Queen Bess raised her head and looked at Mary Bell with a momentary feeling of astonishment, wondering how she came there, and then put down her head again and resumed her feeding.
"Now," said Mary Bell, "I shall certainly get home again, for I shall stay with you until Thomas comes up after the cows.

He will find you by your bell.

And now I am going to put these oranges down upon the grass, and milk some milk into this pail." So Mary Bell put the oranges in a safe place upon the grass, and then went cautiously up to the side of the cow, and attempted to milk her.

But it is very difficult to milk a cow while she is grazing in a pasture.

She is not inclined to stand still, but advances all the time, slowly, step by step, making it very difficult to do any thing at milking.
