She did not like to go herself; for she knew
that nurse and Mrs. White were fond of a com-
fortable talk together, and might not like to
be interrupted by her. ° But Carrots they would
not mind.

Carrots set off obediently; but before he
got to the door he met nurse coming out. She
was followed by Mrs. White, and both were talk-
ing rather earnestly.

was saying, — Hooper was nurse’s name, — “ for

“Tl let you know, and thank you, Mrs.
White,” said nurse. “I’m glad I happened to
bring some of my own money with me too; for
I should have been sorry to put you to any ill-

convenience by my carelessness, though how

I could have been so careless as to mislay it,

“Jt is, indeed, and you so careful,” said Mrs.
White sympathizingly.
Just then nurse caught sight of Carrots.
