Next day Eliza went out with two of the little children.

It was in the early afternoon, and the sun shone brightly.

Eliza had an errand down the street, but every one knows that one does not progress very fast on an errand with a toddler of two years at one's side.

Eliza sauntered, giving soothing answers to the little one's treble remarks, and only occasionally exerting herself to keep the liveliness of her older charge in check.

Eliza liked the children and the sunshine and the road.
