THE GIRL’S STORY BOOK. 83

 

Mary, in this matter of the
little chair, acted very much
like the dog in the manger.
She did not really want the
chair herself, and she was not
willing that Jesse should have
it. |

“I should think that was
a very foolish thing to cry
about.”

Yes, it was foolish enough.

Mary showed a bad spirit, too.
