"You won't ask for any! That is right, dear. I know you like sweets, Bun, but I must punish you a little, you know, so I can't give you any to-day. Come, now, I forgive you both, so let us go back to our lessons at once; and I hope you will do your best to show me that you are truly sorry, by working very hard for the next two hours."
"Yes, yes, we will, indeed," cried the children together, and off they ran to get their books.
"That is right! That looks like real work," said Miss Kerr, as she wrapped up the chocolate creams in paper, and locked them away in a drawer. "Come, Bunny, bring your book to me, dear."
Bunny opened her spelling-book briskly, Mervyn began to read his lesson attentively, and perfect peace reigned once more.
