Excerpt from A Borrowed Sister Lois, with a pile of petticoats in her arms, looked up in surprise. Why, that's the joy of it all, Ellen. That's the best part. Always having somebody to talk to when you go to bed, and when you wake up in the morn ing. You've always had a sister, and so you don't understand how lonely it is to be all by yourself. It is the loveliest thing that ever happened to me, she added, with strong emphasis. Ellen had borne as much as she could. I think it is perfectly horrid, said she. Lois was pulling open the lower drawer in the bureau and crowding in the petticoats. She looked up in bewildered surprise.
