Come, Fly, and have your turkey-wash.
'Twill make you feel a great deal better." After a nice bath, at which Prudy and Dotty presided, the little one was dressed in her nightie, and set on her brother's knee again.
"Prudy said I'd feel better to be baved," said she, looking thoughtfully at the gas-light; "but now I was baved, and I don't feel any diffunt; I feel just's I did by-fore." "When can she have taken such a cold ?" said Horace; "don't you see, Prue, she can't breathe out of her nose ?" Then Fly remembered the orange-man, and something made her face grow red in a minute; but it was not the white tea.

O, dear, I'm so sick, I guess I will go up to God." The housekeeper was listening from the next room.
"That child's voice is growing hoarse.

I must go and look into this business," thought she.
She knocked at the children's door.
"I came to ask if I can do anything for you, young ladies." Mrs.Fixfax had heard a great deal of the play, and had been in a state of amusement all day, without seeing the actors; and when she caught sight of them now, she had to twist her mouth very hard, "to keep her teeth in." The magnificent Lady Magnifico, the ridiculous Dr.Moonshine, and the becapped Mother Hubbard, all replied in chorus, "O, yes'm, we were going to ring for you.
