+GOODY TWO-SHOES.
+
+
+Farmer Meanwell was at one time a very rich man. He owned large fields,
+and had fine flocks of sheep, and plenty of money. But all at once his
+good fortune seemed to desert him. Year after year his crops failed, his
+sheep died off, and he was obliged to borrow money to pay his rent and
+the wages of those who worked on the farm.
+
+At last he had to sell his farm, but even this did not bring him in
+money enough to pay his debts, and he was worse off than ever.
+
+Among those who had lent money to Farmer Meanwell were Sir Thomas Gripe,
+and a Farmer named Graspall.
+
+Sir Thomas was a very rich man indeed, and Farmer Graspall had more
+money than he could possibly use. But they were both very greedy and
+covetous, and particularly hard on those who owed them anything. Farmer
+Graspall abused Farmer Meanwell and called him all sorts of dreadful
+names; but the rich Sir Thomas Gripe was more cruel still, and wanted
+the poor debtor shut up in jail.
+
+So poor Farmer Meanwell had to hasten from the place where he had lived
+for so many years, in order to get out of the way of these greedy men.
+
+He went to the next village, taking his wife and his two little children
+with him. But though he was free from Gripe and Graspall he was not free
+from trouble and care.
+
+He soon fell ill, and when he found himself unable to get food and
+clothes for his family, he grew worse and worse and soon died.
+
+His wife could not bear the loss of her husband, whom she loved so
+dearly, and in a few days she was dead.
+
+The two orphan children seemed to be left entirely alone in the world,
+with no one to look after them, or care for them, but their Heavenly
+Father.
+
+They trotted around hand in hand, and the poorer they became the more
+they clung to each other. Poor, ragged, and hungry enough they were!
+
+Tommy had two shoes, but Margery went barefoot. They had nothing to eat
+but the berries that grew in the woods, and the scraps they could get
+from the poor people in the village, and at night they slept in barns or
+under hay-stacks.
+
+Their rich relations were too proud to notice them. But Mr. Smith, the
+clergyman of the village where the children were born, was not that sort
+of a man. A rich relation came to visit him--a kind-hearted
+gentleman--and the clergyman told him all about Tommy and Margery. The
+kind gentleman pitied them, and ordered Margery a pair of shoes and gave
+Mr. Smith money to buy her some clothes, which she needed sadly. As for
+Tommy he said he would take him off to sea with him and make him a
+sailor. After a few days, the gentleman said he must go to London and
+would take Tommy with him, and sad was the parting between the two
+children.
+
+Poor Margery was very lonely indeed, without her brother, and might have
+cried herself sick but for the new shoes that were brought home to her.
+
+[Illustration: The Orphans]
+
+They turned her thoughts from her grief; and as soon as she had put
+them on she ran in to Mrs. Smith and cried out: "Two shoes, ma'am, two
+shoes!" These words she repeated to every one she met, and thus it was
+she got the name of Goody Two Shoes.
+
+[Illustration: Two Shoes, Ma'am. Two Shoes.]
+
+Little Margery had seen how good and wise Mr. Smith was, and thought it
+was because of his great learning; and she wanted, above all things, to
+learn to read. At last she made up her mind to ask Mr. Smith to teach
+her when he had a moment to spare. He readily agreed to do this, and
+Margery read to him an hour every day, and spent much time with her
+books.
+
+Then she laid out a plan for teaching others more ignorant than herself.
+She cut out of thin pieces of wood ten sets of large and small letters
+of the alphabet, and carried these with her when she went from house to
+house. When she came to Billy Wilson's she threw down the letters all in
+a heap, and Billy picked them out and sorted them in lines, thus:
+
+  A  B  C  D  E  F  G  H  I  J  K,
+  a  b  c  d  e  f  g  h  i  j  k,
+
+and so on until all the letters were in their right places.
+
+From there Goody Two Shoes trotted off to another cottage, and here were
+several children waiting for her. As soon as the little girl came in
+they all crowded around her, and were eager to begin their lessons at
+once.
+
+Then she threw the letters down and said to the boy next her, "What did
+you have for dinner to-day?" "Bread," answered the little boy. "Well,
+put down the first letter," said Goody Two Shoes. Then he put down B,
+and the next child R, and the next E, and the next A, and the next D,
+and there was the whole word--BREAD.
+
+"What did you have for dinner, Polly Driggs?"
+
+"Apple-pie," said Polly; upon which she laid down the first letter, A,
+and the next put down a P, and the next another P, and so on until the
+words Apple and Pie were united, and stood thus: APPLE PIE.
+
+Now it happened one evening that Goody Two Shoes was going home rather
+late. She had made a longer round than usual, and everybody had kept her
+waiting, so that night came on before her day's work was done. Right
+glad was she to set out for her own home, and she walked along
+contentedly through the fields, and lanes, and roads, enjoying the quiet
+evening. The evening was not cool, however, but close and sultry, and
+betokened a storm. Presently a drop fell on Goody's face. What should
+she do? If she did not make haste she would soon be wet to the skin.
+
+Fortunately there was an old barn down the road, in which she could find
+shelter, and Goody Two Shoes gathered her skirts about her and took to
+her heels, and ran as if somebody was after her. The owner of the barn
+had died lately, and the property was to be sold, and there was a lot of
+loose hay on the floor which had not yet been taken away.
+
+Goody Two Shoes cuddled down in the soft hay, glad of a chance to rest
+her weary limbs, and quite out of breath with her long run; and just
+then down rattled the rain, the thunder roared, the lightning flashed,
+and the old barn trembled, and so did Goody Two Shoes.
+
+[Illustration: The spelling Lesson]
+
+She had not been there long before she heard footsteps, and three men
+came into the barn for shelter. The hay was piled up between her and
+them, so that they could not see her, and, thinking they were alone,
+they spoke quite loudly.
