This is our boot cupboard, where we keep the blacking and brushes, and papa’s boot-jack. I will tell you whom they belong to, all these five pairs. The tall big ones belong to dear papa, as you may suppose, and are strong ones, as he has to walk very much. Mama’s boots are not kept here, but in her own bed-room. Then the next tall pair belong to brother Richard, and are almost as large as papa’s. The pair between Richard’s boots belong to sister Mary; and the pair nearer the door, to little Susan. The tiny pair next the door, are dear little baby’s, but they are not of much use to him, for his fat little feet need a larger pair.
