Heedless Hetty

Flo was very ill for a long time, and often they thought that a few weeks more would see the close of her suffering and her life. But she at last began to improve; and, to the great joy of all who loved her, she continued to get steadily better, until at last she could walk about nearly as well as Lina. She grew a great deal, too, and health brought back her pretty pink colour, and the unchildlike gravity vanished from her face.Indeed, if the truth must be told, Miss Flora was rather a troublesome lassie for a time; for it seemed as if all the fun and frolic she had missed had to be got through somehow. But she sobered down again, and is a very good girl, and a great comfort to her parents. Lina is married, and Flo is the home daughter, helping her mother, and caring for the younger children....FROM THE BOOKS.
