LUCY MAKES FRIENDS WITH HER COUSIN BELLA. "Edgar's punishment was rigorously carried out. At first he pretended to himself that he did not care for it, and was disposed to bring up obstinacy to struggle with his aunt's determination. But he knew which would gain the victory at last; and as day after day passed away heavily in his seclusion, without intercourse with any of those around him, and with no means of passing the time otherwise than either in preparing his lessons or in desperate idleness, his resolution gave way. Meanwhile Lucy made some progress in acquaintance with her Cousin Bella. "I mean to like you, cousin, though you are prettier than I am," said Bella, one day, after Lucy had been endeavouring for more than an hour to amuse her. "Oh, Bella, darling, what a strange thing to say," said Lucy, laughing good-humouredly. "No, it is not; it is not at all a strange thing," replied Bella, sharply, "and if you say So again I won't like you. You know you are prettier than I," she went on; "nurse says so, and so does Mary." "I wish they had not said so, I am sure, and you must not think anything about it; don't, dear." "How can I help it when I hear it said every day? They told me you would be, before you came; and directly I saw you I knew it, and I hated you for it." "Oh, darling; I am so sorry to hear this." "Why? It is the truth." "But it is so sad to hate anybody, dear cousin. The Bible tells us to love one another, you know." "No, I don't know--at least, I don't know much about it. But I don't hate you now, Lucy. I think I shall love you: I mean to do it, though you are pretty and I am so ugly. Don't you know that I am?" she demanded, passionately. "No, darling," said Lucy. "How dare you say so, when everybody says I am? No, aunt does not." 184pp.CONDITION: Covers have expected wear for a book this age. Small amount of damage to the back gutter, but binding is tight.
