 Emily very soon learned to be perfectly at home with us. She seemed wind her. self about the hearts of my father and mother, and as for, ,Lonise-Louise would have walked over burning plough-shares to do her service. I liked her about half the
 time, and the other half felt like teasing her. She would grow so white and terri fled when sprang otit at her from behind curtains or doors. More than ever I.wish- ed that had fairy power, to change my self into all sorts of shapes, "a tiny flea to hop into her ear, yellow snake to twiae myself in her, curls. !. mouse to run over her pillow, or an elf in her desk to open her letters! ,e She was such an absurd COW. ard. But being four feet high and not a fairy, could only find my wicked pleas ure in annoying her by constant surveil- ance and sudden starts. She seemed afraid to be angry with me. and never. exposed me. Perhaps her conscience made her un- easy, for my dear innocent hearted Louiso never was startled or terrified by her dwarf Charlie's tricks, sp4Az st f,4 e,.. F ,.

 Spring came, and our mother commenc- ed house cleaning on q grand scale, every room was visited, secured, and painted. and the furniture re-arran ged. How she made the servants fly about! Every one wished it we'll at an end; every one but me; I found too much fun in it. Irolled over on mattresses; made nests to curl myself up among the heaps of blankets; revelled in hidden relics brought to light; perched myself on cupboard, shelves; read Gulli- yers Travels undisturbed in the pantry by a far of sweetmeats: and dozen times, nearly tripped up our portly butler as he was crrrying loaded trays up stairs. When the raid extended to the sitting arooms, T found unanticipated pleasure. The statu- cites of bronze and marblen had always looked at each other so annoyed from, their different corners that it provoked me. I had read somewhere in. a German story. of a house where the China figures of g shep- herdess and a chimney-sweepm made love to each other when no one was in the room, and finally ran off together. 2 I was always hoping something of the kind might hap pen in our art collection, andInnow, when all the casts and figures were setri down in a crowd on the great centre table is really seemed as if they could not keep silence. At night, when every one had gone to their rooms, whim seized me to creep softly down stairs, and peep into the drawing. room to see what was going on among the bronzes and marbles The moonlight lay across the table, Yand Clytie unchanged never breathed or moved, though a bronze. Pan made mute music on his pipes before her.as motionless as she. Faust did not kiss. Marguerite; and Mercory, poised a4on. one toe. did not catch at the chance to the ether foot.
