"I'm not a great big boy!" cried Peter, "I'm only a great big little boy!" "Don't waste time, sweet Pete; go to work!" I'M NOT A GREAT BIG BOY CRIED PETER I'M ONLY A GREAT BIG LITTLE BOY DON'T WASTE TIME SWEET PETE GO TO WORK
 "I am very busy darning your stockings, Peter." "I don't like to pick up, Muddy." "No, it isn't much fun, but it has to be done." Peter went over to the window and gazed at the landscape. "I dess I'll go play with Ellen," he remarked in honeyed tones. "That would be nice, after you clear away your toys and blocks." "I dess I'll play with Ellen first," suggested Peter, starting slowly towards the door. "No, we always work first and play afterwards!" said mother, going on darning. Peter felt caught in a net of irresistible and pitiless logic. "Come and help me, Muddy?" he coaxed, and as she looked up he suddenly let fly all his armory of weapons at once,--two dimples, tossing back of curls, parted lips, tiny white teeth, sweet voice. Mother Carey's impulse was to cast herself on the floor and request him simply to smile on her and she would do his lightest bidding, but controlling her secret desires she answered: "I would help if you needed me, but you don't. You're a great big boy now!
