Explore "David's Little Lad" by L.T. Meade on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I had not forgotten my promise to visit Nan on the day her brother first went down into the mine.
I selected a bundle of illustrated papers -- some old copies of _Punch_ -- as, judging from the delight I took in them myself, I hoped they would make little Nan laugh. I also put a sixpenny box of paints into my pocket. These sixpenny paint-boxes were the most delightful things the Tynycymmer children had ever seen, so, doubtless, they would look equally nice in the eyes of Nan.
