Have you never noticed that Lina, the chambermaid, wears a hat when she goes out, and a red and yellow shawl, just like Mrs.Bickel?
And what red cheeks the cook has! She has enough to eat, I'm sure; and the coachman wears gloves when he drives." "Yes, I know; but I mean--well, you see we have a great deal of time to ourselves, and can run round in the garden and amuse ourselves, and I can't help thinking that I might be doing something useful.

I might knit some stockings for the children at home if I had some yarn, but I don't like to ask for any; I have so many things." "Why, of course you can't ask for it, Elsli; what are you thinking of?

Only last week a big bundle went off; don't you remember, Elsli ?" "Yes, I know all that; but what I mean is that I want to do something myself, and not go on taking my own comfort and enjoyment when so many other people are suffering." "But you know the doctor said you _must_ take comfort; and he told Mrs.
Stanhope not to let you sit at your books and study all the time, but to keep you a great deal in the open air.

Come!" and Fani took hold of his sister's hand and began to run.
