She had a beautiful little trunk with her that held all -Blanche’s clothes, and the key of the trunk was on a ribbon around her -neck. Blanche, you know, was her best dolly--the one her mamma gave her -on her last birthday--and she had always taken great care of her, so -that she was now almost as good as new. - -When mamma began to pack the trunks her little daughter brought nearly -every plaything she had to be packed too, for she seemed to think that -everything she had must go with her to Aunt Lou’s. But mamma told her -that there was not room for all her toys, and that she must choose a -few things to take with her, and leave the rest. - -Bessie was very much puzzled what to choose, and which of her dollies -to leave behind. She was afraid that if she took Blanche, Sarah Jane -would feel badly; and if she took Sarah Jane, Blanche would not like to -be left behind. - -So she went to ask Aunt Lillie about it. - -“Auntie,” said she, “s’pose you had two little chillens, and your mamma -would only let you have one chillen to take away, would you choose -Blanche or Sarah Jane?” - -“I think,” said Aunt Lillie, who looked very smiling, “that I should -have to take the child who needed me most.” - -“That’s Blanche,” said Bessie, who wanted to take her all the time, -because she was so much handsomer than Sarah Jane; “she’s the youngest, -and I have to be careful of her clothes.” - -So, trying to explain it all to Sarah Jane why she was to be left at -home, she began to get Blanche ready for the visit at Aunt Lou’s. - -When the little trunk came, with Blanche’s name painted on one end, -Bessie was very much delighted; and the tiny dresses and aprons and -petticoats were packed in it very neatly. - -Miss Blanche had a new travelling suit that Aunt Lillie made for her. -It was gray, trimmed with blue; and there was a turban hat with a blue -feather in it. Bessie said that Sarah Jane looked very cross when she -saw this, but she told her that it was not right to be jealous of her -sister. - -Papa’s eyes laughed when he asked his little girl if he should not get -a check for Blanche’s trunk and have it taken away by the expressman -with the other baggage; and Bessie thought she would like this very -much, until Aunt Lillie said that it would not do, because the little -trunk might get crushed under the heavy ones. - -When they went into the cars papa was carrying Blanche’s trunk in one -hand, and holding Bessie by the other, and the little pilgrim herself -was carrying Blanche. - - - - -II. - - -It was night when they got to Aunt Lou’s, and Bessie was fast asleep. -She did not even wake up when she was being undressed, and she did not -know where she was until next morning. - -When she woke the sun was shining right in her eyes, and she was not in -her crib, nor in her little blue room at all. There were funny noises -outside too; roosters were crowing, and she heard cows, and then she -knew in a minute that this must be Aunt Lou’s. - -No one was in the room with her, for papa had to go off early in the -cars, and mamma had gone down stairs to eat breakfast with him. - -Pretty soon Aunt Lillie came in and dressed her; and by that time the -little pilgrim was quite ready for her breakfast. - -How the little cousins hugged and kissed her when she came down -stairs! They were so very glad to see her, and they had been allowed to -sit up the night before on purpose to welcome her, and had been very -much disappointed to find that she was fast asleep. - -The oldest of these cousins was a boy--a very big boy, Bessie thought, -for he was ten years old. His name was Jimmie, and he liked to read -better than he liked to play, but he would play with them sometimes. - -Nellie was a very nice cousin indeed. She was eight years old, and she -was always pleasant and smiling and ready to amuse the little ones. - -One of these little ones was Charlie, who had another name, and I am -sorry to say that this was “Cry-Baby.” Charlie was four years old, and -he cried when his face was washed, and cried when he tumbled down, and -cried when he couldn’t have what he wanted. - -When he was not crying he smiled and looked like a very happy little -boy; and this was the way he looked now. - -Then there was Baby Alice, a dear little girl who had to be carried and -who could not speak a word yet. - -Mr. and Mrs. Mason, who were Bessie’s Uncle Ralph and Aunt Lou, lived -on a large farm, where they had plenty of people to help do the work; -and these people had houses of their own not very far from the large -house in which Bessie’s cousins lived. - -There were a great many fields around the house, and woods, and a -pretty little brook that seemed to be singing a song the whole time. -The place was called “Brook Farm;” and there were so many horses, and -cows, and sheep, and pigs, and chickens that Bessie wondered if any one -could count them. - -“Eat