Explore "Little Miss Peggy" by Mary Louisa Molesworth on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
"O reader! had you in your mind / Such stores as silent thought can bring, / O gentle reader! you would find / A tale in everything. / What more I have to say is short, / And you must kindly take it: / It is no tale; but, should you think, / Perhaps a tale you'll make it. " / W. WORDSWORTH.
"TELLING stories," when the teller is only five and some months old, and the hearers one and a quarter and three, is rather a curious performance. But Peggy was well used to it, and when in good spirits quite able to battle with the difficulties of amusing Hal and Baby at the same time. And these difficulties were not small, for, compared with Baby, Hal was really "grown-up."
