Her childish companions had not been numerous enough to justify her in drawing such close lines; and she liked the sweet, half timid faces that always looked so earnestly into her own. “Surely, I’ll play with you. I’ll come to see you some time when Mrs. Bennett says I may.” “They’d look purtier, Glory, ef you’d put more colors in,” commented Mrs. Wopp. She thought he should be in a warmer room, but he begged so hard to stay that she yielded.
