132 “ CARROTS.”

 

morning,” said Floss to Carrots, “for I expect
I shall be very sleepy, as I have gaite made up
my mind to stay awake to-night till I hear
them come.”

It was then eight o'clock, and Floss was go-
ing to bed. Carrots had been in bed nearly an
hour, but was not yet asleep. He soon dropped
off, however ; and how long do you think Floss
kept awake? Till twenty-three minutes past
eight, or not so late probably, for that was the
time by the nursery clock when nurse came in
to see that her charges were tucked up for the
night, and found them both fast asleep !

They were in a state of great expectation the
next morning when they were being dressed,
but they remembered their promise and were
very quiet.

“When shall we see Sybil?” asked Carrots ;
‘will she have breakfast in the nursery?”

‘Of course not,” said Floss; “she won’t be
up for ever so long, I dare say.”

‘Poor little thing! she must be very tired,”

said nurse.
