+<p class="p1">he grass plot at the back of the cottage was a very bright green, and
+sparkled with the morning dews. It was kept smooth, and level, and
+short, by the garden-roller going over it once a week, and still more
+by the constant nibbling of the goat, who was allowed to be there all
+day, because she had a pretty little young kid that ran by her side.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">But it is not to be supposed that this kid was contented with always
+running close to its mother's side. Kids are very fond of dancing and
+frisking about, and this one was more fond of it than any other in the
+whole village.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">One day a poor Italian boy came down the lane playing upon a pipe, and
+beating a little tabor. He used to play these for two dolls that
+danced upon a board by means of a string which went through their
+bodies, and was fastened to his knee, so that when he moved his knee
+quickly the dolls seemed to dance about upon the board.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">The boy stopped at the gate, put down his board, placed his dolls upon
+it, with the string at his knee, began to play his pipe, and beat upon
+his tabor, and, as he played, the dolls danced up and down, and round
+and round, first on one side, then on the other, now bobbing down
+their heads, now frisking about their feet.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">But while this was going on at the gate, the kid heard the pipe and
+tabor, and after listening to it a minute, with its head on one side,
+suddenly jumped up in the air, gave a great many little kicks, very
+quick and funny, then ran frisking round its mother, and at last stood
+upon its hind legs, and danced all across the grass plot.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Little Mary, who had been looking at the dolls, happened to turn round
+at the moment when the kid was dancing. "O, you little dear, dear
+kid!" cried Mary, first running towards the kid, then back to look at
+the dolls, then again at the kid, then at the dolls, and the Italian
+boy played away with his pipe and tabor, and made his dolls jump up in
+the air, and reel, and set, and hop; but it was all nothing to the
+jumps in the air of the kid, and its frisking kicks and flings, and
+its fun and its fancies.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">At last the Italian boy went away, with a large piece of bread and
+cheese in his hand, and his dolls and dancing-board at his back; but
+playing his pipe and tabor all down the lane. The goat stood looking
+after him, with her head raised tall in the air, and a serious face;
+but the kid continued to dance as long as the pipe and tabor could be
+heard.</p>

+<h2>The Little Foundling.</h2>
+
+<div class="figleft"><img src="images/image_08.jpg" alt="I" width="19" height="75" /></div>
+<p class="p1">n the beginning of June, when the young birds have got nearly all
+their principal feathers, but have not yet learned to fly, it is a sad
+thing if by any accident one of them tumbles out of the nest. This
+misfortune sometimes happens when a nest is too full. Five or six
+little birds are a good many for a nest no bigger than a teacup; and
+there are often as many as five. We have also to recollect that these
+young things are always very wild, and impatient, and unreasonable,
+and make a great fluttering together, and scramble and climb over each
+other, especially when their mother brings them food in her bill.
+There is, of course, not enough food for all of them at once, but they
+all try to get it at once, and some of them are naughty and greedy,
+and try to get a second morsel before their brothers and sisters have
+had any at all. Now, the careful mother-bird knows this very well, and
+she, therefore, divides everything among them, so that each has a bit
+in turn, and while she feeds them she begs the rest to be as patient
+as they can, and not flutter, and chirrup, and gape so widely, and
+above all things, to mind they do not tumble, or push each other, over
+the edge of the nest.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">It happened one day that this very accident occurred in a
+hedge-sparrow's nest which had been built in the largest branch of a
+hawthorn-tree. This tree grew in the middle of a hedge that went round
+a large field, where there were at this time a number of haymakers,
+all very busy with the hay. While some were tossing the hay about in
+order to spread it out in the sun and dry it, others were raking up
+the hay that was already dry enough, and piling it up into haycocks.
+Men and women, and boys and girls too, were all at work in this way,
+and singing in the sun as they tossed the hay with forks, or raked it
+up with large wooden rakes. When the hay was thus moved about on the
+field, a frog sometimes jumped up, and went silently leaping away
+towards the hedge; and sometimes a field-mouse sprang out from the
+short grass, with a loud squeak, and ran off to hide himself in the
+hedge, squeaking all the way, not because he was in the least hurt,
+but because he had waked in a great fright.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">At the same time that all this was going on, the sparrow, whose nest
+was in the hawthorn-tree, had brought a few seeds and a morsel of
+crust to her young ones. The seed she distributed with ease, but the
+morsel of crust was rather hard, and required her to pinch and peck it
+a good deal with her bill before it could be soft enough for the young
+birds. The young ones, however, were all so anxious to be first to
+receive the crust the moment it was ready, that they all began to
+make a loud chirruping, and scrambling, and pushing, and fluttering,
+and trampling, and climbing over each other, till at last two of them
+were on the very edge of the nest, and had each got hold of the crust.
+But the mother-bird did not approve of such rudeness, so she took it
+away from them in her own bill just as the two were beginning to pull
+with all their might, standing on opposite sides of the nest. They
+could not recover themselves, but over they went, fluttering down into
+the tree. One fell into the next bough below, but the other went
+fluttering into the hedge under the tree. The mother helped the
+nearest one up again into the nest, by showing it how to hop and fly
+from branch to branch; the other, however, was too low down, so there
+sat the unfortunate little fellow all alone upon a twig, chirruping
+and looking up in vain at his lost nest.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;">
+<img src="images/image_03.jpg" width="600" height="451" alt="Illustration"/>
+</div>
+
+<p class="p1">This unlucky nestling had not long sat in this way before some boys,
+who had brought the haymakers their dinners, and were returning home,
+saw him in the hedge, and immediately began to try to catch him. But
+though he could not fly, he could flutter, and if he was not able to
+run, at least he could hop; so every time one of the boys got near to
+him, the nestling scrambled on to the next bough, and thus from bough
+to bough all along the hedge. If the boys had only known how
+dreadfully frightened the poor little bird was, they never could have
+been so cruel as to hunt him in this way. They did not know this,
+however, and only thought of catching him. At last he had got to the
+end of the hedge, and then went fluttering down upon the field with
+the boys after him. They soon were so close to him, as he hopped and
+fluttered along the short grass, that the poor little fellow felt
+their hands would presently be upon him, and as a last chance of
+escape, he crept and hid himself under a wisp of hay.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Just at that moment there came into the field Charles Turner, with his
+sister Fanny, and their maid, each having a little wooden rake to make
+hay with. They saw the boys all running very eagerly after something
+in the grass, and they ran directly towards them to see what it was.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"O," cried Charles, "it is a poor little bird that cannot fly!"</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"Do not hurt it," cried Fanny. "Pray, Charley, ask them not to hurt
+it!"</p>
+
+<p class="p1">The nestling had been obliged to hop from beneath his little morsel of
+hay, and had now crept underneath a haycock.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"We did not mean to hurt it, Miss," said one of the boys; "we only
+wanted to catch it, and we could not. But I am afraid one of us trod
+upon it somehow by accident, when it was under the bit of hay there;
+and, perhaps, it has been hurt somewhere. I'm very sorry if it is
+hurt." As he said this, the boys all went away; and the one who had
+spoken really <i>did</i> look sorry.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"I wonder where the little fellow is hiding," said Charles. "If he has
+been hurt, we had better look for him, to see if we can help him to
+find his nest."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"Yes, let us look for him," said Fanny; and they both went to work
+directly to remove the hay and search underneath the haycock,&mdash;Sarah,
+their maid, helping them.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">They were not long in finding the nestling. He was crouching close to
+the ground, with one bright little round black eye looking up at
+them, and was panting as if his little heart would break.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"We will not hurt you, poor little thing!" cried Fanny, as her brother
+stooped down and took him up softly in both hands. The nestling's
+breast panted quicker than ever, and every now and then he gave a
+flutter, when Charles tried to look at him to see where he was hurt.
