"She's got spunk in her, ha'n't she, that little one ?" said the miller.

"She's a likely lookin' little gal, too.

The little proprietor looked on patiently.
When it was open, Miss Lizzie was not very easy to suit.

With great coolness she stood and piled up book after book on the uncovered portion of the box, till she had got at those she wanted.
