Excerpt from The Boys and I: A Child's Story for Children

And little Racey had fallen asleep too, lying at the foot of my bed. He hadn't been kept away from us because of what Tom called the affection of the measles, for the old doctor said he had better get it too and have it over. But he didn't get it, and if ever I have children I shall not do that way with them. I'll try and keep them from having any illnesses at all, for I don't believe we're forced to have them. I think mother thought so too, but she didn't like to contradict the doctor; because he was so old she thought he must know best. And after all it didn't matter, as Racey didn't get the measles. I really must try to go straight ou - I keep going back when other things come into my head, so it isn't so easy to write things down nicely as I thought it was.

Excerpt from The Boys and I: A Child's Story for Children

I shall never forget the dayi heard about papa's going away. I keep saying papa's going away, because you see it had to do with him, but it was even worse than his going, though that would have been bad enough. It was just as we were getting better of the measles, and we had been very happy all day, for mother had been telling us stories, and we had had quite a feast tea - sponge-cakes and ladies' bread and butter; and I had poured out the tea, for mother had put a little table on purpose close to my bed, and Racey had been the footman to wait upon Tom and give him all he wanted, as the table wasn't so near his bed as mine. Tom had fallen asleep - poor Torn, he had had the measles worse than I. I am so awfully strong, even though I'm only a girl, and boys always think themselves stronger.10 the boys and I.