+At last, when he found how gently he was held, and that all they did
+to him was to smooth down the feathers of his back and wings, he began
+to be quiet, and to pant less, and gradually to cease making any
+fluttering.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"Now then," said Charles, "he is quiet, and we may examine him." So he
+slowly began to open his hands, and Fanny began to blow the little
+bird's feathers with her mouth close down to him, to blow them on one
+side that they might see where he was hurt. But no bruise or scratch
+could be found. Presently, however, Charles said, "O, I see what has
+happened. The boys in running after him have trod upon his feet, and
+bruised them dreadfully. They are all red, and swelled, and crooked,
+and I do not believe they can ever get properly well again. His
+little claws have been twisted and broken. He will never be able to
+hop about any more; and I am sure he can never perch upon a twig. He
+will have nothing to hold fast with. What <i>is</i> to become of him?"</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Fanny began to cry as she heard all this, and looked at the nestling's
+bruised feet, and saw how badly they were injured. "He will die," said
+she, "if we let him go: he will never be able to get up to his nest,
+nor hop about to find his food; and he will be starved. Do, Charley,
+let us take him home with us. If he gets well enough to hop and fly,
+we will give him his liberty; and if not, let us take care of him."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Accordingly, home they all went, carrying the bird, gently wrapped up
+in a white handkerchief, and held loosely in Fanny's double hands, so
+as not to press him. When they arrived they suddenly recollected that
+they had no cage for him, and did not know where to put him. Not
+knowing what to do, as their papa and mamma happened both to be out,
+Charles went into the yard to ask advice. To his great joy, Timothy,
+the coachman, told him there was an old wire lantern hanging up in
+the stable, which he might have. The old lantern was brought, and some
+hay and grass were laid at the bottom, and then Timothy said he knew
+of a chaffinch's nest which had been built last year in a pear-tree
+that grew up one side of the stable wall, and they might get it down,
+and put this little lame fellow into it.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"But then," said Fanny, "what will the chaffinches do without a nest!"</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"O, you don't understand," said Charles. "It is an empty nest, made
+last year. It has no owners now."</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 450px;">
+<img src="images/image_04.jpg" width="450" height="550" alt="Illustration"/>
+</div>
+
+<p class="p1">"Do get it, then, Timothy, please," cried Fanny.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Away went Timothy for the old chaffinch's nest, and Charles with him,
+while Fanny remained with the nestling, standing beside the wire
+lantern. They soon came back with the nest, which Fanny placed at the
+bottom of the lantern.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">By this time Mrs. Dowse, the cook, came into the yard smiling, and
+bringing with her a saucer containing bread and milk and a quill, in
+order that the nestling should have some supper. "O, thank you, Mrs.
+Dowse," cried Fanny. "I had quite forgotten that he would want
+something to eat. Will you teach us how to feed him?"</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Mrs. Dowse took the nestling in her left hand, and a quill full of
+bread and milk in the other, the nestling all the while making a great
+kicking and struggling and resistance, not knowing what in the world
+was going to be done to him. The first time, however, he opened his
+bill to give a loud chirrup, as much as to say, "What are you about
+with me, Mrs. Dowse?" the quick fingers of the smiling cook popped a
+quill full of bread and milk down his throat. In a moment he opened
+it wide for another! and wider still for another! and yet wider still
+for one more! There was an end of all his resistance. He had found out
+what Mrs. Dowse wanted to do to him, and was very much pleased at it.
+In this way he was fed every day by Fanny, who soon learned to manage
+it very neatly.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">The papa of Charles and Fanny used to call the nestling "The Little
+Foundling," and so did their mamma, but Fanny and Charles also gave
+him the name of "Chirp." Poor little Chirp's feet did not get well. He
+still continued quite lame, as the bones of his claws had all been
+injured severely. In other respects he was very well; ate his food
+with a great appetite, and seemed contented and happy. His lantern was
+always hung in the pear-tree by the stable wall every fine day.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">This little Foundling, however, was not the only bird in the house.
