Four Little Blossoms at Brookside Farm

Four Little Blossoms at Brookside Farm is by Mabel C. Hawley, author of Four Little Blossoms at Oak Hill School and Four Little Blossoms and Their Winter Fun, among others. The contents list names chapters including The Rescue of Philip, Aunt Polly, The Wreck of the Raft and Lost in the Woods, among others. Meg, with tears in her blue eyes, spreads out her dress on the couch so that the doctor can see the dog and says she thinks his leg is broken. Doctor Maynard says gently that the dog's leg is broken but that they can mend it, as he has splints right here.

Twaddles asks whether it hurts, and Doctor Maynard admits that it hurts the dog, but says animals are splendid patients and seldom complain. Aunt Polly says that when the children did not come home to supper she began to worry, and Linda greets them with You must be starved and says they have fried chicken and currant jelly, too. Jud says that pitchforks and Twaddles won't mix and asks Meg to show him where she hid the box.
