lied bravely. "But really you mustn't

Then she took the sweetmeats away
and put them out OF reach-as she
thought-on a shelf in her dressing

she imagined that would do the
trick; but early next morning she
heard a sound out on the landing, and.
going to see who was astir so early,
found Elsie trotting along the passage.

asked. "It's not six o'clock yet"