+Fanny's uncle had brought her a beautiful canary on her last birthday,
+and he was of the most graceful shape, the most delicate yellow color,
+and the most clear and joyful voice that ever were seen or heard. He
+lived in a large cage of bright brass wire, which had a circular top
+and three perches. One perch was just level with his long seed-box,
+and, in fact, led up to it; the second perch was in the middle of the
+cage, and the third was in the circular top, which arched over him in
+the shape of a bell. He often had groundsel and chickweed hung in the
+wires over head, to look like a bower; and opposite this top perch was
+a small looking-glass, in which he could see himself. He had a
+drinking-glass hung outside his cage at the bottom, and up in one
+corner a round bath-glass to wash in. Every morning he had his bath;
+then he took his breakfast; then he hopped up to the top perch under
+his bell-shaped bower, and set his feathers all to rights at his
+looking-glass; then he bowed to himself once or twice (fancying all
+the while he saw another canary in the glass); then he polished his
+bill upon the perch to complete his toilet; and then he sang himself a
+delightful song. His name was Dicky. He was quite a gentleman.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 600px;">
+<img src="images/image_05.jpg" width="600" height="444" alt="Illustration"/>
+</div>
+
+<p class="p1">When the weather was fine, this very gentleman-like canary bird was
+always hung in a mulberry-tree. Whenever he found himself among all
+these beautiful green leaves he sang louder and more joyfully than
+ever. Fanny and Charles, therefore, thought it was a pity to leave the
+poor little Foundling so lonely in his pear-tree by the stable, and
+accordingly they brought his funny old lantern and hung it upon the
+next bough to the one that held the cage of the canary. And there all
+day the poor little ragged lame sparrow sat looking with earnest eyes
+of admiration at the beautiful canary, and listening with the greatest
+wonder and pleasure to his singing. He only now and then ventured,
+when the canary stopped to utter his "<i>chirp! chirp!</i>" as much as to
+say, "more! more!" They were hung up close together in this manner
+almost every day for a week or two. They looked at one another very
+much; the nestling sparrow evidently regarding the canary with great
+admiration, and the canary seeming to pity and be sorry for the poor
+little lame Foundling.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">One day Fanny said to her brother, "Do you see, Charley, how these
+birds look at each other? I should so much like to put Chirp into
+Dicky's cage."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"I have been thinking of the very same thing," said Charles. "Let us
+run and ask mamma if we may do it."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Away they ran and asked.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"Why," said their mamma, "it certainly will have rather a strange
+appearance. The two birds do not seem suitable companions. It is an
+odd fancy, children; but you may do it if you like."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">No sooner said than done. Off ran Fanny and Charles&mdash;took the little
+Foundling out of his old lantern&mdash;opened the door of Dicky's cage&mdash;and
+at once put him in, and fastened the door. In a moment, Dicky flew up
+to his top perch, and stood looking down very earnestly; and the
+little Foundling, though he could stump about on his lame toes, never
+moved, but sat looking up at Sir Dicky. The nestling looked like a
+poor little ragged lame beggar-boy whom a sprightly gentleman in a
+bright yellow coat had been so compassionate as to take into his
+house.</p>
+
+<div class="figcenter" style="width: 350px;">
+<img src="images/image_06.jpg" width="350" height="423" alt="Illustration"/>
+</div>
+
+<p class="p1">Presently the Foundling went to the seed-box, and looked in. Down came
+Dicky in a moment, and drove him away from his box, and then ascended
+again to the top perch. This happened every time poor Chirp went near
+the seed. However, he took a good drink out of the bath-glass, at
+which both Fanny and Charles laughed very much. They then gave the
+Foundling some food through the wires of the cage. This they had to do
+for several days, till Dicky at last became more good-natured, and no
+longer prevented the poor lame Foundling from eating out of his
+seed-box.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">They gradually became very good friends in the cage, though Dicky,
+except for his bath and his seed, was almost always upon the perch in
+the middle or the top of the cage, while Chirp, who never recovered
+from his lameness, went stumping about at the bottom. In other
+respects, however, the Foundling grew to be a good, strong sparrow
+with all his proper feathers, and made a clean and respectable
+appearance. He now looked like a stout faithful servant in a brown
+coat who inhabited the lower story, while the gay and sprightly owner
+of the house sat in the upper rooms to sing, or dance upon two
+perches. They lived very happily, and Fanny and Charles rejoiced that
+they had brought home the little lame Foundling.</p>

+<p class="p1">o jump up and look out at the trees," said Susan, one morning in
+December, to little Mary, "they are so beautiful; all sparkling like
+silver!"</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"It seems very cold," said Mary, rather sleepily. "Will you draw up
+the blind, Susan, that I may see out?"</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Susan drew up the blind.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"O," cried Mary, "how lovely the window looks! I see fairy palaces,
+and wreaths of flowers, and numbers of birds, and bright butterflies!
+O, and look at those angels, flying with white wings spread, and below
+them there is a lovely lake! Look, Susan, do you see what I mean?"</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"I don't see that so plain," replied Susan; "but I see a pretty
+cottage just there, in the corner of this pane."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"O, yes!" said Mary; "and look, there is a high mountain behind it,
+and a forest of tall fir-trees growing all up the sides, and there is
+a river running along before it, with pretty flowers like stars on
+its banks. O, and little fairies dancing among them! Now it all
+sparkles like diamonds and rubies! Beautiful, beautiful!" cried Mary,
+jumping out of bed. The sun had just risen, and his beams, tinged with
+red, shone on little Mary's frosted window, and gave it this beautiful
+appearance.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"But it is much too cold to stand looking at it, dear," said Susan;
+"make haste, and let us get you down to the warm parlor fire."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Splash went Mary into her bath, and made all the haste possible; and
+while she was dressing, the window was a continual pleasure; for as
+the sun shone on the glass, small portions of the frost-work melted
+away, and let the bright rays shine through; and first these clear
+spots looked like little shining stars on the fairies' foreheads; then
+like stars in the sky; then they changed into pretty ponds in a wood;
+then into lakes with rocky banks; the angels seemed to fly farther
+away; the wreath of flowers took different forms; the fairies danced
+off with the birds and butterflies; and at last, just as the largest
+lake had become so large that Mary thought it must be the sea, it was
+time to go down stairs.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">The parlor looked so very comfortable and felt so warm. There was a
+bright fire; Bouncer was stretched on the rug; the kettle boiled on
+the hob; breakfast was laid; the sun shone in at the lattice window.
+And now Mary, looking out into the garden, remembered what Susan had
+said about the trees, for they did indeed look beautiful. Every branch
+and every twig was incrusted over with crystals of white frost; they
+no longer appeared like common trees; no wood was to be seen; they
+seemed to have been changed by some fairy in the night into silver,
+and sprinkled with diamonds. The laurels and other evergreens had all
+their leaves covered and fringed round the edges with the same
+silvery, sparkling frost-work. The ivy-leaves near the window looked
+the best of all; their dark green color seemed to make the jewels
+shine more brightly, and then their pretty forms were shown off by all
+this ornament. As Mary was fancying herself in some fairy palace, or
+in Aladdin's garden, and wondering whether there was any fruit made
+of precious stones hanging on the trees, her papa and mamma came down
+to breakfast, and they all enjoyed the sight together. Mary's pretty
+cousin, Chrissy, who had been May-Queen on the first of May, was on a
+visit at the cottage, and when she came down, she was delighted too
+with the beautiful sight, and thought the branches like white coral
+tipped with diamonds.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">While they were at breakfast, Mary asked the question which she had
+asked for several mornings past. It was, "Do you think Aunt Mary, and
+Thomas, and Willie will come to-day?"</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"I think it quite possible that they may," said her mamma; "but
+to-morrow is more likely."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"You had better try not to expect them till to-morrow, Mary," said
+Chrissy.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"I will <i>try</i>," said Mary, "but I think I do expect them to-day. And
+now let me think how many days it is before Christmas Eve will come.
