At Elm Cottage. 47

 

When her ship came in, she would
buy May a new one; but she did not
know when that would be; and May
felt rather in despair about it; for
erandmother had talked of that said
ship so long: and it had never come.

Fortunately, however, when they
opened the door, they saw that the
sun was shining brightly, and that
there was a beautiful blue sky. So,
instead of May’s tired hands having
to hold it up, Johnny found it very
good fun to drag it after him, at
least, for some distance: so the jour-
ney home was as easy and pleasant
as possible.
