A girl of nineteen months was made to go without food for a day because she had been sick in the morning, and, according to nurse, had made herself ill through eating strawberries. During the night, after her day of fasting, she was heard calling out her name during sleep, and adding: "Tawberry, eggs, pap."
"Because we'd like to be near you," we both said, pressing close to her. "You're like mother." The tears came into Miss Goldy-hair's eyes they really did but she smiled too. "And what do you say, my little man?" she said to Racey. Racey was still reposing most comfortably in his big chair. "I'll stay here," he said, "if Audrey and Tom can stay too. And I'd like 'tawberry jam for tea."
If we'd been poor like the ones in Little Meg's Children, or Froggy's Brother Ben, Miss Goldy-hair would have been here ever so early this morning, with blankets and coals, and milk, and bread and sugar " "And 'tawberry dam and delly and 'ponge cakes and olanges and eberysing," interrupted Racey, coming forward from his corner.
"No 'tawberry dam," said Racey, and the corners of his mouth went down as if he were going to cry. He had been thinking of the strawberry jam, I dare say, as a sort of make up for the dry rice pudding at dinner quite dry and hard it was, not milky at all, and Mrs. Partridge knew we liked milky puddings. "Don't be so sure of that," said Sarah, who was taking away the things.
