/-/One day,=U--02 our little Harry spent*D1 the morning

(with his young playmate, )Johnny Crane,=ANA02 [JRwho lived*- (in

a fine house, )and (on Sundays )rode*- (to church )(in the

grandest carriage )to be seen=IAJ080 (in all the country )round.

]/-/[ALWhen Harry returned*- home,=U--01 ]he said,*D1 [DO"Mother,

Johnny has*D1 money (in both pockets!" )]/-/"Has*D0 he, dear?"

/F/"Yes,*E ma'am; /C/and he says*D1 [DOhe could get*D1 ever so

much more [ARif he wanted*D1 it." ]]/-/[DO"Well, now, that's*A1

very pleasant (for him," )]I returned,*D1 cheerfully, [ARas a

reply was plainly expected.*P ]/F/"Very*E pleasant; /C/don't you

think*D1 so?" /F/"Yes,*E ma'am; only" /F/"Only*E what, Harry?" /-

/"Why, he has*D4 a big popgun, and a watch, and a hobbyhorse, and

lots (of things." )/c/And Harry looked up at*D1 my face (with a

disconsolate stare. )/F/"Well,*E my boy, what (of that?"

)/F/"Nothing,*E mother," /C/and the telltale tears sprang*- (to

his eyes, )/-/"only I guess*D1 [DOwe are*A1 very poor, aren't*A0

we?" ]/-/"No, indeed, Harry, we are*- very far (from being=GOP021

)poor. /-/We are*A1 not so rich (as Mr. Crane's family, )[ARif

that is*N1 [PNwhat you mean."*D1 ]]/-/"O mother!" insisted*D1 the

little fellow, [DO"I do think*D1 [DOwe are*A1 very poor;

]]/C/anyhow, I am!"*A0 /-/"O Harry!" I exclaimed,*D1

reproachfully. /-/[DO"Yes, ma'am I am,"*A0 ]he sobbed;*D1 /C/"I

have*D1 scarcely anything- [IJI mean*D1 anything [JRthat's*A1

worth money-- ]](except things )to eat=IAJ020 and wear,=IAJ020

/C/and I'd have to have*D1 them anyway." /-/"Have to have them?"

I echoed,*D1 (at the same time )laying=P--161 my sewing (upon the

table, )[ARso that I might reason*- (with him )(on that point. )]!!!!!!!!
