My brother, who calls me Kit, is a year older than I. He is named James and often tries to be a good boy. I call him Jim just as he calls me Kit. Of course we are well acquainted enough for that. My father�������s given name is Robert and my mother�������s name is Frances. They seem to me the best father and mother in the world, but I suppose other children think the same way of their own. I only know this, that we are an awfully happy family, even if Jim and I do have hard work in being really good. Jim says it is so easy to fall down.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
