Mrs. Bywaters's youngest son walked into Mrs. Blake's yard one morning with a letter. She was sitting in her parlour by an open window, sewing. He took off his cap and went to speak to her through the window: "Good day, Mrs. Blake. I brought a letter for you. Mother said it must have been slipped into the letter-box late last night, for she didn't find it till she was stamping the mail for the stage this morning. She thought it might be important, so she sent me down with it."
-"Thank you, Jonathan. That was real thoughtful of your mother."