+Yesterday we counted it was eleven days, so to-day it is ten. <i>Still</i>
+ten days."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"But you know, Mary, we have plenty to do first," said her mamma. Mary
+nodded and smiled.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Christmas Eve was the day they kept at the cottage; because Mary's
+papa and mamma always spent Christmas Day with grandmamma. She lived
+in a large old house, in a country town ten miles off. Everything in
+her house was clean and shining; the rooms smelt very sweet, and
+grandmamma was very kind, and let the children do whatever they liked;
+and her two maids were so good-natured, and petted them; and there
+were always such nice cakes, oranges, and jellies. Then, in the
+evenings there was sure to be a magic lantern, or a man to play the
+fiddle; in short, going to grandmamma's was a very great pleasure.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Mary now asked her papa to come down to the pond, and give her another
+lesson in sliding. He came out, and as they ran along they found
+numbers of things to admire. Every blade of grass was fringed with the
+white frost-work, and the leaves of all the weeds that grew near the
+hedges looked quite pretty with their new trimming. But, above all,
+the mosses in the little wood that skirted the field were most lovely.
+When winter strips the trees of their leaves, then the little bright
+green mosses come and clothe the roots and stems, as if to do all they
+can to comfort them; and to-day they were sparkling all over, and
+seemed to be dressed out for some festival. Mary and her papa stopped
+before a weeping birch-tree, with the green moss growing on its
+silvery white stem. After admiring it for some time, they looked up at
+its branches that hung drooping over their heads. "How light and
+feathery they look," said Mary. "I think they are quite as pretty as
+in summer."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"I think so too," said her papa. "I even think the birch more
+beautiful in winter than in summer; and all the trees show us the
+grandeur and beauty of their forms more when the leaves are gone.
+Look at their great sweeping branches."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"Yes," said Mary, "and then all the little twigs look so pretty, and
+like lace-work."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"And more than ever we must admire them," said her papa, "when we
+think that in every little bud at their tips lie the young leaves
+folded in, and safely shielded by this brown covering from the cold;
+but all ready to burst forth when the soft spring air and sunshine
+tell them it is time."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Mary was delighted at this thought, and they spent a little while
+looking at the different buds, particularly those of the
+chestnut-trees, with their shining brown coats. Mary took great care
+not to break one off; she said, "It would be such a pity the little
+leaves should not feel the spring air, and come out in the sunshine."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"But, O Chrissy, what a lovely bunch of jewelled leaves you have
+collected!" cried she. "O, yes, that branch in the middle will look
+pretty; it has managed to go on looking like coral, and to keep its
+diamonds, because it was so shaded. Now you will put the brown oak
+leaves, all shining. Here are some more; <i>do</i> put these; and then the
+pretty little brown beech leaves glittering all over. It looks
+beautiful!"</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"How pretty the form of the oak leaves is," said Chrissy.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"Now let us take it in to mamma," cried Mary.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"But, remember," said Chrissy, "if we take it in all its charm will
+vanish. Here in the frosty air it looks as if it had been dressed up
+by the fairies, but in the warm room we should soon have nothing but a
+bare twig and a few withered leaves."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Mary looked rather sad.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"See," said Chrissy, "let us fasten it to the top of your mamma's
+favorite seat under the beech-tree; it will make a pretty ornament
+there."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Now the sliding began. Mary's papa took hold of her hand and ran with
+her along the field, till they came to the edge of the pond; then away
+they went, sliding side by side. He kept tight hold of her hand; for
+she could not help tumbling down very often, because this was only the
+second time she had tried. Once they both very nearly had a tumble,
+for Bouncer came out, and ran bounding and barking by their side, and
+rushed on the ice with them; but he suddenly stopped short and
+barked, as if to say, "How is this? What makes the water so hard this
+morning?" and when he stopped they nearly tumbled over him, but they
+managed to keep up. After sliding till Mary's face looked like a
+rosy-cheeked apple, it was time to go in to lessons; and afterwards
+they took a walk, and saw some gentlemen and boys skating on the large
+pond on the Common.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Just as Mary's mamma said they must go home, the London coach with its
+four horses came gayly along the hard frosty road along the Common. A
+boy on the top waved a red handkerchief, and Mary cried out, "That's
+Thomas; I know it is!" She was quite right, for the coach stopped, and
+aunt Mary and Willie got out, while Thomas slid down from the roof.
+They were soon shaking hands, giving kisses and kind welcomes, and all
+walked merrily up the lane, and had a very happy dinner.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">Then came what Mary called "happy time." This was the time when it
+grew dark, candles were brought, shutters and curtains closed, and
+they all collected round the tea-table, while the fire blazed, the
+kettle boiled, and everything looked bright and pleasant. This
+evening it seemed happier than ever; and next morning it was
+delightful to awake and remember who had come to the cottage, and to
+see the party at breakfast; and then to have Thomas and Willie to
+slide on the pond. Mary grew quite a brave slider before they were
+called in to dinner.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">When dinner was over, she asked her mamma whether they should not go
+on with nice work this evening? and her mamma said, "O, yes, they
+must, or they should not be ready." This "nice work" was preparing a
+number of presents, which were to be given away at Christmas. None of
+their friends had been forgotten. Mary was busy hemming, knitting,
+dressing dolls, and making pincushions; her mamma was also hard at
+work, and besides, was often cutting out and fixing, and had a village
+girl, who came almost every day for work, making frocks and different
+things; Chrissy was also busy making all kinds of pretty things.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">When aunt Mary heard of it, she said, "We are all at work in the same
+way. Thomas has brought his turning lathe, and a few tools that he
+has, and he and Willie are very busy about something." Thomas put his
+finger on his lips to show her that she must not tell what that
+something was, and Willie put his arms round her neck, and whispered
+something very mysteriously.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"Chrissy and Mary have some secret too," said Mary's mamma, "they go
+into a room by themselves every day, and nobody must disturb them."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">At this they both laughed.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"Well, we shall know about it all on Christmas Eve," said Mary, "and
+then, besides, we shall see somebody, mamma says; somebody that is
+coming here that we shall like very much, and that we know, and yet
+have never seen."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"Is it a gentleman or lady?" asked Thomas.</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"A gentleman," said Mary; "I have guessed everybody I can think of,
+but I cannot find out."</p>
+
+<p class="p1">"Somebody we know, and yet have never seen," said Thomas; "who can it
+be?"</p>

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+The Goat and her Kid.
