That night Clematis did not go to the little room near the maple tree to sleep. She went into the big room.
Jane slept in the bed next to hers. Miss Rose told her to see that Clematis had what help she needed in going to bed.
The day had been a busy one for Clematis. She was very sleepy.
“I guess I won’t bother with teeth and things tonight,” she said to herself.
So she pulled off her clothes, and got into bed.
“Oh Clematis, you can’t do that. You’ve got to pick up your clothes, and clean your teeth, and do lots of things.”
Jane came and shook her, as she snuggled under the clothes.
“Oh, I’m too tired tonight. I’ll do it tomorrow night.”
Clematis did not stir.
Just then Miss Rose came into the sleeping room.
