"Come on," said Morning Star, "let us go and kill those birds." As if they feared the light. "Lies! Oh, fie!" says Doatie. "Who tells lies? Nobody, except the naughty little boys in tracts, and they always break their legs off apple-trees, or else get drowned on a Sunday morning. Now, we are not drowned, and our legs are uninjured.

"This sliding," said the woman, "is very good fun." "All that is morbid," says Mona: "you should try to conquer it. It is not healthy." "I am not going to suffer," says Mona, lightly. "Sorrow only falls on every second generation; and you know poor mother was very unhappy at one time: therefore I am free. You will call that superstition, but," with a grave shake of her head, "it is quite true.".
