On this particular morning she had made herself look lovelier than ever, and she stepped out of her mother's garden, anxiously peering round for the squirrels, who always greeted her approach joyfully, and escorted her to the edge of the lake with many a bow of admiration and envy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
