"Those will come in for his supper," she said.
Huldah took the parcel with a joy she did not attempt to conceal.
In her pleasure she lost her shyness.

"Oh, miss!" she exclaimed, "I wish you could be there to see Dick when he knows the bone is for him!" "I wish I could, but don't keep him waiting, poor doggie!" It was not until she put out her hand to take the parcel for Dick that Huldah remembered the basket which she had brought with her to sell, and which she had been holding all this time.

Now, though, when she did remember it, she could not bring herself to offer it for sale.

Indeed, she longed to give it to pretty, kind Miss Rose.
Miss Rose, though, settled the matter for her.

"What a sweetly pretty basket!" she exclaimed.
