Buena Moza.
As soon as Peter had left her Linda took her box of candy flowers and several of her finest roses and went to Katy's room.

She found Katy in a big rocking chair, her feet on a hassock, reading a story in Everybody's home.

When her door opened and she saw her young mistress framed in it she tossed the magazine aside and sprang to her feet, but Linda made her resume her seat.

The girl shortened the stems of the roses and put them in a vase on Katy's dresser.
"They may clash with your coloring a mite, Mother Machree," she said, "but by themselves they are very wonderful things, aren't they ?" Linda went over, and drawing her dress aside, sat down on the hassock and leaning against Katy's knee she held up the box of candy flowers for amazed and delighted inspection.
"Ah, the foine gintleman!" cried Katy.
