CHAPTER I

Little Sister

"And could another child-world be my share,
I'd be a Little Sister there."


"Have I got a Little Sister anywhere in this house?" inquired Laddie at
the door, in his most coaxing voice.

"Yes sir," I answered, dropping the trousers I was making for Hezekiah,
my pet bluejay, and running as fast as I could. There was no telling
what minute May might take it into her head that she was a little
sister and reach him first. Maybe he wanted me to do something for
him, and I loved to wait on Laddie.

"Ask mother if you may go with me a while."

"Mother doesn't care where I am, if I come when the supper bell rings."

"All right!" said Laddie.
