Mildred and Beth were always present on these occasions, fighting to be allowed to hold the basin. Mrs. Ellis wanted to turn them out, but Mrs. Caldwell said: "Let them stay, poor little bodies; they like to be with me."

"At Sunday-school down on Muddy Lane. Mr Caldwell's Sunday-school." "Old Caldwell!" said Frank. "That's the way, is it? How do you like it, Davie?"
