Nelly sat beside her mother picking lint1, but while her fingers flew, her eyes often looked wistfully out into the meadow, golden with buttercups, and bright with sunshine.

"You may, but tell me first where will you have your hospital?'

"In my room, mamma; it is so snug8 and sunny, and I never should forget it there," said Nelly.
