"Are you going to be at that place long?"
"Don't know. P'r'aps. You want to buy a pony? My brudder will sell you a good one cheap."
"I'd like to have one like yours. Isn't he a beauty? I always wanted to ride a little pony like this, and I am glad I could do it. Did your father give it to you?"
"No, I haven't got no fadder."
"Your mother then?"
"No," the girl shook her head. "I haven't got no mudder; my brudder give him to me. What you got in your bundle?"
"Some clothes and my doll named Ada."
"I got a doll too; her name is—what's your name?"
"Eleanor."
"Her name is Eleanor like you."
