I was going up to wake you as soon as I had done my dishes.

And did you sleep well your first night at Hartley's Glen ?" "Oh, yes! I slept very sound indeed," said Hilda, lightly.

And then, coming close up to Dame Hartley, she said in an altered tone, and with heightened color: "Nurse Lucy, I did not behave well last night, and I want to tell you that I am sorry.

I am not like mamma, but I want to grow a little like her, if I can, and you must help me, please!" Her voice faltered, and good Nurse Lucy, laying down her mop, took the slender figure in her motherly arms, from which it did not now shrink away.
"My lamb!" she said; "Miss Mildred's own dear child! You look liker your blessed mother this minute than I ever thought you would.

Help you?
That I will, with all my heart!--though I doubt if you need much help, coming to yourself so soon as this.
