But that evening, after the younger children were gone to bed, and Katy and Clover were sitting in the Blue-room, a lamentable howling was heard from the nursery. Clover ran to see what was the matter. Behold there was Phil, sitting up in bed, and crying for help. "There's robbers under the bed," he sobbed; "ever so many robbers."
"They get used to it," assured Mr. Perkins. But Cis got worse and worse. One day soon after this, Johnnie came upon Edwarda, face down on the blue-room floor, and in a harrowing state of dishevelment Edwarda, the costly, the precious, the not-to-be-touched!
