Excerpt: ...hours." "O, papa, I'm wide awake!" cried little Dotty, with an eager shriek, which pierced the rafters. "Good night, then," said Mr. Parlin, coldly. "O, but, papa, I want to go home. What did my mamma say about me?" "She said she had sent you of an errand. When you have finished your errand, you may come home. Good night."
