If Lily Norris isn't just the most provoking child that ever lived!" said Maggie Bradford, indignantly. "Yes, I believe she just is, " assented Bessie. "Why, " said Mrs. Rush, who was that day making a visit to Maggie's and Bessie's mamma, "how is this? Lily was the most provoking child that ever lived! I thought Lily was one of your best friends, and that you were so fond of her." "Yes, Aunt May, so we are, " said Maggie. "We're very fond of Lily indeed, she's one of our dear beloveds, and we like to have her with us, but for all that, she's very trying to our patience." "Yes, " sighed Bessie, "I think she's trying than any child we know, and yet she's hardly ever naughty, -really naughty, I mean." "How does she try you?" asked Mrs. Rush, though she believed she could herself have answered as to the cause of complaint.
