Kitty, don't you want to go to prayer-meeting up at the church?
gpt
I'd like to, Tip, but I don't look decent to go anywhere. I've only this dress and my old hood.
human
I wouldn't mind that, said Tip.
gpt
I've only this awful old jacket either, but I mean to go. Hurry up the dishes, and let's go.
human
Well, said Kitty at last,
gpt
I _will_; but what will mother say?
human
I'll fix that. And Tip stepped softly into the bedroom.
gpt
Are you better to-night, father?
human
Not much better, I guess. How's arithmetic to-day?
gpt
First-rate; Mr. Burrows said I was getting ahead fast. Mother, may Kitty go out with me to-night? I'm going up to the church to prayer-meeting.
