by Mary Howitt (1799–1888)
Kitty.—Nay, you may as well stay now; I’ve just done, and we’ll both go together; For I want to show you something like a magpie’s nest up in a tree, Only I don’t think it is a magpie’s nest, and I can’t think what it can be; And it is just by the lavender bush, and ’twill save us going there twice:— There, now I’ve done my work! and I shall be ready in a trice!
HARRY.—Well, then let us begone; we shall have two whole hours for play; I didn’t think we should have had so much time, and I’ been working all day!
