This was not the first time her little friend had referred to her own superior wealth. "Dear, dear! Wasn't it bad enough to have to wear Prudy's old clothes, when Jennie had new ones and no big sister? She's always telling hints about people's being poor! Why, my papa isn't much poor, only he don't buy me gold rings and silk dresses, and my mamma wouldn't let me wear 'em if he did; so there!"
She made a place beside herself for Dotty, who folded her small hands and sat as still as a marble cherub; but what odd thing she might take it into her busy brain to do, no one could tell. When Prudy's turn came she repeated her verse: "Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: keep the door of my lips." "An excellent text," said Miss Carlisle.
I'm going to steal a piece of our cake!" So it seemed that Annie had eaten it all. Susy ran back to Prudy's sitting-room, where her little guests were seated, and said, trying not to laugh, "Please, ma'am, I just made some eel-jumbles and things, and a dog came in and stole them." "Very well, Betsey," said Mrs. Piper, serenely; "make some more." "Yes, make some more," echoed Mr.
"Yes, sir; shut it right up tight." "Nobody in it, at all?" "No, only the men and women. Prudy's gone, and Dotty Dimple's gone, and I'm gone." "Only the men and women, she says. That must be the servants. So the house must be open, pa. At any rate, I shall take her. Say by-bye, my pretty, and we'll be starting."
