Note 16 — LETTER XXXIX.
Reading edition
Oh yes, said the young girl; you needn’t give yourself any trouble about that. I’ve one chemise quite new, and two good ones besides,—and four others which, in truth, are rather ragged. But my mother said I should have another; and my father, that he would make me my wedding shoes, and they should cost me nothing. And with that I’ve a very nice godmother, who is sure to give me something fine;—perhaps a saucepan, or a frying-stove,16—who knows? without counting that perhaps I shall inherit something from her some day. She has some children, indeed, but they may die.
