As I write these words, the bell of the South Congregational strikes dong, dong, dong; dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong. Nobody has unlocked the church-door. The old tin sign, "In case of fire, the key will be found at the opposite house," has long since been taken down, and made into the nose of a water-pot. Yet there is no Goody Two-Shoes locked in. No! But, thanks to Dr.
It was about seven o'clock in the morning when we set out on this important business, and the first house we came to was Farmer Wilson's. Here Margery stopped, and ran up to the door, tap, tap, tap. "Who's there?" "Only Little Goody Two-Shoes," answered Margery, "come to teach Billy." "Oh! Little Goody," says Mrs.
Caxton, a book which is in Latin what Goody Two-Shoes is in the vernacular!" "Fie! Austin I I am sure you can construe Phaedrus, dear!" Pisistratus prudently preserves silence. MR. CAXTON. "I'll try him "'Sua cuique quum sit animi cogitatio Colurque proprius. "What does that mean?" "His own novel," interrupted my father. "Contentus peragis!"
It happened one day, when Mrs. Two-Shoes was diverting the children after dinner, as she usually did, with some innocent games, or entertaining and instructive stories, that a man arrived with the melancholy news of Sally Jones's father being thrown from his horse, and thought past all recovery; nay, the messenger said, that he was seemingly dying when he came away.
Poor Sally was greatly distressed, as indeed were all in the school, for she dearly loved her father, and Mrs. Two-Shoes and all her children dearly loved her. At this instant something was heard to flap at the window, at which the children were surprised; but Mrs. Margery, knowing what it was, opened the casement, and drew in a pigeon with a letter.

After this, Little Two-Shoes taught her to spell words of one syllable, and she soon set up pear, plumb, top, ball, pin, puss, dog, hog, fawn, buck, doe, lamb, sheep, ram, cow, bull, cock, hen, and many more. The next place we came to was Gaffer Cook's cottage.
Two days before the wedding we were gathered, a large and merry party, in the drawing-room after dinner. Philip had come down that afternoon, but in spite of his pleasure at being with us again, I fancied he was ill at ease, and wondered at the cause. 'Now, Goody Two-Shoes, Kenneth cried, when music was going on, 'give us something extra nice from your fiddle.
"Thank you," I said; "I shouldn't care to feel that size. Earth is big enough for me at present," and I walked out. A burst of laughter from behind announced that the gentlemen had entered the room. Kenneth came up to us, and planted himself on the hearthrug in front of us. 'Are you treating Goody Two-Shoes to one of your stories? he asked.
Two-shoes, who can only borrow ten pounds of them; but Grace was a poor simple West-country girl; and as such we must excuse her, if, curtseying to the very ground, with tears of gratitude in her eyes, she took the ten-pound note, saying to herself, "Thank the Good Lord! This will just pay mother's account at the mill."
