and ducks and geese, came running round her, crowing and
clucking, and quacking, and cackling, and the pigeons flew down and
helped to eat, and all of them pecked up the corn, as fast as they could.
In the afternoon they had boiled potatoes and sopped bread and
vegetables, and curd, too, if Sally had been making whey.
When Sally had done all this, she went back into her room, and opened
the bed curtains; and there was lying a little rosy-cheeked girl with light
curly hair. And when Sally looked at her, she opened two large blue
eyes, and held out her arms, and Sally kissed her, and said, "Are you
ready to get up, little Annie?" And she said, "Yes." This was Sally's
little sister, that her kind mistress let her have with her to love and take
care of.
Then Sally took up little Annie, and got a large brown pan for her bath,
and stood her in it, and brought a jug of fresh cold water to pour over
her.
Little Annie stood very still, but when the water was coming, she held
up her hands and said, "Will it be cold?"
"O, no!" said Sally; "it's a beautiful warm morning." Then she washed
and dressed little Annie, and afterwards they had their breakfast
together in a nice comfortable kitchen. Sally had a good appetite after
having been so busy, and little Annie had a large basin of boiled bread
and milk, and she always gave some to Trusty. This was the end of the
little Milk-maid's morning work.