your breakfast, dear,” said Aunt Lou when she saw that Bessie -left her bread-and-milk to look at the pets her cousins were already -bringing in to show her, for they had all had their breakfasts; “there -will be plenty of time for all that afterward.” - -But the little pilgrim could not stop long to eat. Charlie had just -whispered, “Tree tittens--four, five, tree--tome and see!” and away she -flew. - -“I expect my little girl to run wild now,” said mamma, smiling. - -“It will do her a great deal of good,” replied Aunt Lou; “she is -looking too pale, and I want to see her cheeks like roses before she -leaves here.” - -In a few moments there was a great screaming and boo-hoo-ing from -Charlie, who came running to the house crying as hard as he could. - -“What is the matter now?” asked his mamma, who did not seem to think -there was much the matter. - -Then Charlie roared harder than ever, and held up a little fat hand -to show a great scratch on it. Pussy had scratched him because he was -taking her babies up by the tail. - -“He is real naughty,” said Nellie, who had followed him; “he makes the -little kittens squeal, and that is why Pussy scratches him.” - -Charlie fairly bellowed now, because his scratch hurt him and because -he could not do as he liked with the kittens. He had been sick a great -deal, and had had his own way too much. - -Aunt Lillie put a piece of thin plaster on the scratch, and then -Charlie said, “All well now,” and ran back to the barn with his face -full of smiles. His mamma thought he had been punished enough, for -Pussy gave him a pretty hard scratch, and he promised to be very gentle -with the kittens. - -Bessie was seated on the barn-floor with all the little kittens in her -lap, and Mother Puss was purring around her and not minding it at all. -They were such pretty little things--white, with black tails, and they -all had blue eyes! They had just got their eyes open. - -“Here is some milk for you, Pussy,” said Martha as she put a large dish -of it down on the floor. Martha was the girl who took care of the milk -and butter, that were kept in a little house half sunk in the ground. -This was the dairy. - -Pussy did not like to leave her kittens long, even to get something -to eat, and Martha often brought her milk, so that she would not be -hungry. - -“Come with me,” said Martha to the children, “and I will show you some -babies smaller than these kittens; I found them yesterday.” - -The kittens were quickly put back into their straw nest in the manger, -and the children followed Martha to see what she had to show them. - -She took them into the corn-crib, which was near the barn; and where -the corn was all kept with which the animals were fed. In a dark -corner, right under a sloping beam, there was an old box, and in this -box there was a funny sort of nest made of straw and rags. - -“Are they birds?” asked Nellie as she tiptoed up to it. - -“Birds!” repeated Jimmie, who was just behind her: “don’t you know -better than that? They are mice--white mice, I shouldn’t wonder.” - -“No, they ain’t,” said Bessie, who was stretching her little neck to -get a good view of them; “they’re all pink. I see ’em!” - -She did not know why she was laughed at, for they certainly were -pink--very pink indeed, and very little. - -“La, child!” said Martha, laughing too, “that ain’t the color they’re -going to be. They’re pink because they haven’t got any fur yet, only -their skins. I guess, though, that they’ll be just mouse-color. But -ain’t they cunning?” - -“Me want one,” said Charlie, “to play with.” - -And when they told him that he could not take any of Mrs. Mouse’s -children, as she had only gone out for a little while, he, as usual, -began to cry. - -“Go ahead, Cry-Baby!” said Jimmie; and Charlie did go ahead. - -But something dreadful happened just then. - -No one knew that Mrs. Puss had just followed them in to see what was -going on; and as soon as she caught sight of the nest with three little -mice in it, she knew what they were in a minute. She made one jump and -gobbled them up; every little mouse was gone, and Puss sat licking her -chops and feeling that she had made a very good breakfast. - -“Well, I never!” said Martha, almost out of breath with surprise. - -“You horrid cat!” said Nellie, just ready to cry for the fate of the -poor little mice. - -Bessie quite cried, it seemed so dreadful; and as to Charlie, his roars -were heard at the house. - -Aunt Lou and Bessie’s mamma and Aunt Lillie all came running out to see -what was the matter. Had Charlie’s eyes been scratched out now? - -“Oh, mamma!” sobbed Bessie as she buried her head in her mother’s -dress, “that wicked cat has eaten up the little mouses!” - -“Do have her killed, mamma,” said Nellie; “she is too bad to live.” - -Every little face looked angry and excited, and Charlie kept on -screaming. - -Then Martha told about the little