I think it must be very pleasant for three little sisters to go to
school to a dear grandma. Mammy was quite tricksy when she broke your
cup and saucer, whether she knows any tricks or not. I am always very
much pleased when I hear that little girls are learning to sew. Do you
know that thimble used to be called thumb-bell, and that those clever
people the Dutch brought thumb-bells to England with them in 1605?
Finger-cap would be a pretty name for the tiny thimble which, no doubt,
fits Bettie's rosy finger-tip to a T.
