About the Book

Excerpt: ...Mamma sent away her maid when we came here, and she says if she had fifty she would like me to do everything I can for myself.

Little Ellen Chauncey soon came back, and sitting down beside her on the foot of the bed, began the business of undressing. "Don't you love Christmas time?" said she. "I think it's the pleasantest in all the year; we always have a house full of people, and such fine times. But then in summer I think that's the pleasantest. I s'pose they're all pleasant. Do you hang up your stocking?" "No," said Ellen. "Don't you? Why, I always did ever since I can remember. I used to think, when I was a little girl, you know," said she, laughing, "I used to think that Santa Claus came down the chimney, and I used to hang up my stocking as near the fireplace as I could; but I know better...
