His cousin looked up from her sampler, set the frame down and jumped up. "I am so glad," she said. "I do hate this horrid sampler!" And as she said it Dickie had a most odd feeling, rather as if a clock had struck, or had stopped striking  a feeling of sudden change. But he could not wait to wonder about it or to question what it was that he really felt. His cousin was waiting.

When the last was done he rushed into the room where she was--he was astonished to find that he knew his way about the house quite well, though he could not remember ever having been there before--and cried out-- "Thy task done? Mine is, too. Old Parrot-nose kept me hard at it, but I thought of thee, and for this once I did all his biddings. So now we are free. Come play ball in the garden!
