THE RABBIT.
A STORY FOR LITTLE READERS.
“Henry, dear, do come out to walk, this beautiful afternoon. I am going, and do not want to go alone; please come, won’t you?”
“Supposing I should say, No; I won’t go; what would you do, sister?”
“I should say, well, suit yourself, brother Henry, and I’ll try to go alone; but I do wish you would go with me, it is so pleasant to have some one, and I would rather have you than any one else.”
“Well, you are a darling, good little girl, and I will go with you.”
“Oh, thank you, thank you, dear Henry,” said Caroline; and they were soon in the shady lane which extended from their father’s house to their uncle’s, who was their next neighbour.
