I.
THE GRANDMOTHER OF THE DOLLS.
Once upon a time there lived on a plantation, in the very middle of
Middle Georgia, a little girl and a little boy and their negro nurse.
The little girl's name was Sweetest Susan. That was the name her
mother gave her when she was a baby, and she was so good-tempered that
everybody continued to call her Sweetest Susan when she grew older.
She was seven years old. The little boy's name was Buster John. That
was the name his father had given him. Buster John was eight. The
nurse's name was Drusilla, and she was twelve. Drusilla was called a
nurse, but that was just a habit people had. She was more of a child
than either Sweetest Susan or Buster John, but she was very much
larger. She was their playmate--their companion, and a capital one
she made.
