There were only three, by which I mean to say, only three of us on the same social level, for though we all visited at the Park, and knew the Tauties Gresham, they did not count for much in our lives, and besides were often away. To the farmers daughters and the village people, of course, we did good.

We three, then, were sitting on the stile out- Chemists and Druggists, High elus Aern-ide Coop 's Wond, talking about out spring clothes. For it was a cold, suashing day in tod Waters, Dealers in Photographic April, and we had been picking primroses and

Sometimes we took each other into Longford in the donkey cart. We tried experiments in making sakes, and atted each other to tea to eat then.

We didn't know we were "great friends" to each other. We were only sisters, because I never had a sister, but we were certainly like schoolfellows, quarrelsome and affectionate, and critical, and intimate-as girls