+
+[Illustration: Plotting to rob Squire Trueman]
+
+They were plotting to rob Squire Trueman, who lived in the great house
+in Margery's village, and were to break in and steal all they could that
+very night. This was quite enough for Goody Two Shoes. She waited for
+nothing, but dashed out of the barn, and ran through rain and mud till
+she came to the Squire's house.
+
+He was at dinner with some friends, and any one else but Goody would
+have found it difficult to gain admission to him. But she was well known
+to the servants, and was so kind and obliging, that even the big fat
+butler could not refuse to do her bidding, and went and told the squire
+that Goody Two Shoes wished very much to see him.
+
+So the squire asked his friends to excuse him for a moment, and came out
+and said, "Well, Goody Two Shoes, my good girl, what is it?" "Oh, sir,"
+she replied, "if you do not take care you will be robbed and murdered
+this very night!"
+
+Then she told all she had heard the men say while she was in the barn.
+
+The squire saw there was not a moment to lose, so he went back and told
+his friends the news he had heard. They all said they would stay and
+help him take the thieves. So the lights were put out, to make it appear
+as if all the people in the house were in bed, and servants and all kept
+a close watch both inside and outside.
+
+Sure enough, at about one o'clock in the morning the three men came
+creeping, creeping up to the house with a dark lantern, and the tools to
+break in with. Before they were aware, six men sprang out on them, and
+held them fast. The thieves struggled in vain to get away. They were
+locked in an out-house until daylight, when a cart came and took them
+off to jail.
+
+They were afterward sent out of the country, where they had to work in
+chains on the roads; and it is said that one of them behaved so well
+that he was pardoned, and went to live at Australia, where he became a
+rich man.
+
+The other two went from bad to worse, and it is likely that they came to
+some dreadful end. For sin never goes unpunished.
+
+But to return to Goody Two Shoes. One day as she was walking through the
+village she saw some wicked boys with a raven, at which they were going
+to throw stones. To stop this cruel sport she gave the boys a penny for
+the raven, and brought the bird home with her. She gave him the name of
+"Ralph," and he proved to be a very clever creature indeed. She taught
+him to spell, and to read, and he was so fond of playing with the large
+letters, that the children called them "Ralph's Alphabet."
+
+Some days after Goody had met with the raven, she was passing through a
+field, when she saw some naughty boys who had taken a pigeon, and tied a
+string to its legs in order to let it fly and draw it back again when
+they pleased.
+
+Goody could not bear to see anything tortured like that, so she bought
+the pigeon from the boys and taught him how to spell and read. But he
+could not talk. And as Ralph, the raven, took the large letters, Peter,
+the pigeon, took care of the small ones.
+
+[Illustration: Goody warns the Squire]
+
+Mrs. Williams, who lived in Margery's village, kept school, and taught
+little ones their A B C's. She was now old and feeble, and wanted to
+give up this important trust.
+
+[Illustration: Brother and Sister]
+
+This being known to Sir William Dove, he asked Mrs. Williams to examine
+Goody Two Shoes and see if she was not clever enough for the office.
+This was done, and Mrs. Williams reported that little Margery was the
+best scholar, and had the best heart of any one she had ever examined.
+All the country had a great opinion of Mrs. Williams, and this report
+made them think highly of Miss MARGERY, as we must now call her.
+
+So Margery Meanwell was now a schoolmistress, and a capital one she
+made. The children all loved her, for she was never weary of making
+plans for their happiness.
+
+The room in which she taught was large and lofty, and there was plenty
+of fresh air in it; and as she knew that children liked to move about,
+she placed her sets of letters all round the school, so that every one
+was obliged to get up to find a letter, or spell a word, when it came
+their turn.
+
+This exercise not only kept the children in good health, but fixed the
+letters firmly in their minds.
+
+The neighbors were very good to her, and one of them made her a present
+of a little skylark, whose early morning song told the lazy boys and
+girls that it was time they were out of bed.
+
+Some time after this a poor lamb lost its dam, and the farmer being
+about to kill it, she bought it of him, and brought it home to play with
+the children.
+
+Soon after this a present was made to Miss Margery of a dog, and as he
+was always in good humor, and always jumping about, the children gave
+him the name of Jumper. It was his duty to guard the door, and no one
+could go out or come in without leave from his mistress.
+
+Margery was so wise and good that some foolish people accused her of
+being a witch, and she was taken to court and tried before the judge.
+She soon proved that she was a most sensible woman, and Sir Charles
+Jones was so pleased with her, that he offered her a large sum of money
+to take care of his family, and educate his daughter. At first she
+refused, but afterwards went and behaved so well, and was so kind and
+tender, that Sir Charles would not permit her to leave the house, and
+soon after made her an offer of marriage.
+
+The neighbors came in crowds to the wedding, and all were glad that one
+who had been such a good girl, and had grown up such a good woman, was
+to become a grand lady.
+
+Just as the clergyman had opened his book, a gentleman, richly dressed,
+ran into the church and cried, "Stop! stop!"
+
+Great alarm was felt, especially by the bride and groom, with whom he
+said he wished to speak privately.
+
+Sir Charles stood motionless with surprise, and the bride fainted away
+in the stranger's arms. For this richly-dressed gentleman turned out to
+be little Tommy Meanwell, who had just come from sea, where he had made
+a large fortune.
+
+Sir Charles and Lady Jones lived very happily together, and the great
+lady did not forget the children, but was just as good to them as she
+had always been. She was also kind and good to the poor, and the sick,
+and a friend to all who were in distress. Her life was a great blessing,
+and her death the greatest calamity that ever took place in the
+neighborhood where she lived, and was known as
+
+                             GOODY TWO SHOES.

+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
