FRANK and Edward want Christina to come and play with them; but all the answer she makes is, "No; go away," while she turns from them into her corner, seemingly determined not to come out of it for them or anyone else. Now Christina is a foolish little girl, for the two big boys would make capital playfellows, and she really would enjoy a game of play if she could only make up that small mind of hers and not be so shy and keep on saying in reply to all they urge, " No; go away." And supposing they do go away, will Christina be satisfied? No; I think if she sees them at play she will then be very sorry indeed that she did not let two such kind-looking lads persuade her out of her corner and her shyness into joining them in their pleasant play, whatever it is.