nest with the three pink mice in it, -and how Puss had eaten them for her breakfast. - -“I wish the cow or something big would eat her kittens,” said Jimmie; -“see how she would like that!” - -“Children,” said Aunt Lou, “you are all wrong, and Puss is not wicked -at all. She was born to eat mice--that is her business; and I am sure -that papa will be very much obliged to her for clearing a nest of these -destructive little creatures out of his corn-crib.” - -“But they were so cunning!” sobbed the children. - -“All young animals are ‘cunning,’” replied mamma with a smile, “but we -should not be very comfortable unless some of them were killed. How -would it do to have the house full of mice?” - -That did not sound very pleasant, and they began to see that Pussy was -not so bad, after all. - -“Besides,” said Jimmie, remembering what he had read, “we eat cows and -sheep and pigs and chickens ourselves, so we are just as bad as Pussy.” - -“Come with me, Charlie,” said Aunt Lillie, “and I will show you a -picture-book which I am sure you will like.” - -Charlie stopped crying at this promise, and went with his auntie, of -whom he was very fond. - -But he and Bessie had a quarrel that same day about this very auntie, -whom Bessie always claimed as her own property. She didn’t see how she -could belong to any one else; and she said to Charlie, “She isn’t your -aunt Lillie; she’s mine.” - -“Tain’t!” replied Charlie, beginning to blubber; “it’s mine auntie -Lillie.” - -The little pilgrim was so angry at this that she started to run and -ask Aunt Lillie if she wasn’t her very own auntie and no one else’s. -But she went too fast, and before she knew it she was down on her nose. - -Auntie happened to come along just in time to pick the little pilgrim -up and comfort her. Then she told the two little cousins how wrong it -was to quarrel, and that she was auntie to both of them. - -So the children kissed and made it up, and Charlie promised that he -would try not to be such a cry-baby. - - - - -III. - - -There were so many things to see at Aunt Lou’s that the little pilgrim -lived out of doors nearly all the time. - -“You must come and see my baby-house,” said Nelly; and Bessie wondered -if it would be prettier than hers. - -It was in a very funny place, for Nellie took her down by the brook; -and there was a hollow in a great tree that had a little table in -it, and two or three rag dollies sitting by the table, and cups and -saucers on it; but the cups and saucers were not like any that Bessie -had ever seen before. They were made of acorns, which Jimmie had cut -out for her, and the cups looked like little thimbles. Fresh grass was -spread down for a carpet, and Nellie told her little cousin that this -was her summer-house. - -“You see,” she said, “that I can leave my dollies and all out in the -rain, and it don’t hurt them a bit. I have nicer ones for in-doors, -but I love these just as well, because I can do what I like with -them.--Hold up your head, Polly, but don’t stare so at the company; -haven’t you any manners?” - -Bessie looked all around for the little girl, but she did not see any. -Nellie burst out laughing. - -“There she is,” said she, pointing to the largest rag doll; “I always -talk to her as if she was alive. It’s real fun. This is her sister, -Martha Jane. She has fits.” - -“My rag doll is Sarah Jane,” said the little pilgrim. “What does Martha -Jane have fits for?” - -“’Cos she likes ’em,” replied Nellie; “she’d rather have fits than -anything else. But Polly likes measles best.” - -This seemed very strange to Bessie, but Nellie was so much older that -she thought she must know. - -When they got tired of playing with the baby-house they took off -their shoes and stockings and paddled in the brook. The water was -delightfully cool, and Bessie knew now why the cows like to stand in -the water in warm weather. - -There were stepping-stones in the brook, and the two little girls -crossed from one to another, and paddled about as much as they liked. - -“It is nicer here than it is at our house,” said Bessie; “we haven’t -got any brook, nor any barn nor corn-crib; and I’m going to ask my papa -to come here to live.” - -“Then we could visit every day,” said Nellie; “you could come to see -me, and I could go to see you.” - -But when Bessie got back to her home again she forgot all about going -to live at Brook Farm, and was just as well satisfied with grandpapa’s -house as ever. - -When they were tired of the brook they put on their shoes and stockings -again and went to look at Martha’s dairy. Martha had said that they -might come and see her make butter. - -Bessie liked going into funny little houses, and it was so nice and -cool in the dairy. Everything was so clean and shining, and the tin -milk-pans were bright enough for looking-glasses. Some of them were -full of milk with rich cream on top, and the little