I guess people call you a funny little monkey, don't they?" "No'm, they don't," replied Prudy, drawing away a little, "they think I'm as cunning as I can be." "O, my! I know a little girl that thinks pretty well of herself. Ah, here comes Dedy Roberts; does my little love know Dedy?" "Yes'm, I went to see her once; she lives in a dreadful ragged house!"
"Well, you two little lammies can sit right down here and pick flowers, and if you find a strawberry I'll give you a cent." "As if we was babies," thought the little girls, for they were wise enough to know that strawberries were gone long ago. "I don't like her," said Prudy to Dedy, when Ruth had turned away; "she calls me names all the whole time. I guess she don't know my name is Prudy."
"I wouldn't let her," said Dedy. "What did she call you?" "O, monkeys, and lammies, and pinkies, and things. Don't you s'pose she's 'most an April fool?" After watching Prudy to the child's vexation for about two hours, Ruth forgot all about her, and it so happened that the little thing strayed off with Horace and his friend Gilbert, whom he called "Grasshopper," to a little clearing in the wood.
