CHAPTER IV.
WHERE IS ROYAL?
Lucy came one evening and climbed up into her father’s lap.
“Father,” said she, “I wish you would let me study something besides what I study now.”
“Why, what do you study now?” asked her father.
“Only reading and spelling at school, and arithmetic at home with Royal.”
“Isn’t that enough?” said her father.
“No, sir,” replied Lucy; “I want to study something else.”
“Well,” said her father, “I’ll give you something to study, and I’ll study it with you.”
“O, well,” said Lucy, much pleased.
“Let me see,” added her father, looking around the room. “What shall it be? What shall we study? I’ll tell you; we’ll study the windows.”
