LITTLE SISTER OF WILIFRED.

C H A P T E R i.

TH E TWIN BABIES,

IL IF R E D was a sprite of a girl,

so blithe and fresh and whole­

some, so capricious and playful, that she
reminded one of nothing so much as a

frolicsome little wave sparkling under

the sun of a breezy summer afternoon.
She was remarkably pretty, with a tan­

gle of red gold hair, and eyes that when

she was a good, meek child were a soft
and beautiful hazel, but on occasions

when her rather peppery temper got the

better of her became quite black.
