122 Katie Summers.

 

All her old friends were so pleased to see her
again.

The gardener always had some of the finest
fruit for her whenever she went into the garden,
and cook made her little puddings, and the
dairymaid brought her a cup of warm milk
every morning when the cows were milked ; and
every one petted her, and, as her mamma said,
did their best to spoil her. But Katie was nota
little girl likely to be spoilt with kindness; it
only made her grateful and anxious in her turn
to do all she could to please others.

Lucy was very much delighted at having
Katie with her for a whole week, for she was
very fond of her cousin. Katie was never
unkind, and never too much occupied with her
own pleasures to be able to attend to the little
girl.

Lucy was a funny little girl, and, as nurse
said, it was one person’s work to look after her,
for she was always in some mischief or other.
