The kindly doctor was entertaining his brother-in-law, and all the
family were sitting round the table in state. The polished silver
and shining glass, with porcelain, flowers, and fruit, seemed to be
all that had been provided for the dinner. The usual "grace" had
hardly been said, when a trim maid announced that a little girl was
at the door, who must see the doctor about something particular.
"There is nobody sick more than usual," she says; "but she must
come in," continued the irritated damsel-in-waiting. "Let her come
in here. You can never have your meals in peace " said the doctor's
wife affectionately. The soup and the little girl came in together,
the latterly evidently quite prepared to state her errand. She was
a small, straight child, with a determined air and a cheery face,
as if sure of success in her undertaking.
