Excerpt: ... far from Mr. Lee's house, in Riverdale, lived a man by the name of Green. He was the agent of one of the factories in the village. Mr. Green had two little girls and three sons. The boys have nothing to do with my story, and for that reason I shall Pg 118 not say a great deal about them. Katy, Mr. Green's older daughter, was ten years old.

It is true she did not always say so, but she felt it just as much, and was very apt to be cross and sullen towards those whom she envied. Nellie Green was not at all like her sister. She was only eight years old, but there was not a bit of envy in her. She would give a part, and often the whole, of her apples, oranges, candy, and playthings to her sister, and to her brothers. She liked to see them happy, and when Charley ate an apple, it tasted just as good to her as though she were eating it herself. She was not selfish.
