"So there are, Alsie, and I will try to take courage in that thought, for surely God wouldn't take another loved one away from us so soon so soon." The last two words were spoken pensively and as though she was unconscious of the presence of the child. Little Alsie's face became white. "O, Auntee, you don't mean that dear grandfather" her voice faltered and she finished in a whisper "is worse?"
"I just couldn't wait to show you how well I look in them!" exclaimed Alsie as she jumped into bed with Alice, and almost smothered her with hugs and kisses. "You can always think of the prettiest things for me, dear Auntee, and I do love pink so dearly," she continued with an affectionate glance at the pretty slippers, adorned with the daintiest of ribbon rosettes.
"O, Auntee," cried Alsie in astonishment, "do tell us what it is!" For answer Alice set the box on the bed, untied the string, and lifted off the top. A dainty and beautiful silken comfort was disclosed to the view of the admiring group. The background was of white, and scattered over it were clusters of the most exquisitely colored pink roses and green leaves.
So Alsie was cautiously sent out to get her cousin Emily, the oldest granddaughter in the family, a quiet young girl of fourteen, who was exceedingly fond of reading. "For goodness sake, let's get the books all in the pie before Emily gets here, Auntee, for she will want to read a little out of each one to see what it is like, and we'll get no help from her," exclaimed Alsie.
