It is hard enough for the preachers to settle some things for us and themselves, so how do you suppose a baby like you is going to get the gist of it?" "If you were my grandma what would you do?" asked Marian coming to the point. "I'd give you interesting story-books to read, and see that you had healthy-minded playfellows.
Burglars, indeed, we may have had some haunting thoughts of; and we had certainly an eye to past ages when lanterns were more common, and to certain story-books in which we had found them to figure very largely. But take it for all in all, the pleasure of the thing was substantive; and to be a boy with a bull's-eye under his top-coat was good enough for us.
"Now, Mammy, you mean me! Well, I will begin; and I'll be so good, folks won't know me. Being sick makes naughty children behave in story-books, I'll see if live ones can't;" and Jill put on such a sanctified face that the girls laughed and asked for their missions also, thinking they would be the same.
"Nearly all the lions in the story-books are good lions. There was Androcles' lion, and St. Jerome's lion, and and the Lion and the Unicorn " "He beat the Unicorn," observed Harold, dubiously, "all round the town." "That PROVES he was a good lion," cried Edwards triumphantly. "But the question is, how are you to tell 'em when you see 'em?" "I should ask Martha," said Harold of the simple creed.
"I don't want him to," said Marjorie. "Mother, I was in fun and you are making serious," cried Linnet with a distressed face. "Not making it dreadful, only serious," smiled her mother. "I don't see why the letter has to be about your husband," argued Marjorie, "lots of things will happen to us first" "But that is exciting," said Linnet, "and it is the most of things in story-books."
"It is so interesting," said Eyebright. "Weren't you a bit afraid when you saw him? Did he have a pistol?" "Pistol? No. Ah, you are thinking of the thieves in story-books, I see, terrible villains with masks and blunderbusses.
Having read so much in story-books and novels, from my earliest childhood, at one time in the gilt-covered publication of E. Newbury, St. Universal decorum characterized the whole proceedings till the day was over, after which there was a large amount of dancing and frolicking and sight-seeing and beer-drinking, but no drunkenness and no quarrelling.
"And what's your name?" I ventured. "Mine? Oh, mine's Henrietta Manners; only," she added hastily "only that's my real name. I was born with it. Now most of the girls got theirs out of story-books. Georgiana Trevelyan and Goldy Courtleigh and Gladys Carringford and Angelina Lancaster and Phoebe Arlington them girls all got theirs out of stories. But mine's my own.
"And Queenie," continued her aunt, earnestly, "you must take great care of your papa make him rest, and listen to your music, and read story-books instead of going back to his work all the evening." "To be sure I shall, Aunt Mary, as much as I possibly can." "But Bee," said Fred, "you don't mean that you are going to be shut up with that horrid Lady Susan all this time?
Besides, as you observed, everybody does not go to story-books for views of human nature, and happily, also, homeless children are commoner in books than out of them, so I don't think the damage can be very extensive. 'One such case is quite enough! Indeed, it is a great lesson to think whether what one writes can give any wrong notion. 'I believe one always does begin with imitation.
