"Pussy, Pussy! Come here, Puss."

Maurice Gray, with his queer little Scotch Terrier, Toby

Maurice fills the Syringe and sets to work

Timidly walking up to the door Bryda tapped gently

And where the water fell this Spring rose up

For a whole week there were Games

The Fairy came flying over the Town

"Little Boy," said Bryda shyly, "where do you live?"

"Our Father," Bryda prayed, "let me help Beppo."

Tom, who had now become a Poet

Bryda after looking around for Beppo, seized the Cat

Bryda and Beppo amuse themselves walking about the Field

Only one word, too--"Speranza."

Bryda appeared to have thrown the Reading Book to the other end of the room

Bryda called to the old woman, who laughed and shook her fist

Bryda laughed, and then looked solemn
