Mrs. L. Where are the pence you had in the pocket, Lucy?
[Lucy boo-hoos again.
Lucy. Oh, mother, it must have come untied when I jumped about. I'm so dreadfully sorry. I shall never be happy again.
Kitty. No, of course you can't feel happy as I do.
Lucy. Mother, do let me try once more; I really will be good.
Mrs. L. Are you sure, Lucy? Will you really try?
Lucy. Yes, yes, I promise. I'll be like a little girl in a book, who changes all of a sudden, and never does it again.
Mrs. L. Very well, then, I'll trust you with it once more.
Kitty. I'm a little surprised at you, aunt.
Lucy. And you'll never tell me I'm to be as good as Kitty?
