Maria asked if Kitty put it in her pocket when she saw it, as she did the goose's egg ? and that made us all laugh again. Mamma said very seriously to Marion, that to have believed such ab- surdity was merely foolish ; to persist in repeating it when told it was such, was obstinacy ; that she had often been told this fault in her character was one that would make her both ridic- ulous and unhappy through life, if she did not get cured of it. Instead of begging mamma's pardon, Marion grew sulky ...and would'nt speak; she kept quite sulky all the evening, and would'nt play any. When mamma came to hear our prayers, she said nothing to her at all, but I thought mamma looked very sorrowfully at her, and she did'nt kiss her. THE CORRESPONDENCE 47 In the meantime, Henry had privately asked mamma for leave to play a trick upon Marion the next morning ; and she gave him leave. So what did he do, but took that great big tremendous pumpkin, that grew in the garden last year, and he whitened it all over with chalk mixed with glue and water, till it was quite as white as any egg, and you know it is the very shape of one ; he left it all night to dry, and in the morn- ing he got John, the servant, to help him carry it down to the field where the horses feed, and with some straw they made a great big nest close by the fence, and put in the pumpkin.
