14. Lilie and the Scent.

Lilie's cousin had a bottle of scent given to her, and it had such a

pleasant smell that one day, when Lilie was alone in the room, she

thought she would like a little, so she unscrewed the stopper, and

sprinkled a few drops on her handkerchief. I do not suppose her cousin

would have been angry if she had known, but Lilie knew the scent was not

hers, and she was miserable the moment she had taken it, and had no

peace until she confessed the fault, and asked her cousin's

forgiveness. I wish Carl had felt like that about the piece of sugar; do

not you? Then he would never have taken the larger things, and been sent

to prison.
