Milly and Olly

CHAPTER IX
19/25

We must get some water at the stream." So on he went, with the pale frightened mother, while the others followed.

Aunt Emma had got Tiza and Milly by the hand, and was trying to comfort them.
"We hope she is not much hurt, darlings; the wheel did not go over her, thank God.

It was just upon her when her father backed the horse.

But it must have crushed her I'm afraid, and there was something hanging under the cart which gave her that knock on the temple.

Look, there is one of the men starting off for the doctor." Whereupon Tiza, who had kept quiet till then, burst into a loud fit of crying, and threw herself down on the grass.
"Nurse," called Aunt Emma, "stay here with these two poor little ones while I go and see if I can be of any use." So nurse came and sat beside them, and Milly crept up to her for comfort.
