He was , and worked away more happily and bravely for the thought of the little friend whose eyes would daily fall on the white flower which always reminded him of her . Chapter XIX . Good Templars `` Hi there ! Bell 's rung ! Get up , lazy-bones ! '' called Frank from his room as the clock struck six one bright morning , and a great creaking and stamping proclaimed that he was astir . `` All right , I 'm coming , '' responded a drowsy voice , and Jack turned over as if to obey ; but there the effort ended , and he was off again , for growing lads are hard to rouse , as many a mother knows to her sorrow . Frank made a beginning on his own toilet , and then took a look at his brother , for the stillness was suspicious . `` I thought so ! He told me to wake him , and I guess this will do it ; '' and , filling his great sponge with water , Frank stalked into the next room and stood over the unconscious victim like a stern executioner , glad to unite business with pleasure in this agreeable manner . A woman would have relented and tried some milder means , for when his broad shoulders and stout limbs were hidden , Jack looked very young and innocent in his sleep . Even Frank paused a moment to look at the round , rosy face , the curly eyelashes , half-open mouth , and the peaceful expression of a dreaming baby . `` I must do it , or he wo n't be ready for breakfast , '' said the Spartan brother , and down came the sponge , cold , wet , and choky , as it was briskly rubbed to and fro regardless of every obstacle . `` Come , I say ! That 's not fair ! Leave me alone ! '' sputtered Jack , hitting out so vigorously that the sponge flew across the room , and Frank fell back to laugh at the indignant sufferer . `` I promised to wake you , and you believe in keeping promises , so I 'm doing my best to get you up . '' `` Well , you need n't pour a quart of water down a fellow 's neck , and rub his nose off , need you ? I 'm awake , so take your old sponge and go along , '' growled Jack , with one eye open and a mighty gape .
`` See that you keep so , then , or I 'll come and give you another sort of a rouser , '' XXXXX Frank , retiring well-pleased with his success .
