[Gutenberg 52572] • Stories of a Governess

Excerpt from Stories of a Governess

There was a wistful look in the little faces, and a yearning for love in the little hearts all unsatisfied, since the good mother had gone to rest; but none, even down to little Rosie, had forgotten the prayers she had taught them, nor to lift, night and morning, their innocent hands to the all-father.

And now Tan had risen, snuffed about, gone from one child to another, pattering about on his soft paws, saying, good night to all. He sprang noiselessly upon the sofa, by Rosie's head, and taking in his mouth a beautiful white kitten lying there, carried it off to his basket in-the corner.
