He and Mr.
Travilla are going to take you, and Lucy, and Mary, and me, riding on horseback this afternoon.

Don't you think it will be pleasant ?" "Oh, it will be _grand_!" exclaimed Carry.

"Elsie, I think now that your papa is very kind; and do you know I like him very much, indeed; quite as well as I do Mr.Travilla, and I always liked _him_--he's so pleasant, and so funny, too, sometimes.

But I must go and show my bracelet to Lucy.
Hark! no, there's the bell, and I'll just leave it here until after breakfast." Elsie opened a drawer and laid it carefully in, and they ran off to the nursery.
"Elsie," said her father, when they had finished the morning lessons, "there is to be a children's party to-night, at Mr.Carleton's, and I have an invitation for you.

Would you like to go ?" "Do you wish me to go, papa ?" she asked.
"Not unless _you_ wish to do so, daughter," he said kindly.
