I am all fretty about it. Writing has lost its charm. I doubt if I shall ever do well enough to make it worth while to write at all.

"Do stop, you naughty, fretty baby. I'm tired of your screaming, and it's high time you went to sleep. Bless me! what's Miss Shadow doing with her baby?" said Polly.

I am the Tulip from Batavia's shore; The thrifty Fleming for my beauty rare Pays a king's ransom, when that I am fair, And tall, and straight, and pure my petal's core.

Before she had finished speaking Mr. Creddle was upon them, hastily dressed in night-shirt and trousers. "Now, what's all this?" he said, and his tone certainly did betray the effect of cheap vinegar on a weak digestion. So Mrs. Creddle explained matters while Caroline stood listening.
"It wouldn't be safe for me to express my opinion." Polly smiled. "It's a shame! And it isn't fair when she has curly hair that doesn't need any putting up.