visitor was -allowed to skim some of this off in a pitcher for dinner. She liked to -do it very much. - -Martha was churning, and she said that the butter had ’most come. She -kept looking into the churn every few minutes; and soon she took out -large yellow lumps and put them on a flat dish. - -These lumps were butter, and she washed them very clean in cold water, -and then worked them into shape. She made them into neat-looking pats, -and stamped them with different figures. She let Bessie stamp one with -a wooden rose, and it looked very pretty. - -Then Martha gave each of the children a drink of rich buttermilk from -the churn, and they thanked her and went to the house, for it was -nearly dinner-time. When they were not far from the kitchen-door they -knew that Charlie was coming, there was such a terrible screaming. - -“Oh, he’s hurt!” said Bessie, looking frightened; “he’s so little, you -know.” - -“Pooh!” said Nellie; “I guess he isn’t hurt; he always screams for -nothing.” - -It happened that Charlie was hurt this time--pretty badly hurt too, for -a little boy. But it was some time before his mamma knew it, for, as -Nellie said, he always screamed for nothing, and if Aunt Lou had run to -him every time that he screamed she would not have been able to do much -else. - -This is the story he told his mamma between his sobs when he had found -her: “Great wicked bumble-bee bited Charlie in his mouf!” - -“Let me see the mouth,” said mamma. - -Charlie roared afresh with pain, and showed his lip, badly swollen on -the inside. He certainly had been stung, but mamma did not see how the -bee could have got at him there. When she asked her little boy he hung -his head and said that “Charlie bited a little bite out of a napple, -and then the ugly bee bited his mouf;” and then his mamma knew that he -had disobeyed her and gone into the orchard to eat the apples that had -fallen on the ground. - -Mamma made her little boy as comfortable as she could, and then she -talked to him about his naughtiness until Charlie felt very sorry and -promised not to disobey again. - - - - -IV. - - -It was a rainy day, and the children could not go out to play by the -brook or in the fields. Bessie’s mamma said that she knew papa would -like to get a letter from his little daughter, so the little daughter -sat down to print one. This was all that Bessie could do in the way of -writing, but she did it pretty well. This is what she wrote, with some -help from mamma: - - “Dear Papa: - - I want to see you very much, for you are the only papa I have got, - and a great deal nicer than the pigs and chickens and cows. I like - them very much too. The pigs are funny. Charlie tumbled in one day, - and the pigs ran into a corner. Aunt Lou said they were frightened at - Charlie’s screams. He screams when he isn’t hurt. I don’t. Aunt Lou - says I am a brave little girl, because I fall down and don’t cry. - - From you dear little daughter, - - Bessie.” - - -Papa was very much pleased indeed with this letter. - -Then the little pilgrim wrote one to grandpapa, and grandpapa wrote an -answer to it, and came and brought it himself. - -Every one was so glad to see him! and the children soon found that -they had another playmate. Jimmie was named after grandpa, and he -thought that he ought to have him all to himself, but the little girls -would not consent to this. Charlie wanted a “slice of grandpa” too; and -he had to go all over the farm to see all the pets and the brook and -the baby-house. Aunt Lou said that he was not free from the children -except when he was asleep, but grandpapa declared that he did not want -to be free from them. - -He said that Bessie had grown half a head; and she certainly looked -like a very chubby, rosy little girl since she had come to stay at Aunt -Lou’s. She drank so much milk and ran about so much in the open air -that she was getting quite strong. - -Bessie scarcely thought of Blanche and the little trunk, there were so -many other things to do. But Nellie said she was a beautiful doll, and -that it must be so nice to have a real trunk to put her clothes in; she -wished that her papa would get her one when he went to the city. - -Our little pilgrim loved dearly to hunt for eggs. - -Once she saw a little bird’s nest with four pretty eggs in it, but she -knew that she must not touch these, for she did not want to make the -little bird-mother unhappy. - -Every one loved Bessie, and the children did not like to think of her -ever leaving them. But the time came when she had to go away from Brook -Farm; and, having said good-bye even to the cows and chickens, the -little pilgrim went off again in the cars on her journey home. - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK LITTLE PILGRIM AT AUNT -LOU'S *** - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law 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.