+
+
+The grass plot at the back of the cottage was a very bright green, and
+sparkled with the morning dews. It was kept smooth, and level, and
+short, by the garden-roller going over it once a week, and still more
+by the constant nibbling of the goat, who was allowed to be there all
+day, because she had a pretty little young kid that ran by her side.
+
+But it is not to be supposed that this kid was contented with always
+running close to its mother's side. Kids are very fond of dancing and
+frisking about, and this one was more fond of it than any other in the
+whole village.
+
+One day a poor Italian boy came down the lane playing upon a pipe, and
+beating a little tabor. He used to play these for two dolls that
+danced upon a board by means of a string which went through their
+bodies, and was fastened to his knee, so that when he moved his knee
+quickly the dolls seemed to dance about upon the board.
+
+The boy stopped at the gate, put down his board, placed his dolls upon
+it, with the string at his knee, began to play his pipe, and beat upon
+his tabor, and, as he played, the dolls danced up and down, and round
+and round, first on one side, then on the other, now bobbing down
+their heads, now frisking about their feet.
+
+But while this was going on at the gate, the kid heard the pipe and
+tabor, and after listening to it a minute, with its head on one side,
+suddenly jumped up in the air, gave a great many little kicks, very
+quick and funny, then ran frisking round its mother, and at last stood
+upon its hind legs, and danced all across the grass plot.
+
+Little Mary, who had been looking at the dolls, happened to turn round
+at the moment when the kid was dancing. "O, you little dear, dear
+kid!" cried Mary, first running towards the kid, then back to look at
+the dolls, then again at the kid, then at the dolls, and the Italian
+boy played away with his pipe and tabor, and made his dolls jump up in
+the air, and reel, and set, and hop; but it was all nothing to the
+jumps in the air of the kid, and its frisking kicks and flings, and
+its fun and its fancies.
+
+At last the Italian boy went away, with a large piece of bread and
+cheese in his hand, and his dolls and dancing-board at his back; but
+playing his pipe and tabor all down the lane. The goat stood looking
+after him, with her head raised tall in the air, and a serious face;
+but the kid continued to dance as long as the pipe and tabor could be
+heard.

+
+
+
+The Little Foundling.
+
+
+In the beginning of June, when the young birds have got nearly all
+their principal feathers, but have not yet learned to fly, it is a sad
+thing if by any accident one of them tumbles out of the nest. This
+misfortune sometimes happens when a nest is too full. Five or six
+little birds are a good many for a nest no bigger than a teacup; and
+there are often as many as five. We have also to recollect that these
+young things are always very wild, and impatient, and unreasonable,
+and make a great fluttering together, and scramble and climb over each
+other, especially when their mother brings them food in her bill.
+There is, of course, not enough food for all of them at once, but they
+all try to get it at once, and some of them are naughty and greedy,
+and try to get a second morsel before their brothers and sisters have
+had any at all. Now, the careful mother-bird knows this very well, and
+she, therefore, divides everything among them, so that each has a bit
+in turn, and while she feeds them she begs the rest to be as patient
+as they can, and not flutter, and chirrup, and gape so widely, and
+above all things, to mind they do not tumble, or push each other, over
+the edge of the nest.
+
+It happened one day that this very accident occurred in a
+hedge-sparrow's nest which had been built in the largest branch of a
+hawthorn-tree. This tree grew in the middle of a hedge that went round
+a large field, where there were at this time a number of haymakers,
+all very busy with the hay. While some were tossing the hay about in
+order to spread it out in the sun and dry it, others were raking up
+the hay that was already dry enough, and piling it up into haycocks.
+Men and women, and boys and girls too, were all at work in this way,
+and singing in the sun as they tossed the hay with forks, or raked it
+up with large wooden rakes. When the hay was thus moved about on the
+field, a frog sometimes jumped up, and went silently leaping away
+towards the hedge; and sometimes a field-mouse sprang out from the
+short grass, with a loud squeak, and ran off to hide himself in the
+hedge, squeaking all the way, not because he was in the least hurt,
+but because he had waked in a great fright.
+
+At the same time that all this was going on, the sparrow, whose nest
+was in the hawthorn-tree, had brought a few seeds and a morsel of
+crust to her young ones. The seed she distributed with ease, but the
+morsel of crust was rather hard, and required her to pinch and peck it
+a good deal with her bill before it could be soft enough for the young
+birds. The young ones, however, were all so anxious to be first to
+receive the crust the moment it was ready, that they all began to
+make a loud chirruping, and scrambling, and pushing, and fluttering,
+and trampling, and climbing over each other, till at last two of them
+were on the very edge of the nest, and had each got hold of the crust.
+But the mother-bird did not approve of such rudeness, so she took it
+away from them in her own bill just as the two were beginning to pull
+with all their might, standing on opposite sides of the nest. They
+could not recover themselves, but over they went, fluttering down into
+the tree. One fell into the next bough below, but the other went
+fluttering into the hedge under the tree. The mother helped the
+nearest one up again into the nest, by showing it how to hop and fly
+from branch to branch; the other, however, was too low down, so there
+sat the unfortunate little fellow all alone upon a twig, chirruping
+and looking up in vain at his lost nest.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+This unlucky nestling had not long sat in this way before some boys,
+who had brought the haymakers their dinners, and were returning home,
+saw him in the hedge, and immediately began to try to catch him. But
+though he could not fly, he could flutter, and if he was not able to
+run, at least he could hop; so every time one of the boys got near to
+him, the nestling scrambled on to the next bough, and thus from bough
+to bough all along the hedge. If the boys had only known how
+dreadfully frightened the poor little bird was, they never could have
+been so cruel as to hunt him in this way. They did not know this,
+however, and only thought of catching him. At last he had got to the
+end of the hedge, and then went fluttering down upon the field with
+the boys after him. They soon were so close to him, as he hopped and
+fluttered along the short grass, that the poor little fellow felt
+their hands would presently be upon him, and as a last chance of
+escape, he crept and hid himself under a wisp of hay.
+
+Just at that moment there came into the field Charles Turner, with his
+sister Fanny, and their maid, each having a little wooden rake to make
+hay with. They saw the boys all running very eagerly after something
+in the grass, and they ran directly towards them to see what it was.
+
+"O," cried Charles, "it is a poor little bird that cannot fly!"
