I don't think I can stand it if she does.
"Try to win her love, Rosie, and then you may be able to influence her strongly for good." "I don't know how to begin, mamma." "Force your thoughts to dwell on the good points in her character, and think compassionately of the respects in which she is less fortunate than yourself, and you will soon find a feeling of love toward her springing up in your heart; and love begets love.

Do her some kindness, daughter, and that will help you to love her and to gain her love." "Well, mamma, I shall try if only to please you.

But do tell me, did grandpa punish you very severely when you were naughty ?" "His punishment was seldom anything more severe than the gentle rebuke, 'I am not pleased with you,' but I think I felt it more than many a child would a whipping; I did so dearly love my father that his displeasure was terrible to me." "Yes, I know you and he love each other dearly yet, and he often says you were a very good, conscientious little girl." "But to return to Lulu," said Mrs.Travilla, "I had thought she would be a nice companion for you, and until this evening I have not seen her show any naughty temper since the first week she was here." "No, mamma, she has been quite well-behaved, I believe, and perhaps she will prove a pleasant companion.

I am sorry for her, too, because she hasn't a dear, wise, kind mother like mine," Rosie added, putting her arms about her mother's neck, "and because the father, I am sure she loves very much, must soon go away and leave her.".
