About this book
Proud and Lazy is by Oliver Optic and carries the line A Story for Little Folks. Miss Dale puts the stick in the desk and tells Thomas that when she tells him to do anything, he must obey her. Tommy feels the stick once more, and blow follows blow until, of his own accord, he promises not to use the naughty words again. Hearing what Miss Dale had done, a boy's father says he is glad she made him mind and that he should go to school in the afternoon.
Nellie cannot help crying, not because she could not have the doll, but because her sister was so harsh and unkind. Flora tries to be brave and places her arm round her friend's neck. Nellie says Katy would have lent them the dolly, only Aunt Jane gave it to her and she is afraid it will be broken.
