Come along, quick."
"Good-bye," she said to her new friends. "Thank you ever so much for
being so kind, and for the supper.
"I am coming to have supper with you again soon, and then I will bring
the new baby with me. You will give me and baby bread and butter with
sugar on it, won't you?" and Meg trotted off as happy as a little
queen.

JOCK AND I AND THE OTHERS
First of all, I must tell you who I am.
My name is PE-NEL-O-PE, but Jock always calls me Pen. I am eight years
old; Jock is half-past six.
We live with mother and father and Rover and Tibby in a house not very
far from a large city.
Mother is the nicest person I know in all the world.
Father is a very big man. He always has lots of money in his pocket.
He goes to business in a train every day.
We have a real farm, quite near to our house, where they keep cows,
chickens, pigs, horses, and geese. Jock and I often go to see them
all.
One day in summer we went to see the farmer. I had my blue dress on,
so that the cows would not be angry when they saw me.
We met the farmer near the stable. "Come," he said; "I have something
to show you to-day."
"What is it?" we said both at the same time.
