had some one to attend to these little
duties. @s
The sweetest part Of the day was early
twilight, when my uncles would come In.

events that happened during the day.
Grandma's dog. which she had named
Gala, was a great source OF pleasure
to her He would not be at homo much
during the day. because he loved to
roam the fields and woods. but when the
sun began to sink behind the western
hills Gala turned his steps homeward,
