What a pret-ty, tame, gen-tle crea-ture and how fond-ly its young mis-tress seems to ca-ress it. Yet I am al-most a-fraid that her kind-ness is car-ried to ex-cess, and that she hugs the lamb ra-ther too close for its com-fort. In-deed its looks near-ly ex-press as much. Her bro-ther ap-pears ful-ly to share in her fond-ness for the lamb. He has a bas-ket of gay flowers stand-ing on the ground be-side him, and is making a gar-land for the neck of the pet, which when, dress-ed out, will no doubt cut a ve-ry smart fi-gure.
