    Dollie's excitement and happiness were at fever heat. I'll promise you anything! Oh, I didn't mean that, hardly. Excuse me, and she fanned herself furiously. She was glad the young man could not see in the darkness how red her face was. He laughed aloud and leaning forward, in low tones, said: I'll remember that, too. But I was only going to ask if we might exchange some trifling birthday remembrances ? I shall be very glad to agree to that. Dear me! Just see! I'll have to wait a whole year, and the fan went faster than ever. You won't have to wait that long, observed the Doctor. Christmas comes about half way, you know. Oh, yes; and I'll tell you what I would like, facing him eagerly. That our little gifts should be something made with our own hands. That's a delightful suggestion. I'll gladly agree to that. Then, laughing, I'm not much of a hand with tools or needles. Guess I'll have to make a canoe, eh? How jolly that would be! But you must make one that won't upset, with a merry laugh. That will be hard to do. But I'll try. Folks don't upset when they sit right still.
