Jane Hudson the American Girl, or Exert Yourself (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Jane Hudson the American Girl, or Exert Yourself<br><br>"Have you put your clean clothes away, Jane"<br><br>"Yes, mother, as nicely as can be, and nothing wanted mending."<br><br>"Well, now you may take off your plaid frock, and sit down and try to patch the elbow," said she.<br><br>"Oh, mother, not now," I said, in a very beseeching tone. "I have such a beautiful book to read, Cornelia Gordon lent me! She said she never stirred till she finished it. It is a wonder the baby was left to her care; but she let him cry in the cradle, till he cried it out. It is beautiful, mother!" and I pressed the book to my bosom.<br><br>"Go and change your dress, my dear," repeated my mother.<br><br>"Oh, it is so pleasant! and pleasant Wednesday afternoons do not often come," said I, pushing up the window, and observing the state of the weather. "I do not want to patch; I would rather walk, mother."<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
