La! you aren't going to get up yet ?" But Elizabeth was already at the south window and had it open.
Early it was; the sun not more than half an hour high, and taking his work coolly, like one who meant to do a great deal before the day was ended.

A faint dewy sparkle on the grass and the sweetbriars; the song sparrows giving good-morrow to each other and tuning their throats for the day; and a few wood thrushes now and then telling of their shyer and rarer neighbourhood.

The river was asleep, it seemed, it lay so still.
"Lizzie! -- you ought to be in bed yet these two hours -- I shall tell Mr.Haye, if you don't take care of yourself." "Have the goodness to go to sleep, and let me and Mr.Haye take care of each other," said the girl dryly.
Her cousin looked at her a minute, and then turning her eyes from the light, obeyed her first request and went fast asleep.
A little while after the door opened and Elizabeth stood in the kitchen.

It was already in beautiful order.

She could sec the big dresser now, but the tin and crockery and almost the wooden shelves shone, they were so clean.