+
+"Do not hurt it," cried Fanny. "Pray, Charley, ask them not to hurt
+it!"
+
+The nestling had been obliged to hop from beneath his little morsel of
+hay, and had now crept underneath a haycock.
+
+"We did not mean to hurt it, Miss," said one of the boys; "we only
+wanted to catch it, and we could not. But I am afraid one of us trod
+upon it somehow by accident, when it was under the bit of hay there;
+and, perhaps, it has been hurt somewhere. I'm very sorry if it is
+hurt." As he said this, the boys all went away; and the one who had
+spoken really _did_ look sorry.
+
+"I wonder where the little fellow is hiding," said Charles. "If he has
+been hurt, we had better look for him, to see if we can help him to
+find his nest."
+
+"Yes, let us look for him," said Fanny; and they both went to work
+directly to remove the hay and search underneath the haycock,--Sarah,
+their maid, helping them.
+
+They were not long in finding the nestling. He was crouching close to
+the ground, with one bright little round black eye looking up at
+them, and was panting as if his little heart would break.
+
+"We will not hurt you, poor little thing!" cried Fanny, as her brother
+stooped down and took him up softly in both hands. The nestling's
+breast panted quicker than ever, and every now and then he gave a
+flutter, when Charles tried to look at him to see where he was hurt.
+At last, when he found how gently he was held, and that all they did
+to him was to smooth down the feathers of his back and wings, he began
+to be quiet, and to pant less, and gradually to cease making any
+fluttering.
+
+"Now then," said Charles, "he is quiet, and we may examine him." So he
+slowly began to open his hands, and Fanny began to blow the little
+bird's feathers with her mouth close down to him, to blow them on one
+side that they might see where he was hurt. But no bruise or scratch
+could be found. Presently, however, Charles said, "O, I see what has
+happened. The boys in running after him have trod upon his feet, and
+bruised them dreadfully. They are all red, and swelled, and crooked,
+and I do not believe they can ever get properly well again. His
+little claws have been twisted and broken. He will never be able to
+hop about any more; and I am sure he can never perch upon a twig. He
+will have nothing to hold fast with. What _is_ to become of him?"
+
+Fanny began to cry as she heard all this, and looked at the nestling's
+bruised feet, and saw how badly they were injured. "He will die," said
+she, "if we let him go: he will never be able to get up to his nest,
+nor hop about to find his food; and he will be starved. Do, Charley,
+let us take him home with us. If he gets well enough to hop and fly,
+we will give him his liberty; and if not, let us take care of him."
+
+Accordingly, home they all went, carrying the bird, gently wrapped up
+in a white handkerchief, and held loosely in Fanny's double hands, so
+as not to press him. When they arrived they suddenly recollected that
+they had no cage for him, and did not know where to put him. Not
+knowing what to do, as their papa and mamma happened both to be out,
+Charles went into the yard to ask advice. To his great joy, Timothy,
+the coachman, told him there was an old wire lantern hanging up in
+the stable, which he might have. The old lantern was brought, and some
+hay and grass were laid at the bottom, and then Timothy said he knew
+of a chaffinch's nest which had been built last year in a pear-tree
+that grew up one side of the stable wall, and they might get it down,
+and put this little lame fellow into it.
+
+"But then," said Fanny, "what will the chaffinches do without a nest!"
+
+"O, you don't understand," said Charles. "It is an empty nest, made
+last year. It has no owners now."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Do get it, then, Timothy, please," cried Fanny.
+
+Away went Timothy for the old chaffinch's nest, and Charles with him,
+while Fanny remained with the nestling, standing beside the wire
+lantern. They soon came back with the nest, which Fanny placed at the
+bottom of the lantern.
+
+By this time Mrs. Dowse, the cook, came into the yard smiling, and
+bringing with her a saucer containing bread and milk and a quill, in
+order that the nestling should have some supper. "O, thank you, Mrs.
+Dowse," cried Fanny. "I had quite forgotten that he would want
+something to eat. Will you teach us how to feed him?"
+
+Mrs. Dowse took the nestling in her left hand, and a quill full of
+bread and milk in the other, the nestling all the while making a great
+kicking and struggling and resistance, not knowing what in the world
+was going to be done to him. The first time, however, he opened his
+bill to give a loud chirrup, as much as to say, "What are you about
+with me, Mrs. Dowse?" the quick fingers of the smiling cook popped a
+quill full of bread and milk down his throat. In a moment he opened
+it wide for another! and wider still for another! and yet wider still
+for one more! There was an end of all his resistance. He had found out
+what Mrs. Dowse wanted to do to him, and was very much pleased at it.
+In this way he was fed every day by Fanny, who soon learned to manage
+it very neatly.
+
+The papa of Charles and Fanny used to call the nestling "The Little
+Foundling," and so did their mamma, but Fanny and Charles also gave
+him the name of "Chirp." Poor little Chirp's feet did not get well. He
+still continued quite lame, as the bones of his claws had all been
+injured severely. In other respects he was very well; ate his food
+with a great appetite, and seemed contented and happy. His lantern was
+always hung in the pear-tree by the stable wall every fine day.
+
+This little Foundling, however, was not the only bird in the house.
+Fanny's uncle had brought her a beautiful canary on her last birthday,
+and he was of the most graceful shape, the most delicate yellow color,
+and the most clear and joyful voice that ever were seen or heard. He
+lived in a large cage of bright brass wire, which had a circular top
+and three perches. One perch was just level with his long seed-box,
+and, in fact, led up to it; the second perch was in the middle of the
+cage, and the third was in the circular top, which arched over him in
+the shape of a bell. He often had groundsel and chickweed hung in the
+wires over head, to look like a bower; and opposite this top perch was
+a small looking-glass, in which he could see himself. He had a
+drinking-glass hung outside his cage at the bottom, and up in one
+corner a round bath-glass to wash in. Every morning he had his bath;
+then he took his breakfast; then he hopped up to the top perch under
+his bell-shaped bower, and set his feathers all to rights at his
+looking-glass; then he bowed to himself once or twice (fancying all
+the while he saw another canary in the glass); then he polished his
+bill upon the perch to complete his toilet; and then he sang himself a
+delightful song. His name was Dicky. He was quite a gentleman.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+When the weather was fine, this very gentleman-like canary bird was
+always hung in a mulberry-tree. Whenever he found himself among all
+these beautiful green leaves he sang louder and more joyfully than
+ever. Fanny and Charles, therefore, thought it was a pity to leave the
+poor little Foundling so lonely in his pear-tree by the stable, and
+accordingly they brought his funny old lantern and hung it upon the
+next bough to the one that held the cage of the canary. And there all
+day the poor little ragged lame sparrow sat looking with earnest eyes
+of admiration at the beautiful canary, and listening with the greatest
+wonder and pleasure to his singing. He only now and then ventured,
+when the canary stopped to utter his "_chirp! chirp!_" as much as to
+say, "more! more!" They were hung up close together in this manner
+almost every day for a week or two. They looked at one another very
+much; the nestling sparrow evidently regarding the canary with great
+admiration, and the canary seeming to pity and be sorry for the poor
+little lame Foundling.
