she forgot Cy ; but Burney did n't , and sent him to climb in at the window , and undo the door . Feeling hurt that the young ladies had n't asked him to the feast , Cy hardened his heart against them , and delivered them up to the enemy , regardless of Poppy 's threats and Nelly 's prayers . `` Poppy proposed it , she broke the jar , and I did n't eat much . O Burney ! do n't hurt her , please , but let me ` splain it to mamma when she comes , '' sobbed Nelly , as Burney seized Poppy , and gave her a good shaking . `` You go wash your face , Miss Nelly , and leave this naughty , naughty child to me , '' said Burney ; and took Poppy , kicking and screaming , into the little library , where she -- oh , dreadful to relate ! -- gave her a good spanking , and locked her up . Mamma never whipped , and Poppy was in a great rage at such an indignity . The minute she was left alone , she looked about to see how she could be revenged . A solar lamp stood on the table ; and Poppy coolly tipped it over , with a fine smash , calling out to Burney that she 'd have to pay for it , that mamma would be very angry , and that she , Poppy , was going to spoil every thing in the room . But Burney was gone , and no one came near her . She kicked the paint off the door , rattled the latch , called Burney a `` pig , '' and Cy `` a badder boy than the man who smothered the little princes in the Tower . '' Poppy was very fond of that story , and often played it with Nelly and the dolls . Having relieved her feelings in this way , Poppy rested , and then set about amusing herself . Observing that the spilt oil made the table shine , she took her handkerchief and polished up the furniture , as she had seen the maids do . `` Now , that looks nice ; and I know mamma will be pleased 'cause I 'm so tidy , '' she said , surveying her work with pride , when she had thoroughly greased every table , chair , picture-frame , book-back , and ornament in the room . Plenty of oil still remained ; and Poppy finished off by oiling her hair , till it shone finely , and smelt -- dear me , how it did smell ! If she had been a young whale , it could n't have been worse . Poppy was n't particular about smells ; but she got some in her mouth , and did n't like the taste . There was no water to wash in ; and her hands , face , and pinafore were in a high state of grease .
She was rather lonely too ; for , though mamma had XXXXX home , she did n't come to let Poppy out : so the young rebel thought it was about time to surrender .
