She was very fond of the name Rose, the same being the name of the heroine in "Eight Cousins," which story Mrs.
Bailey, housekeeper before last for Marcellus Hall, had read aloud to the child.

When the new doll came, at Christmas time, Mary-'Gusta wished that she might christen it Rose also.

But there was another and much beloved Rose already in the family.

So Mary-'Gusta reflected and observed, and she observed that a big roll of tobacco such as her stepfather smoked was a cigar; while a little one, as smoked by Eben Keeler, the grocer's delivery clerk, was a cigarette.

Therefore, the big doll being already Rose, the little one became Rosette.
Mary-'Gusta was not playing with Rose and Rosette at the present time.
Neither was she interested in the peaceful slumbers of David.
