"There, there, don't feel so bad, Prissy," said Mr. Starbird. "It must belong to some child at the hotel. We will stop and see as we go home." 4. Prissy was an honest little girl, and she tried not to cry any more. It was nearly a mile to the hotel, and Prissy hugged the water dolly very close and kissed her a great many times. 5. As they drove up to the piazza a boy was standing near, and Mr. Starbird asked him if any little girl had lost her doll. "Yes, that's Nelly Hunt's doll," said the boy. "I'll go and find her." 6. In a few minutes a little girl and her mother came out on the piazza. Prissy held out the doll without a word. 7. "Where in the world did you find her?" asked the lady. "And you have been crying. Did you wish she was yours?" "Yes 'm," said Prissy shyly. The lady smiled and looked at the little girl, who said quickly, "Yes, indeed, mamma." 8. "Nelly would like to give you the dolly," said Mrs. Hunt. "She left her out on the rocks. I hope you will not be such a careless mamma as she was." 9. "Haven't you any dolls of your own?" said Nelly. "I have six others." "No," said Prissy, "only one made of a corncob. Oh, I think you are so good!" 10. In the afternoon Prissy took her doll down to her playhouse by the great rock. The sun shone and Prissy was very happy. The water dolly looked happy too, as if she felt quite at home. „ x Sarah Orne Jewett. Adapted.
