A spinster of about forty years or bit more recently had house to rent. Now her last tenant had three healthy American sons and they had done great deal of damage to the house, so she had firmly declared that she would tolerate no children this time.

Summers Spoiled Skin

As undue summer exposure usually

a tiny voice say to him:

the door she nibbled away at the
wooden lock and by and by Puss was
able to open the door. And then he

the little mouse nibbled the lock on that

didn't wake up until Puss knocked on
his door with a big stick.

lovely lady he said:
