Author Description

Excerpt from Sketches of Little Girls: The Good-Natured Little Girl, the Thoughtless, the Vain, the Orderly, the Slovenly, the Forward, the Snappish, the Persevering, the Modest, and the Awkward Little Girl I was freely admitted into the play-ground, the school-room, and the nursery; and have great reason to believe I was somewhat of a favourite in them all, for I have often heard two or three merry little voices exclaim on my approach, Oh, here comes Mr. Lovechild; now we shall have some fun? And plenty of fun we did have, sure enough; as you would have thought, if you had heard the noise we sometimes made, although I am old enough to be grandpapa to my little playmates.
