After dinner that evening Clara's eyes were so red that her father asked her If she had got something In them. “No,” said Clara, beginning to cry again. “Mama couldn’t get one of those old examples, and now I'll have to stay in at recess tomorrow!” "Don't cry!” exclaimed her father. “I’ll get it for you.
