CHAPTER XVII
ANOTHER GIRL
Saturday afternoon the work was finished up and the children washed. The supper was eaten early, and at sundown the Sabbath had begun. The parlor was opened, but the children were allowed out on the porch. Ruth sprang up a time or two rather impatiently.
"Sit still," said Elizabeth, "or you will have to go to bed at once."
"Couldn't I take her a little walk?" asked Doris.
"A walk! Why it is part of Sunday!"
"But I walk on Sunday with Uncle Winthrop."
"It's very wicked. We do walk to church, but that isn't anything for pleasure."
"But uncle thinks one ought to be happy and joyous on Sunday. It is the day the Lord rose from the dead."
