Then she cut curious-looking holes in the folded piece with a sharp pair of scissors. When the paper was unfolded once more a truly beautiful pattern appeared."Oh, how lubby!" screamed Flossie. "Make me one, Nan!""And me, too," put in Freddie. "I want a real red one," and he brought forth a bit of red pin-wheel paper he had been saving."Oh, Freddie, let me have the red paper for my stairs," cried Bert, who had had his eyes on the sheet for some time."No, I want a table cover, like Nanny. You take the white paper.""Whoever saw white paper on a stairs-I mean white carpet," said Flossie."I'll give you a marble for the paper, Freddie," continued Bert.But Freddie shook his head. "Want a table cover, nice as Aunt Em'ly," he answered. "Going to set a flower on the table too!" he added, and ran out of the room. When he came back he had a flower-pot in his hand half the size of his house, with a duster feather stuck in the dirt, for a flower."Well, I declare!" cried Nan, and burst out laughing. "Oh, Freddie, how will we ever set that on such a little pasteboard table?""Can set it there!" declared the little fellow, and before Nan could stop him the flower-pot went up and the pasteboard table came down and was mashed flat."Hullo! Freddie's breaking up housekeeping!" cried Bert."Oh, Freddie! do take the flower-pot away!" came from Flossie. "It's too big to go into the house."Freddie looked perplexed for a moment. "Going to play garden around the house. This is a-a lilac tree!" And he set the flower-pot down close to Bert's elbow. Bert was now busy trying to put a pasteboard chimney on his house, and did not notice. A moment later Bert's elbow hit the flower-pot and down it went on the floor, breaking into several pieces and scattering the dirt over the rug."Oh, Bert! what have you done?" cried Nan, in alarm. "Get the broom and the dust-pan, before Dinah comes.""It was Freddie's fault.""Oh, my lilac tree is all gone!" cried the little boy. "And the boiler to my fire engine, too," he added, referring to the flower-pot, which he had used the day before when playing fireman.At that moment, Dinah, the cook, came in from the kitchen."Well, I declar' to gracious!" she exclaimed. "If yo' chillun ain't gone an' mussed up de floah ag'in!"
