Lady. And what does he wish?
Girl. To have your fan: but he will tear it.
Lady. Can you take care of it?
Girl. O yes; I can show it to him.
Lady. Take it; and let him see it.
Girl. Now sit by me. Pray sit him down by me. Look! no, you must not have it. I must keep it in my hand. You can not hold it. Here is a boy. See, he runs to get that bird. O fie! do not get the bird. No! you must not put the bird in a cage. Let the bird fly; let him sing; and let him help to make a nest. Do not hurt the poor bird. You must be good and kind. You must not vex the bird. Here is a girl. Look at her pink coat. Here is her foot. She has a blue shoe. She is at play with the boy. Miss! you must be good. You must tell the boy to be good, that we may love him. All good folks will love him, if he be good, not else. Now let us turn the fan. Now we will look at this side. Here is a nice pink. This is a rose. That is a fly.
Mother. Now John will walk. Ring the bell. Go and walk with the maid.
Girl. Am I to go?
Mother. As you like.
Girl. I like best to stay; but John says with his hand, “pray go.” I will go then; dear boy! I will go with you.
