Joe, you get it." I would run gayly up the steps, and then would come Billy's turn.

"Billy, I have forgotten my keys.

Go get them." After a time we began to know the names of different articles, and where they were kept, and could get them ourselves.

On sweeping days we worked very hard, and enjoyed the fun.

If Mrs.Morris was too far away to call to Mary for what she wanted, she wrote the name on a piece of paper, and told us to take it to her.
Billy always took the letters from the postman, and carried the morning paper up to Mr.Morris's study, and I always put away the clean clothes.
After they were mended, Mrs.Morris folded each article and gave it to me, mentioning the name of the owner, so that I could lay it on his bed, There was no need for her to tell me the names.
