53. The Bunch of Roses.

"I flew to the Kindergarten," said "Thoughtful," "you know Davie used to

attend there before he was ill. Of course no one saw me, and as I

hovered over the teacher's desk, little Bessie, a rosy-cheeked maid,

came up and laid a lovely bunch of crimson roses upon it for the

teacher. The scent was so delicious I could not help nestling down into

one of the roses to enjoy it better. The teacher picked up the flowers,

not knowing I was there, and as she buried her face in the soft petals,

to smell the sweet perfume, I whispered 'Send them to Davie'."

"A smile instantly came over her face, and she said: 'Bessie, a good

fairy has whispered a kind thought to me; shall we send your pretty

roses to Davie?'"

"'Oh! yes,' said Bessie, 'please let me take them to him with your love,

for I gave them to you."

"So the roses were taken to Davie, and how happy they made him to be

sure! and the =teacher= was happy because she had remembered poor Davie,

and =Bessie= was happy to carry the flowers to him, so I came away glad,

also; but what have =you= done, dear sister?"
