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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>Among those who had lent money to Farmer Meanwell were Sir Thomas Gripe, +and a Farmer named Graspall.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>His wife could not bear the loss of her husband, whom she loved so +dearly, and in a few days she was dead.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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!</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<div class="figcenter"> + <a href="images/img04.jpg"><img + src="images/img04-tb.jpg" width="286" height="400" + alt="The Orphans" /></a><br /> + <b>The Orphans</b> + </div> + +<p>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.</p> + + +<div class="figcenter"> + <a href="images/img05.jpg"><img + src="images/img05-tb.jpg" width="282" height="400" + alt="The Orphans" /></a><br /> + <b>Two Shoes, Ma'am. Two Shoes.</b> + </div> + + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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:</p> + + + +<div class='centered'> +<table border="0" cellpadding="2" width="50%" cellspacing="0" summary="large and small letters +of the alphabet"> +<tr><td align='left'>A</td><td align='left'>B</td><td align='left'>C</td><td align='left'>D</td><td align='left'>E</td><td align='left'>F</td><td align='left'>G</td><td align='left'>H</td><td align='left'>I</td><td align='left'>J</td><td align='left'>K,</td></tr> +<tr><td align='left'>a</td><td align='left'>b</td><td align='left'>c</td><td align='left'>d</td><td align='left'>e</td><td align='left'>f</td><td align='left'>g</td><td align='left'>h</td><td align='left'>i</td><td align='left'>j</td><td align='left'>k,</td></tr> +</table></div> + + +<p>and so on until all the letters were in their right places.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>"What did you have for dinner, Polly Driggs?"</p> + +<p>"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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<div class="figcenter"> + <a href="images/img08.jpg"><img + src="images/img08-tb.jpg" width="290" height="400" + alt="The spelling Lesson" /></a><br /> + <b>The spelling Lesson</b> + </div> + + +<p>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.</p> + +<div class="figcenter"> + <a href="images/img09.jpg"><img + src="images/img09-tb.jpg" width="287" height="400" + alt="Plotting to rob Squire Trueman" /></a><br /> + <b>Plotting to rob Squire Trueman</b> + </div> + + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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!"</p> + +<p>Then she told all she had heard the men say while she was in the barn.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>The other two went from bad to worse, and it is likely that they came to +some dreadful end. For sin never goes unpunished.</p> + +<p>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."</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<div class="figcenter"> + <a href="images/img012.jpg"><img + src="images/img012-tb.jpg" width="284" height="400" + alt="Goody warns the Squire" /></a><br /> + <b>Goody warns the Squire</b> + </div> + + + +<p>Mrs. Williams, who lived in Margery's village, kept school, and taught +little ones their A B C's.

The children all loved her, for she was never weary of making +plans for their happiness.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>This exercise not only kept the children in good health, but fixed the +letters firmly in their minds.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>Just as the clergyman had opened his book, a gentleman, richly dressed, +ran into the church and cried, "Stop! stop!"</p> + +<p>Great alarm was felt, especially by the bride and groom, with whom he +said he wished to speak privately.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.

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: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +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. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/21428-h/images/img01.jpg b/21428-h/images/img01.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644

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. + +[Illustration] + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Goody Two-Shoes, by Unknown + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK GOODY TWO-SHOES *** + +***** This file should be named 21428.txt or 21428.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/1/4/2/21428/ + +Produced by David Edwards, Janet Blenkinship and the Online +Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This +file was produced from images generously made available +by The Internet Archive) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.
