+A BIT OF SUNSHINE.
+
+
+"Mam-ma," said Kate, as she stood at the door, which she had o-pened to
+let puss in, "may I not go out and play? the clouds are all gone and the
+sun shines bright and warm."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"But the grass must be quite soaked af-ter all the rain," said mam-ma.
+"I will tell you what to do; run to pa-pa, and ask him if he will not
+take us to drive."
+
+Pa-pa was just go-ing out, and had his hat in his hand, but he sat down
+at once to hear what Kate had to say, and prom-ised that he would take
+them in half an hour, and so Kate ran up-stairs to ask nurse to put
+her wraps on. By the time the hors-es were at the door she was all
+read-y, and took her place with great glee.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+What a bright af-ter-noon it was; the long rain had made all the grass
+and leaves look bright and green, and they were rust-ling in the fresh
+breeze. A-way out at sea the ships were fly-ing be-fore the wind,
+look-ing like great white birds. Kate's home was at the sea-side, and
+their drive this af-ter-noon would take them for a time on the beach.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The waves, pa-pa said, would be ve-ry wild, for the wind was just right
+to make a heav-y surf. Soon they be-gan to come to the fish-ing
+vil-lage. The hous-es were small, and on the beach close to each was
+drawn up a fish-ing boat. On one of these a man was hard at work. He was
+down on his knees in his shirt-sleeves, with some sort of a tool in his
+hands, and was so in-tent on what he was do-ing that he did not raise
+his head as they passed.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+In the boat it-self was a boy. He was lean-ing o-ver the side and
+look-ing down at his fa-ther. His hat had blown off, and he looked
+like such a nice boy that Kate smiled at him as they went by. He laughed
+back and made her a lit-tle bow, but the hors-es went by so fast that
+she saw him for a min-ute on-ly.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"What was the name of that boat, pa-pa?" she asked.
+
+"Phil-lis," said pa-pa.
+
+"Why, that's a girl's name," said Kate.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Just at that mo-ment they passed by a small house. The door stood wide
+o-pen, and in it sat a young girl. She had a pil-low in her lap and was
+work-ing o-ver it, Kate thought, with a nee-dle. "She is mak-ing lace,"
+said mam-ma. "It is hard work, be-cause one has to sit still bent o-ver.
+I sup-pose she is glad to have the bright sun-shine to sit in, for no
+doubt she has been kept in the house by the rain. I won-der if that is
+her lit-tle broth-er who is lean-ing a-gainst the side of the house
+whit-tling."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Kate stretched her head out to look, and cried, "Why, he is mak-ing a
+boat; what a clev-er boy! See, the hull is done, and two masts are in
+place. What fun it would be to have a boat to sail on our lit-tle pond."
+
+"Our pond is too deep for it to be safe for you to play a-bout it," said
+pa-pa; "but when you are old-er you shall have a boat with-out fail."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The road now left the vil-lage be-hind and ran a-long the top of some
+high cliffs. At their feet the sea came in in great waves that were
+topped with foam, and that broke in a mass of spray. There were two or
+three per-sons on the beach, and they were walk-ing a-bout and
+hold-ing up their skirts to keep them from get-ting wet. It looked like
+such fun that mam-ma asked pa-pa if he would not stop and let her and
+Kate have a short run on the sands.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+So the hors-es were brought to a halt, and they got down and made their
+way through a break in the cliffs to the beach. Then, af-ter they had
+walked a while, they sat down on a great mass of rock and watched the
+waves as they rolled and broke at their feet. Kate was much
+in-ter-est-ed in a piece of board that the waves were tos-sing a-bout.
+She played that it was a ship, and real-ly felt quite bad-ly when it was
+dashed a-gainst the rocks. How long they would have stayed there I do
+not know, but they heard pa-pa shout-ing that he was tired of wait-ing.
+And so they made haste to climb up to where he was and take their seats.
+Then he spoke to the hors-es and on they went. They had not gone far
+when they found them-selves in a green lane. Com-ing to-ward them were
+a lit-tle girl and boy. They were on their way home from school, as the
+bag in the girl's hand showed, for it had books in it. As they drew up
+by the fence to let our par-ty pass, Kate said:
+
+"Their mam-ma lets them walk out though the grass is wet; but I would
+much rath-er ride this way than walk at a-ny time, or play ei-ther, and
+so would they, I know."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"I am a-fraid the rain is not all o-ver yet," said pa-pa. "That black
+cloud a-head will give us a wet-ting, I fear. I will drive fast-er."
+
+Soon the drops be-gan to fall, but their car-riage had a top, and they
+had with them rugs, so that they were not hurt at all. Kate, as she
+peeped out, saw that all were not so safe. A girl and a boy were
+crouched close un-der a bush by the road-side.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"They will not get ve-ry wet," said mam-ma, "for the cloud is near-ly
+passed by, and the sun shines once more."
