About this book

Lucy's father sends two shining coins as a birthday present, but sharing one with her cousin Emily makes her unhappy. After losing her mother as a small child, Lucy has grown used to praise, fine clothes and an indulgent father's attention. A year with her aunt in Boston brings her alongside Emily, whose savings have a practical purpose: buying a new gown for an old nurse who works hard and has little pleasure.

Vanity and generosity meet in the small decisions of this children's moral tale. Lucy plans to impress another girl with silk slippers and an elaborate dress, while Emily values the happiness she can give someone else. An outing exposes the cost of Lucy's choices, and her cousin responds with comfort and help. The narrator speaks directly about faults, kindness and governing one's temper, offering readers a clear example of how early children's stories used ordinary mishaps to teach conduct.