+
+One day Fanny said to her brother, "Do you see, Charley, how these
+birds look at each other? I should so much like to put Chirp into
+Dicky's cage."
+
+"I have been thinking of the very same thing," said Charles. "Let us
+run and ask mamma if we may do it."
+
+Away they ran and asked.
+
+"Why," said their mamma, "it certainly will have rather a strange
+appearance. The two birds do not seem suitable companions. It is an
+odd fancy, children; but you may do it if you like."
+
+No sooner said than done. Off ran Fanny and Charles--took the little
+Foundling out of his old lantern--opened the door of Dicky's cage--and
+at once put him in, and fastened the door. In a moment, Dicky flew up
+to his top perch, and stood looking down very earnestly; and the
+little Foundling, though he could stump about on his lame toes, never
+moved, but sat looking up at Sir Dicky. The nestling looked like a
+poor little ragged lame beggar-boy whom a sprightly gentleman in a
+bright yellow coat had been so compassionate as to take into his
+house.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Presently the Foundling went to the seed-box, and looked in. Down came
+Dicky in a moment, and drove him away from his box, and then ascended
+again to the top perch. This happened every time poor Chirp went near
+the seed. However, he took a good drink out of the bath-glass, at
+which both Fanny and Charles laughed very much. They then gave the
+Foundling some food through the wires of the cage. This they had to do
+for several days, till Dicky at last became more good-natured, and no
+longer prevented the poor lame Foundling from eating out of his
+seed-box.
+
+They gradually became very good friends in the cage, though Dicky,
+except for his bath and his seed, was almost always upon the perch in
+the middle or the top of the cage, while Chirp, who never recovered
+from his lameness, went stumping about at the bottom. In other
+respects, however, the Foundling grew to be a good, strong sparrow
+with all his proper feathers, and made a clean and respectable
+appearance. He now looked like a stout faithful servant in a brown
+coat who inhabited the lower story, while the gay and sprightly owner
+of the house sat in the upper rooms to sing, or dance upon two
+perches. They lived very happily, and Fanny and Charles rejoiced that
+they had brought home the little lame Foundling.
+
+
+
+
+Winter Pleasures.
+
+
+"Do jump up and look out at the trees," said Susan, one morning in
+December, to little Mary, "they are so beautiful; all sparkling like
+silver!"
+
+"It seems very cold," said Mary, rather sleepily. "Will you draw up
+the blind, Susan, that I may see out?"
+
+Susan drew up the blind.
+
+"O," cried Mary, "how lovely the window looks! I see fairy palaces,
+and wreaths of flowers, and numbers of birds, and bright butterflies!
+O, and look at those angels, flying with white wings spread, and below
+them there is a lovely lake! Look, Susan, do you see what I mean?"
+
+"I don't see that so plain," replied Susan; "but I see a pretty
+cottage just there, in the corner of this pane."
+
+"O, yes!" said Mary; "and look, there is a high mountain behind it,
+and a forest of tall fir-trees growing all up the sides, and there is
+a river running along before it, with pretty flowers like stars on
+its banks. O, and little fairies dancing among them! Now it all
+sparkles like diamonds and rubies! Beautiful, beautiful!" cried Mary,
+jumping out of bed. The sun had just risen, and his beams, tinged with
+red, shone on little Mary's frosted window, and gave it this beautiful
+appearance.
+
+"But it is much too cold to stand looking at it, dear," said Susan;
+"make haste, and let us get you down to the warm parlor fire."
+
+Splash went Mary into her bath, and made all the haste possible; and
+while she was dressing, the window was a continual pleasure; for as
+the sun shone on the glass, small portions of the frost-work melted
+away, and let the bright rays shine through; and first these clear
+spots looked like little shining stars on the fairies' foreheads; then
+like stars in the sky; then they changed into pretty ponds in a wood;
+then into lakes with rocky banks; the angels seemed to fly farther
+away; the wreath of flowers took different forms; the fairies danced
+off with the birds and butterflies; and at last, just as the largest
+lake had become so large that Mary thought it must be the sea, it was
+time to go down stairs.
+
+The parlor looked so very comfortable and felt so warm. There was a
+bright fire; Bouncer was stretched on the rug; the kettle boiled on
+the hob; breakfast was laid; the sun shone in at the lattice window.
+And now Mary, looking out into the garden, remembered what Susan had
+said about the trees, for they did indeed look beautiful. Every branch
+and every twig was incrusted over with crystals of white frost; they
+no longer appeared like common trees; no wood was to be seen; they
+seemed to have been changed by some fairy in the night into silver,
+and sprinkled with diamonds. The laurels and other evergreens had all
+their leaves covered and fringed round the edges with the same
+silvery, sparkling frost-work. The ivy-leaves near the window looked
+the best of all; their dark green color seemed to make the jewels
+shine more brightly, and then their pretty forms were shown off by all
+this ornament. As Mary was fancying herself in some fairy palace, or
+in Aladdin's garden, and wondering whether there was any fruit made
+of precious stones hanging on the trees, her papa and mamma came down
+to breakfast, and they all enjoyed the sight together. Mary's pretty
+cousin, Chrissy, who had been May-Queen on the first of May, was on a
+visit at the cottage, and when she came down, she was delighted too
+with the beautiful sight, and thought the branches like white coral
+tipped with diamonds.
+
+While they were at breakfast, Mary asked the question which she had
+asked for several mornings past. It was, "Do you think Aunt Mary, and
+Thomas, and Willie will come to-day?"
+
+"I think it quite possible that they may," said her mamma; "but
+to-morrow is more likely."
+
+"You had better try not to expect them till to-morrow, Mary," said
+Chrissy.
+
+"I will _try_," said Mary, "but I think I do expect them to-day. And
+now let me think how many days it is before Christmas Eve will come.