+
+"Are we not near home?" she said to pa-pa, "it is get-ting late, I
+think. There goes a girl with her pail to drive the cows to the yard to
+be milked. Kate must have her sup-per when we get back, and her bed-time
+is sev-en o'clock, you know."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"It is on-ly five now," said pa-pa; "we can have a good hour more, and
+Kate won't mind, I fan-cy, if she is a lit-tle late for once."
+
+"No, in-deed," said Kate; "I think a-ny way I am get-ting much too big
+to go to bed at sev-en."
+
+"There is a lit-tle girl," said mam-ma, as she looked in at the door
+of a house that they were pass-ing, "that thinks bed-time is not far
+off."
+
+"She's on-ly a ba-by," said Kate with great in-dig-na-tion, "and I am
+quite a large lit-tle wo-man."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Pa-pa and mam-ma both laughed at Kate's tone. She did not like to be
+laughed at at all, and so, to change the sub-ject, as they went by a
+house, called out, "Why, what are that boy and girl do-ing at that
+hogs-head?"
+
+"Fish-ing," said pa-pa so-ber-ly.
+
+"In a hogs-head!" said Kate. "Who ev-er caught fish in such a place?
+No, they must be sail-ing chips. Yes," she went on, as she stretched her
+short neck up as far as she could, "that is what they are do-ing; I can
+see the chips."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Just then pa-pa called out, "What in the world is this com-ing down the
+road? Whoa! my boys, stead-y," he said to his hors-es as they be-gan to
+prick up their ears. The next min-ute they saw what it was. A dog came
+to-ward them at full speed, howl-ing with fright, while close at his
+heels was a cat wild with rage. Her ears were laid back, and she meant
+to catch and scratch the dog if she could. But he was too fleet for her,
+and as they looked they saw puss give up the chase and climb up on a
+fence.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Well," said pa-pa, "I think that dog has had a les-son. He will not
+trou-ble that cat a-gain, I am sure. I won-der what he did to make her
+so an-gry. Per-haps he teased her kit-tens."
+
+"There," said Kate, a few min-utes la-ter, "there is a dog that is not
+go-ing to be driv-en by a cat. Just look, mam-ma, he wants to get some
+of that ba-by's sup-per." Mam-ma looked up, and on the porch of a house
+saw just what you see in this pic-ture--a fat small boy with a slice of
+bread and but-ter, while a dog al-most as big as the boy looked on
+wait-ing for a bite.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Just at the side gate of the house stood an old cart half full of hay.
+It had not been used for some time, and a pair of birds had made their
+nest in it and had two or three young birds, which they were just
+feed-ing with a worm.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Oh, how sweet!" cried Kate, "Pa-pa, dear, do stop a min-ute." So pa-pa
+drew in his hors-es, and they watched them for a lit-tle while. The
+birds did not seem to mind them at all.
+
+"There are no bad boys here-a-bout," said pa-pa, "that is ve-ry
+cer-tain."
+
+"I am quite sure," said mam-ma, "that it must be time for us to be home.
+The sun is near-ly set-ting."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+"Yes," said pa-pa, "it is ten min-utes of six. I will take a new way
+home, and we can be there in a ve-ry short time." So he turned off in-to
+a lane close at hand. The hors-es seemed to know that their work was
+near-ly done, and went on so brisk-ly that just as the hall clock struck
+six they stopped in front of the door.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Nurse was wait-ing on the pi-az-za to meet them, and she jumped Kate out
+of the car-riage and took her right up to the nur-se-ry, where in a
+ve-ry short time her tea was all read-y. How hun-gry she was; it
+seemed to her that bread and milk nev-er tast-ed so good be-fore, and
+she had her bowl filled three times. At last she pushed back her chair
+and said she had had e-nough. Then she be-gan to tell to nurse all she
+had seen--the boys, and the dogs, and all the pleas-ant sights; and all
+the time that nurse was get-ting her read-y for bed, her small tongue
+wagged with-out stop-ping. "I am get-ting now to be such a big lit-tle
+wo-man," she said to nurse, "that I don't think I shall go to bed a-ny
+more till eight; I on-ly just lay a-wake for an hour when I go at
+sev-en." But that night when mam-ma came up, at five min-utes past
+sev-en, to kiss her good-night, she found her lit-tle girl so fast
+a-sleep that she did not know at all that she had come. "Ha, ha!"
+laughed mam-ma softly, "I think we will not change the hour for Kate to
+go to bed just yet."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The next day was bright and fair, and Kate was glad to get out once
+more. She found that the rain, which had seemed so use-less to her,
+had been of great ser-vice. Her flow-ers were all look-ing fresh and
+green, and ev-ery bud was nod-ding its head in the sun-light.

+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+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

+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.
