Explore "Willie and Lucy Abroad" by Agnes Giberne on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
ONE DAY Willie and Lucy had been for one of their long rambles with Nurse. They were scrambling down a steep rough sledge-path, and Lucy had quite a bunch of pretty wild flowers in her hand, which they had been picking by the way. The two children walked in front, chattering as fast as those two little tongues very often did chatter, and Nurse came on behind them.
"It is only a fortnight now before we go home," said Willie. "Mamma told me so, and she said we had been here a month. Oh Lucy, how sorry I shall be to go! I do so like these mountains!"
