MOTHER'S CALLER.
Reading edition
"Rat-tat-tat upon the door; pray who can it be? Such a funny lady never did I see. Such a hat upon her head,—far too large a size,— Such a mass of tangled curls hanging in her eyes! "Do come in, my lady small, here's the rocking-chair: Taking out your family for the morning air? This child fell and hurt her head? that was very sad: Other dolly broke her arm? wasn't it too bad? "What, not going! Stay awhile, it is early yet: Come and see me soon again; now, do not forget. Ah! I've seen that face before, dimples, curls, and all,— 'Tis my own clear little girl come to make a call."
RUTH REVERE.
