Betty’s Bright Idea; Deacon Pitkin’s Farm; and The First Christmas

CHAPTER III
7/7

We won't be down-hearted, will we?
Hark now to what the minstrels used to sing under my window when I was a little girl: "I saw three ships come sailing in On Christmas day, on Christmas day, I saw three ships come sailing in On Christmas day in the morning.
"And what was in those ships all three On Christmas day, on Christmas day, And what was in those ships all three On Christmas day in the morning?
"Our Saviour Christ and his laydie, On Christmas day, on Christmas day, Our Saviour Christ and his laydie On Christmas day in the morning.
"Pray, whither sailed those ships all three, On Christmas day, on Christmas day?
Oh, they sailed into Bethlehem, On Christmas day in the morning.
"And all the bells on earth shall ring On Christmas day, on Christmas day; And all the angels in heaven shall sing On Christmas day in the morning.
"Then let us all rejoice amain, On Christmas day, on Christmas day; Then let us all rejoice amain On Christmas day in the morning." "Now, isn't that a brave ballad ?" said Rose.

"Yea, and thou singest like a real English robin," said Margery, "to do the heart good to hear thee.".
