May and Kate and Lou and wee Tom-my have been sit-ting by the fire in
the nur-se-ry for the last hour look-ing through their books. But now
the books have all been put on the shelf and nurse has made them ready
for bed. Mam-ma has come up, as she al-ways does, to hear their pray-ers
and have a short chat with them af-ter they are tuck-ed up in their
cribs. The chat has to be short, for these lit-tle peo-ple fall a-sleep
in no time.
