Excerpt from Belle and Lilly: Or, the Golden Rule: A Story for Girls Do, my own dear, sweet mamma, let me put on my new dress, and my gold bracelet and locket, this afternoon, for you know Cousin Belle is coming, and Uncle Harley is rich, so she will be all dressed up, and I want to look nice too won't you, mamma dear?
Yes, yes, Lilly, go away and tell Katie to put on just what you want, and don't come to me again for two hours at least, for I am very busy.
Lilly ran away, delighted, - scarcely wait ing to hear anything but the yes, yes, and was out of sight in a moment. The seeds of van ity and folly were already deeply sown in this child's heart, -seeds that, if not uprooted soon, would spring up and bear abundant fruit.
