Lydia.
Where did you get all these things, Sally? I will not take them from you.
Sally.
Yes, pray do Miss, I brought them on purpose for you. My mother makes the cakes and the lozenges herself, and sells them; and my brother and I were out all yesterday afternoon to look for services on the hedges; and then I made the basket and put them into it; and I shall be very sorry if you will not accept of it.
Lydia.
You made that pretty basket, Sally! I wish you would teach me to make such nice baskets.
Sally.
That I will with great pleasure, Miss, if your Mamma likes it.
Lydia.
I am much obliged to you for your nice present. I have something for you, Sally; and that is the reason why I sent for you to come to-day. So saying, Lydia opened the band-box, and took out a new straw hat, with a nice green ribbon round the crown, and one small neat bow behind, and green strings to tie it. Lydia desired the little girl to pull off her own hat, and then sit down and let her put this on: nor had Sally more delight in being thus dressed, than Lydia had in dressing her.
