She slid down the side of the bed and ran to the window.
It was a lovely Christmas morning. The trees and ground and walks were covered with snow. How it glistened in the sunshine!
The singers were standing in a row under the window. There were seven of them, and they were all children from the village whom Betty had seen when she was driving with her mother.
How they were bundled up, and their cheeks were as red as roses!
They were singing this Christmas carol:—
“I saw three ships come sailing in,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
I saw three ships come sailing in,
On Christmas Day in the morning.”
