with the chair . Randa has gone on with the hammock . Be a dear boy , and I 'll do as much for you some day . '' `` Do n't see how you can be a dear boy . You 're the best sister that ever was ; so I 'll love all the scallywags you ask me to . '' With a laugh and a kiss , Thorny shambled off to ascend his chariot , good-humoredly saluting his pusher , whom he found sitting on the high rail behind , with his feet on Sanch . `` Drive on , Benjamin . I do n't know the way , so I ca n't direct .
XXXXX n't spill me out , -- that 's all I 've got to say . ''
