It is a charming and thought-provoking read that is sure to captivate readers of all ages.Here the poor girl wept so bitterly, and was so heartily grieved, that she could not utter one word more; but sat herself down, reclining her head upon her hand, in the most melancholy posture that could be; nor could she close her eyes all night, but lay tossing and raving with the thought how she should act, and what she should say to Miss Jenny the next day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
