[Milly and Olly by Mrs. Humphry Ward]@TWC D-Link bookMilly and Olly CHAPTER II 21/21
It began to get darker and darker, and the trees hung down over the road, so that the children could hardly see.
On they went, and Olly was very nearly asleep again, when the carriage began to crunch over gravel, and then it stopped, and father called out--"Here we are, children, here we are at Ravensnest." And out they all jumped.
What were those bright lights shining? Olly and Milly hardly knew where they were going as nurse took them in, and one of Uncle Richard's servants showed them the way upstairs to the nursery. Such a nice nursery, with candles lit, and a little fire burning, two bowls of hot bread and milk on the table, and in the corner two little white beds, as soft and fresh as nests! In twenty minutes Olly was in one of these little white beds, and Milly in the other.
And you may guess whether they were long about going to sleep..
