"It is a great privilege to have a little brother like
Daniel. You must be careful to set before him a good
example of honesty and sobriety. He will be a man some
day, and if properly trained he may be a useful factor
in the uplifting and refining of the world. I love little
children," she went on rapturously, looking at Jimmy as
if he wasn't there at all, "and I would love to train
one, for service in the world to uplift and refine."

"Yes ma'am," said Jimmy. He felt that something was
expected of him, but he was not sure what.

"Will you bring Daniel to see me to-morrow, James?" she
said, as Camilla handed him his pail. "I would like to
speak to his young mind and endeavour to plant the seeds
of virtue and honesty in that fertile soil."

When Jimmy got home he told Pearlie of his interview with
the pink lady, as much as he could remember. The only
thing that he was sure of was that she wanted to see
Danny, and that she had said something about planting
seeds in him.

Jimmy and Pearlie thought it best not to mention Danny's
proposed visit to their mother, for they knew that she
would be fretting about his clothes, and would be sitting
up mending and sewing for him when she should be sleeping.
So they resolved to say "nothin' to nobody."
