Ruth

CHAPTER I
11/16

"What is the use of undressing?
We must be up again and at work in three hours." "And in those three hours you may get a great deal of rest, if you will but undress yourself and fairly go to bed.

Come, love." Jenny's advice was not resisted; but before Ruth went to sleep, she said: "Oh! I wish I was not so cross and impatient.

I don't think I used to be." "No, I am sure not.

Poor child! she's asleep already," said Jenny to herself.
She could not sleep or rest.
