Gritli’s Children

CHAPTER II
3/19

The other two have in them specimens of beetles and snails and other things of the same kinds as those I expect to find near the Rhine, but, of course, they are somewhat different, and I want to carry these to compare with those, don't you see, aunty?
Perhaps if we squeeze the boxes with all our might we can get them in, except those that have the live creatures." "No, Fred, it can't be done," said his aunt, kindly.

"Take them back into your room; and you needn't be in the least anxious.

I'll take care of the live ones while you are gone, and, as to the others, when you want to compare any of them with what you find, write to me about it, and I will send you as good a description as I can make." Meantime, Mrs.Stein had been gazing in despair at the two huge, misshapen packages which Emma had placed upon the table to be put into her hand-bag.
"What have you in that big roll?
It is too large to go even into the trunk! What are you thinking about ?" she cried.
"Oh, mamma, can't they be tied on the outside of the bag?
I could carry them all together myself.

I do want to take them with me so much.

In the roll are ever so many drawing-copies, such as we had at school, and some that were given us on the Christmas-tree.
