She wa’n’t a bit afraid to tear her dress;

One day, when she went barefoot, just like us,

She got a stone-bruise; but she didn’t fuss!

Oh, yes! us children liked her, but oh, my!

We had to teach her how to play “high spy”;

She came to see us,—called our house “a flat“—

I wonder now—what could she mean by that?
