LUCY, Dear mamma, I was sa sorry» 
that those troublesome visitors interrupted 
us yesterday, in the middle of that charm- 
ing history of the spinning caterpillars. 
Mother, Those visitors were very 
good and respectable people ; and, al- 
though they interrupted you, they do 
not deserve to be called troublesome. 
We must learn to bear with many inter- 
ruptions through life, and still more with 
such very trifling disappointments as that. 
We will now return to the caterpillars : 
I think we were speaking of those which 
live in societies on the euonymous.
