In the mean time, Henry still sat with his feet in the cold water.

But the pain occasioned by the snow was nearly all gone.

Mrs.
Sharp came down with the stockings, and Anna came in with the shoes at the same moment.

On lifting the child's feet from the water, the redness and inflammation had a good deal subsided.

Mrs.Sharp rubbed them with a little sweet oil, and then gave him the stockings to put on.
