"I want to tell you," pursued Emily, who loved to talk to strangers. "She didn't care if I was blind; she used to shake me just the same. And my paw had fits." The other children, who had often heard this story, did not listen to it with great interest, but went on with their various plays, leaving Emily and Dotty standing together before Emily's baby-house.

"It's washing-day in the baby-house, Mamma. Mayn't we stay just a little while to clap and fold up?" "Clap and fold," exclaimed Mrs. Frisbie. "Where do you pick up such words, I wonder.
