This is a story about Belinda, and, as it is the last, I think I shall tell it you in poetry. Belinda is the one in mauve, and I could have written much better poetry if she had been in brown or blue, but Mothers never think of things like this when they dress their children. However, she has a little red on her cap, which may be useful. We shall see.
First Verse
Belinda had a grown-up spade,
Belinda Brown was six, and oh!
The castle that Belinda made!
That's the first verse; and now, if anybody asks you what her name was, you can answer at once "Belinda, because it says so in one of the lines."
Second Verse
Although she looked a little more,
But she was only six, and oh!
The bonny cap Belinda wore!
[ 101 ]
