Excerpt from Harry and Lucy, Vol. 1 of 2: With Other Tales Little children who know the sounds of all letters can read words, and can understand what is told in this book. Harry was brother to Lucy, and Lucy was sister to Harry. Harry had just come home to his father's house he had been left at his uncle's when he was an infant, and had always lived at his uncle's house. Lucy lay in a little bed in a closet near her mother's room; and Harry lay in a little bed in another closet. Early in the morning, while Lucy was in bed, the sun shone through the window upon her face, and wakened her; when she was quite awake, she knew that it was morning, because it was daylight; and she called to her mother and said, Mamma, may I get up 1 But her mother did not answer her, for she did not hear what she said, because she was asleep: when Lucy knew that her mother was asleep, she lay still, that she might not disturb her, until she heard her mother stir; and then she asked her again if she might get up, and her mother said she might.
