[Dick and Brownie by Mabel Quiller-Couch]@TWC D-Link bookDick and Brownie CHAPTER V 7/19
I haven't got any money, and you mustn't give me such a lot--" "Huldah, dear," said Miss Rose, softly, laying a gentle hand on the little girl's shaking shoulders, "You have what is better than money. You have a kind, willing heart, and a wise little head, and these are of more value than money, for no money can buy them, but you have given them both to us all this time, asking no return.
And you know, dear, brownies are always repaid in this way.
You can soon pay for these things, by taking care of Mrs.Perry, doing all you can to help her, and making her happy and comfortable.
Then, with your basket-making you will be able to earn enough to clothe yourself in the future, and perhaps help others as well.
So don't cry, child, but turn round and smile, and let us see how nice you look in one of your new frocks." Huldah swung round eagerly, her cheeks flushed, her eyes sparkling with happiness.
