About this book

The Parent's Assistant by Maria Edgeworth presents stories for children and has a preface addressed to parents. Mary says that she has carried the treasure she found to Mr. Hopkins, the agent, provoking an old woman's declaration that she would have acted differently. Mary fears that Goody Grope will bring down the old castle of Rossmore if she starts work at its foundation.

Ben makes no immediate reply to Hal's taunt, but demonstrates the next day that he knows how to use the new bow and arrow very well. Ben's uncle praises his marksmanship without boasting and offers him a bow and arrow, suggesting that practice may make him an archer before the first of September.
