Oh, Nell! see this picture!
gpt
Oh, Rob! look at this lovely bonnet!
human
Nell, this is the splendidest one of all.
gpt
This doll is bigger than Mary Pratt's: I know it is. Oh, Rob! don't you suppose it must have cost a lot of money?
human
Well, children, she said,
gpt
Oh, splendid, mamma, splendid! Let us get right up now,
human
No, said Mrs. March.
gpt
Rob must not get up yet: it is too cold; but you may get up, Nell, and help me get breakfast. Can you leave your new dolly?
human
Oh, yes, mamma! cried Nelly,
gpt
And laying the dolly carefully between the bed-clothes with her head on the pillow, she kissed her, and said,
human
Good-by, dear Josephine Harriet: you won't be very long alone. I will come back soon.
gpt
What a name! he said, mimicking Nelly.
human
Josephine Harriet! whoever heard such a name?
gpt
I think it's a real pretty name, Rob, replied Nelly.
human
Boys don't know any thing about dolls names. Besides, she is named for two people: Josephine is for that poor, dear, beautiful Empress that mamma told us about; I've always thought since then if ever I had a doll handsome enough, I'd name her after her. And Harriet is after Hatty Pratt. I love Hatty dearly, and she's named two dolls after me.
gpt
Well, I shall call the doll the Empress, then,
human
Yes; so shall I, replied Nelly:
gpt
I thought of that. It will sound very nice.
human
The Empress.
gpt
No: I think I'll call her Mrs. Napoleon,
human
Well, said Nelly,
gpt
I suppose that would do, --Nelly had not the least idea that Rob was making fun of her,--

I say, Nell, tell mamma I don't want any breakfast. I'd rather stay in bed and read this story.
