[Frontispiece]—Mr. and Mrs. Fairchild had three children, Lucy, Emily and Henry. | |
|
Good children | [3] |
|
They ran on before | [5] |
|
Here were abundance of flowers | [8] |
|
"I sat down on one of the branches to eat cherries" | [9] |
|
Mrs. Grace taught me to sew, and Mrs. Penelope taught me to read | [11] |
|
"How lovely! How beautiful!" | [19] |
|
She saw that it was a ring | [24] |
|
Henry stood under the apple-tree | [25] |
|
There was one he could just reach | [27] |
|
Behind the stable | [33] |
|
Lucy and Emily | [34] |
|
Away he ran into the garden, followed by Lucy and Emily | [37] |
|
They went along the great gallery | [45] |
|
Emily and Lucy had never seen such fine clothes before | [53] |
|
Dressed | [58] |
|
At last she fell asleep | [59] |
|
She took two or three damsons, which she ate in great haste | [61] |
|
"What sound is that I hear?" said Emily | [67] |
|
Emily and her brother and sister went to play in the garden | [69] |
|
"I'll see now if I can't spoil Miss Patty's smart silk slip" | [75] |
|
Looking in the glass, with a candle in her hand | [84] |
|
"Please choose a book for me" | [87] |
|
Henry reads the story | [91] |
|
Marten behaved well at breakfast | [92] |
|
A little old lady, dressed in a gray silk gown, came into the kitchen | [99] |
|
Marten goes to school | [106] |
|
Henri stood at the window | [107] |
|
"Do you remember anything of the sermon?" | [131] |
|
Miss Betsy | [142] |
|
The children looked at the kittens | [143] |
|
Drinking tea at the door of the cottage, round the little table | [147] |
|
Miss Crosbie spoke kindly to her | [150] |
|
In the summer parlour | [159] |
|
When Betty returned, Mrs. Howard was well satisfied | [162] |
|
The happy little girls went with the dolls into the bow-window | [175] |
|
The coach came in sight | [181] |
|
Henry looked along the road | [184] |
|
He turned away from the terrible bird | [189] |
|
Could it be her own—her Edwy? She could hardly be sure of her happiness | [199] |
|
"Oh Papa! Mamma! Come to Edwy!" | [202] |
|
"She will get amongst the shrubs," said Emily | [203] |
|
Emily and Henry gave their supper to the little children | [213] |
|
The magpie on the stile | [215] |
|
Preparing the peas for supper | [216] |
|
A sturdy boy of four, roaring and blubbering | [222] |
|
They had a game at marbles | [228] |
|
The noise continued till the two brothers were fairly out of the house | [231] |
|
Lucy and Emily had now each a doll | [245] |
|
Going gaily down the hill | [258] |
|
Margot rose and made a curtsey | [263] |
|
Meeta offered to carry the honey | [285] |
|
"She does not know that I made a slit in my frock" | [286] |
|
Cutting off faded flowers, and picking up the dead leaves | [297] |
|
Off she ran after him | [299] |
|
She saw Bessy amongst some gooseberry bushes | [300] |
|
"What! what!" cried Mrs. Goodriche | [303] |
|
Bessy was crying most piteously | [313] |
|
"At four I shall hope to call for Mrs. Goodriche and Miss Lucy" | [319] |
|
Bessy was very sorry to leave her young friends | [326] |
|
But when Bernard was actually to go there was such a to-do | [333] |
|
"Let us sit here under the shade of a tree" | [341] |
|
He took up a slip of wood | [353] |
|
There was no end of the indulgences given in private to the boy | [354] |
|
Bernard rushed to meet Lucilla | [381] |
|
She only seemed anxious that Lucy and Emily should look well | [382] |
|
For a long time they were all very still with their toys | [387] |
|
In their neatest morning dress | [399] |
|
"Will Lucy love me?" said the old lady | [400] |
|
"Here, ma'am, you can gather any you like" | [408] |
|
It was Emily's step | [415] |
|
Grandmamma was very much pleased with Lucy's stories | [416] |
|
A hundred years ago | [420] |
|
To teach little Francis his letters | [421] |
|
"I cannot tell what the child's head is running on" | [431] |
|
To hang flowers round its neck | [445] |
|
Miss Anne Vaughan led her niece by the hand | [446] |
|
"What a bustle there is to get ready on a dancing day" | [451] |
|
Henry reminded her of the robin | [464] |
|
Someone was waving something white | [470] |
