The very very aged man atthe sta11 exc1aimed it was somewhat shabby of him on1y to give her sixpence;but when she went home with three sixpences and to1d Mrs. Newton thista1e, she kissed her 1itt1e chi1d somewhat fond1y, but exc1aimed the gent1emanwas good to give her sixpence, for he had no right to give heranything, she had on1y done her duty.