+Yesterday we counted it was eleven days, so to-day it is ten. _Still_
+ten days."
+
+"But you know, Mary, we have plenty to do first," said her mamma. Mary
+nodded and smiled.
+
+Christmas Eve was the day they kept at the cottage; because Mary's
+papa and mamma always spent Christmas Day with grandmamma. She lived
+in a large old house, in a country town ten miles off. Everything in
+her house was clean and shining; the rooms smelt very sweet, and
+grandmamma was very kind, and let the children do whatever they liked;
+and her two maids were so good-natured, and petted them; and there
+were always such nice cakes, oranges, and jellies. Then, in the
+evenings there was sure to be a magic lantern, or a man to play the
+fiddle; in short, going to grandmamma's was a very great pleasure.
+
+Mary now asked her papa to come down to the pond, and give her another
+lesson in sliding. He came out, and as they ran along they found
+numbers of things to admire. Every blade of grass was fringed with the
+white frost-work, and the leaves of all the weeds that grew near the
+hedges looked quite pretty with their new trimming. But, above all,
+the mosses in the little wood that skirted the field were most lovely.
+When winter strips the trees of their leaves, then the little bright
+green mosses come and clothe the roots and stems, as if to do all they
+can to comfort them; and to-day they were sparkling all over, and
+seemed to be dressed out for some festival. Mary and her papa stopped
+before a weeping birch-tree, with the green moss growing on its
+silvery white stem. After admiring it for some time, they looked up at
+its branches that hung drooping over their heads. "How light and
+feathery they look," said Mary. "I think they are quite as pretty as
+in summer."
+
+"I think so too," said her papa. "I even think the birch more
+beautiful in winter than in summer; and all the trees show us the
+grandeur and beauty of their forms more when the leaves are gone.
+Look at their great sweeping branches."
+
+"Yes," said Mary, "and then all the little twigs look so pretty, and
+like lace-work."
+
+"And more than ever we must admire them," said her papa, "when we
+think that in every little bud at their tips lie the young leaves
+folded in, and safely shielded by this brown covering from the cold;
+but all ready to burst forth when the soft spring air and sunshine
+tell them it is time."
+
+Mary was delighted at this thought, and they spent a little while
+looking at the different buds, particularly those of the
+chestnut-trees, with their shining brown coats. Mary took great care
+not to break one off; she said, "It would be such a pity the little
+leaves should not feel the spring air, and come out in the sunshine."
+
+"But, O Chrissy, what a lovely bunch of jewelled leaves you have
+collected!" cried she. "O, yes, that branch in the middle will look
+pretty; it has managed to go on looking like coral, and to keep its
+diamonds, because it was so shaded. Now you will put the brown oak
+leaves, all shining. Here are some more; _do_ put these; and then the
+pretty little brown beech leaves glittering all over. It looks
+beautiful!"
+
+"How pretty the form of the oak leaves is," said Chrissy.
+
+"Now let us take it in to mamma," cried Mary.
+
+"But, remember," said Chrissy, "if we take it in all its charm will
+vanish. Here in the frosty air it looks as if it had been dressed up
+by the fairies, but in the warm room we should soon have nothing but a
+bare twig and a few withered leaves."
+
+Mary looked rather sad.
+
+"See," said Chrissy, "let us fasten it to the top of your mamma's
+favorite seat under the beech-tree; it will make a pretty ornament
+there."
+
+Now the sliding began. Mary's papa took hold of her hand and ran with
+her along the field, till they came to the edge of the pond; then away
+they went, sliding side by side. He kept tight hold of her hand; for
+she could not help tumbling down very often, because this was only the
+second time she had tried. Once they both very nearly had a tumble,
+for Bouncer came out, and ran bounding and barking by their side, and
+rushed on the ice with them; but he suddenly stopped short and
+barked, as if to say, "How is this? What makes the water so hard this
+morning?" and when he stopped they nearly tumbled over him, but they
+managed to keep up. After sliding till Mary's face looked like a
+rosy-cheeked apple, it was time to go in to lessons; and afterwards
+they took a walk, and saw some gentlemen and boys skating on the large
+pond on the Common.
+
+Just as Mary's mamma said they must go home, the London coach with its
+four horses came gayly along the hard frosty road along the Common. A
+boy on the top waved a red handkerchief, and Mary cried out, "That's
+Thomas; I know it is!" She was quite right, for the coach stopped, and
+aunt Mary and Willie got out, while Thomas slid down from the roof.
+They were soon shaking hands, giving kisses and kind welcomes, and all
+walked merrily up the lane, and had a very happy dinner.

+Then came what Mary called "happy time." This was the time when it
+grew dark, candles were brought, shutters and curtains closed, and
+they all collected round the tea-table, while the fire blazed, the
+kettle boiled, and everything looked bright and pleasant. This
+evening it seemed happier than ever; and next morning it was
+delightful to awake and remember who had come to the cottage, and to
+see the party at breakfast; and then to have Thomas and Willie to
+slide on the pond. Mary grew quite a brave slider before they were
+called in to dinner.
+
+When dinner was over, she asked her mamma whether they should not go
+on with nice work this evening? and her mamma said, "O, yes, they
+must, or they should not be ready." This "nice work" was preparing a
+number of presents, which were to be given away at Christmas. None of
+their friends had been forgotten. Mary was busy hemming, knitting,
+dressing dolls, and making pincushions; her mamma was also hard at
+work, and besides, was often cutting out and fixing, and had a village
+girl, who came almost every day for work, making frocks and different
+things; Chrissy was also busy making all kinds of pretty things.
+
+When aunt Mary heard of it, she said, "We are all at work in the same
+way. Thomas has brought his turning lathe, and a few tools that he
+has, and he and Willie are very busy about something." Thomas put his
+finger on his lips to show her that she must not tell what that
+something was, and Willie put his arms round her neck, and whispered
+something very mysteriously.
+
+"Chrissy and Mary have some secret too," said Mary's mamma, "they go
+into a room by themselves every day, and nobody must disturb them."
+
+At this they both laughed.
+
+"Well, we shall know about it all on Christmas Eve," said Mary, "and
+then, besides, we shall see somebody, mamma says; somebody that is
+coming here that we shall like very much, and that we know, and yet
+have never seen."
+
+"Is it a gentleman or lady?" asked Thomas.
+
+"A gentleman," said Mary; "I have guessed everybody I can think of,
+but I cannot find out."
+
+"Somebody we know, and yet have never seen," said Thomas; "who can it
+be?"

+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the

+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE

+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
