Goodriche, and two persons understood to belong to that reverend gentleman's communion. The party were shut up in an apartment with the infant, and it may be presumed that the solemnity of baptism was administered to the unconscious being, thus strangely launched upon the world. When the priest and witnesses had retired, the strange gentleman informed Mr.
"La!" cried Miss Bessy again, really not knowing that she was saying the word. Mrs. Goodriche went up for her work, and when she returned, as she might have expected, her bird was flown; and when she looked for her, she saw her amongst some gooseberry bushes, feeding herself as fast as she could.
Fairchild had a carriage which would hold two grown-up persons and three little ones, and that mine could do as much if needful; proving that we had even one seat to spare so come, you must all go. Mrs. Goodriche and my mother shall have the back seat of my carriage, and I shall make interest for Miss Lucy to sit by me in the front seat." All the children present looked anxiously to hear Mr.
Goodriche; "to-morrow evening, by which time I shall have settled things at home, and provided a person to be with Sukey." After an early dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Fairchild went home. The next morning Mrs. Fairchild had some conversation with her little girls.
"When am I to see the pieces of work?" said Mrs. Goodriche on the Saturday morning. "Before tea, ma'am," replied Lucy; "Emily and I are ready, but we don't know whether Bessy is we can wait if she is not." "Oh, I am ready," answered Bessy; "my silk is done." The tea-things were on the table when Emily came in first with an open basket whatever was in it was hidden by a piece of white paper.
Goodriche, "that no great change for the better had yet passed on these rude children. "But they had got a notion that, as Jacky said, there were presents in the wind, and they set out for Mrs.
Fairchild's answer, and glad were they when they heard him say, "At what hour should we be ready?" "At four I shall hope to call for Mrs. Goodriche and Miss Lucy," said Mr. Somers. "I have a poor woman to call on by the way, if this lady does not object. We may therefore set out about half an hour before you. So now, good-bye;" and he walked away. Goodriche and Miss Lucy."
Goodriche, almost at the end of her patience; "we will read no more to-day; go up and fetch that unfortunate bombazine frock, it must be darned; you have no other here, or indeed made, but that you have on." Away ran Bessy, glad to be moving; and when Mrs.
Her mother's look seemed to say, "You ought to pity and not to laugh at one who has not been so well taught as yourself;" and she instantly looked down, and seemed to give her whole thoughts to her work. "Bessy," said Mrs. Goodriche, "you had best pass the book to Lucy; I am sure that you will try to improve yourself against the next time you are asked to read aloud in company."
These, too, were put aside; and next came a larger parcel, tied up in a paper with care, and the name of "Lucy, from Mrs. Goodriche," written upon it. It was handed to Lucy; she did not expect it, and her hands quite shook while she untied the string. It contained a beautiful doll, the size of Emily's famous doll; and I could not say which of the two little sisters was most delighted.
