I wish, said Phronsie slowly, that you'd come in, little girl. Can't. The girl at the gate peered through the iron railings, pressing her nose quite flat, to give the sharp, restless, black eyes the best chance. Please do, begged Phronsie, coming up quite close; I very much wish you would. Can't, repeated the girl on the outside. Cop won't let me. Who? asked Phronsie, much puzzled and beginning to look frightened. Perlice. The girl nodded briefly, taking her face away from the iron railings enough to accomplish that ceremony. Then she plastered her nose up against its support again, and stared at Phronsie with all her might. Oh, said Phronsie, with a little laugh that chased away her fright, there isn't any big policeman here. This is Grandpapa's garden. 'Tain't, it's the perliceman's; everything's the perliceman's, contradicted the girl, snapping one set of grimy fingers defiantly. Oh, no, said Phronsie, softly but very decidedly, this is my dear Grandpapa's home, and the big policeman can't get in here, ever. Oh, you ninny! The girl staring at her through the railings stopped a minute to laugh, covering both hands over her mouth to smother the sound. The perlice can go everywheres they want to. I guess some of 'em's in heaven now, spyin' round.
