"If Lily Norris isn't just the most provoking child that ever lived!" said Maggie Bradford, indignantly.
"Yes, I b'lieve she just is," assented Bessie.
"Why," said Mrs. Rush, who was that day making a visit to Maggie's and Bessie's mamma, "how is this? Lily the most provoking child that ever lived! I thought Lily was one of your best friends, and that you were so fond of her."
"Yes, Aunt May, so we are," said Maggie. "We're very fond of Lily indeed; she's one of our dearly beloveds, and we like to have her with us; but for all that, she's very trying to our patience."
"Yes," sighed Bessie, "I think she's tryinger than any child we know; and yet she's hardly ever naughty, -really naughty, I mean."
"How does she try you?" asked Mrs. Rush, though she believed she could herself have answered as to the cause of complaint.
