Where have you been? 6 The poor boy was evidently in the last stage of consumption. 6 She wrapped her ragged «ha\^l tdoser round the dying boy. 7 “ Only a penny, Sir, jilease give me a penny.** 8 What were you going to say ? ” asked the Mission Lady. 9 ‘-Hark! that’s my poor Dickey coughing.” 10 The room was quiH empty ^scept for the poor boy, “who lay there in sore need of aid. 11 She soaked a morsel in the broth and put it into Dickey’s mouth. 12 ** I can’t leave she said, ^‘he’s such a little felllow, it would never do for him to be left.” l3He was very weak, poor little fellow, and glad of Neddie’s help in raising the tea cup to bis lips. 14 She poured a heap of pennies iirto her lap. 15 “ I’m Dick©y'’8 relation, Mtss Gray, I’m going to see him.
