Page 127 - The Little sister of Wilifred

Wilifred found the kitchen damp and
dismal, and a man whom she rightly

conjectured to be Mr. Bagley sitting
disconsolately in one corncr of it.

“ When the missis is in one of her
cleaning moods,” he had once said to

Peggy, iL wherever you sit, you are
always in the way. I always try to get

into the farthest corner, and I can’t get
far enough into it at that*1’

He looked up at Wilifred, and told

her to bring him his boots, for it was
time he should get the colt in from the

pasture.
In a field at the side of the house,

Wilifred had noticed a pretty little bay
horse. Even in her excitement, she

had stopped a moment to admire it, and
now, as Mr. Bagley seemed reluctant to

leave his corner, siie volunteered to go
for the colt herself.
