Oh, and the money! Here is the account-book--" "How neatly you have kept it, Ethel." "Ah! it was for you, you know.

Receipts--see, aren't you surprised ?" "Four pounds eighteen and eightpence! That is a great deal!" "The three guineas were Mr.Rivers's fees, you know; then, Margaret gave us half-a-sovereign, and Mary a shilling, and there was one that we picked up, tumbling about the house, and papa said we might have, and the twopence were little Blanche's savings.

"That is all I could save this term," he said.
"Oh, it is famous! Now, I do think I may put another whole sovereign away into the purse for the church.
