Page 25 - The Little sister of Wilifred

The Doctor bought a fine old place
in, or rather near, his native town. It

was a pleasant college town, which may

be called Bridgemont.

11 We shall be able to ’predate a home
after knocking about so long,” Wili­

fred remarked when her father told her

of this arrangement “ W on’t it be nice
and queer to stay all the time in one

climate, and not have Estelle always

packing or unpacking our things ? I'm

so glad it ’s a country place. Is it the
really, truly country, papa, where there

are fields with cows in ’em, and nicc old

barns and haystacks, and lots of chick­

ens and pigs and horses and dogs and
things?"

“ Yes, it ’s the genuine country, al­

though I might not have described it in
such a poetical style, my dear,” answered

the Doctor, pulling one of Wilifred’s

curls.
