MISS WILSON, the governess, was sitting all alone, and feeling sad, for she had not long left her home to go out teaching, and it was strange to her. She wished to do her duty and teach her pupils well, but they were high-spirited, and she feared she had made no good impressions yet on either of them. Just then a pair of little arms was thrown round her neck, and a voice said, "I love you," and kissed her many times. It was Edmund who did this, and his kindly sympathy went to her heart and cheered her, for it seemed an earnest of better things. Her sad thoughts vanished, and taking the little boy on her knee, she talked to him and interested herself in all he had to tell her, for he was an intelligent boy, and she wanted to show him that she appreciated his kindness to her.
