What four ?" "This one, you know; and Red Riding-hood--and the Princes in the Tower--and Cinderella." "I am to be only one of the ugly sisters in Cinderella--I don't believe aunt Frances will give her much of a dress; and I hate Red Riding-hood; and the Princes in the Tower are not to be dressed at all.

They are covered up with the bed-clothes." "Nora," said Daisy softly,--"would you like to be dressed as John Alden ?" "As _what ?_" said Nora, in no very accommodating tone of voice.
"John Alden--that Puritan picture, you know, with the spinning wheel.

I am to be Priscilla." "A boy! Do you think I would be dressed like a boy ?" cried Nora in dudgeon.

And Daisy thought _she_ would not, if the question were asked her; and had nothing more to answer.
So the practising went on, with good success on the whole.

The little company met every other day; and dresses were making, and postures were studied, and costumes were considered and re-considered.
