I can do that the quickest, you know.

It's so stupid to give a thing when everything about it is forgotten, isn't it ?' 'Very stupid,' said Linda, nearly asleep.
'And when it's worn out I can make another, can't I ?' 'H'm'm'm,' said Linda, quite asleep.
And then Katie went asleep also, in her sister's arms.
Early in the morning--that is to say, not very early, perhaps between seven and eight--Mrs.Woodward came into their room, and having inspected her charges, desired that Katie should not get up for morning church, but lie in bed till the middle of the day.
'Oh, mamma, it will be so stupid not going to church after tumbling into the river; people will say that all my clothes are wet.' 'People will about tell the truth as to some of them,' said Mrs.
Woodward; 'but don't you mind about people, but lie still and go to sleep if you can.

Linda, do you come and dress in my room.' 'And is Charley to lie in bed too ?' said Katie.

'He was in the river longer than I was.' 'It's too late to keep Charley in bed,' said Linda, 'for I see him coming along the road now with a towel; he's been bathing.' 'Oh, I do so wish I could go and bathe,' said Katie.
Poor Katie was kept in bed till the afternoon.

Charley and Harry, however, were allowed to come up to her bedroom door, and hear her pronounce herself quite well.
'How d'ye do, Mr.Macassar ?' said she.
'And how d'ye do, my Lady Crinoline ?' said Harry.
