About this book

A careless remark can unsettle an entire household in Eliza Leslie's collection of four stories for young readers. In the opening tale, Rosamond Evering repeats private conversations and makes them harsher in the telling. Her habit damages relationships among family members, servants and neighbours, turning ordinary talk about dinner or a pot of jelly into lasting offence. The narrator makes the lesson explicit while showing how small acts of unkindness spread.

Josephine visits her cousins Adelaide and Rosalind in another tale. Their books, toys, miniature theatre and changing views of distant scenery meet with little interest from a guest who finds reading, dressing and walking exhausting. These domestic scenes combine lessons about conduct with close descriptions of children's amusements.
