“CARROTS.”

heard about it all, when Floss and Carrots.

found themselves early one morning at the
little railway station with their father, waiting
for the train.

Captain Desart was to travel with them for
the first hour, to take them to the « junction i
where they were to change and get into a train
which would take them straight to Whitefriars,
near which was auntie’s house.

You will laugh, children, I dare say, and.
think Floss and Carrots very countrified and
ignorant when I tell you that they had never
been a long railway journey before. Never,
that is to say, that they could remember, for
their parents had come to Sandyshore when
Floss was a baby, and Carrots, as you know,
had been born there.

So you can hardly fancy what a wonderful
event this journey was to them.

Their little hearts were very full at first after
parting with their mother and sisters and
nurse, and all that made the Cove House home.
to them.
