Well, you know when Lucy Wendal
enmo to me, she was a little demure thing
not a Deadly, but so comely and tidy that
she wus a pretty resting-place" for .tho-cye
of old or young. She was as great a con.
trnst to the other girls in the work shop as
white to black. She just sot quiet in one
corner, and minded her work and took no
part in their gabbling. You must know
what a parcel of girls is, ma'am, dinging
from morning to night like forty thousand
chioiney swallows. Lucy wos very differ,
ent. She made herself neat and trig in the
morning and did not Idse half ah hour at
rfoon, when the 'prentice boys were com.
jug to dinner) twitching out curl papers and
iuibt'lowifig her hair. The boys and girls
used to have their jokes about herjttnd call
her Ihe little parson ; but she only preach,

tle master-work man with her needle. (
never had a match for her since I first be
gan business ; but -(yoU- know, ma'am,
there's always a but in this.jjfe,) she gave
me great oflonce. She crossed me where 1
could least bear it.'
