Little Olive jumped up. 'Oh, let us go out, auntie, and see the pretty flowers.' 'You must be very good children then. Go quietly upstairs, and ask nurse to wrap you up well, as it is rather cold out.' And then Miss Hunter, who found children rather a perplexing problem, walked back to her book and her fireside, and thought no more about them.

r their activity. Miss Hunter came upon little Olive one afternoon sitting on the stairs in a breathless, exhausted state, and Roland was remonstrating with her. 'You've only run up twenty-five times, Olive, and you're tired already; it's a mile race, and you _must_ go on.' 'She must do nothing of the sort, Roland,' said Miss Hunter sternly. 'I will not let you tear up and down stairs all day in this fashion. What do you mean by it?' 'We can't be idle, auntie,' said Roland, shaking his curls back, and speaking with decision. 'Nurse has the toothache, and won't take us out. Father says people can be idle very easily, and put it down to the climate, and "idle hands find mischief," he says, and father is never idle. If we don't run up and down stairs, where can we run? We like the stairs best, because we never have stairs in India.'
