Excerpt from The Monthly Packet of Evening Readings for Members of the English Church, Vol. 5: Parts XXV. To XXX., January-June, 1883
If poor Lily was discontented, the visit of these two more fortunate girls was not likely to make her less so. Hetty had her lover, and might be seen walking in Paradise. Conny was nearly always with Mrs. Bell, who patted and spoiled her thoroughly. They would sit talking for hours of their mutual hero, Charley, with his letters in their hands. Thus Mrs. Bell did not want the talk, or the reading, or even the company of Lily, who spent most of her time trudging to East marsh and back, the hot sun and other in¿uences making a worse muddle than ever in her poor little brain.
