Oh! what a gleesome time Nannie had all the long summer day up so near the blue heavens!
She carried a bunch of oleanders, and the pink and white egg basket swung from her arm.

"I would gladly sleep on bare boards for her," she said to her mother, "the brave girl to whom I have been so unjust. I'm glad she's coming. I'll devote all my extra time to her happiness."
