Excerpt from Pansies and Water-Lilies "They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts." - Sir Philip Sidney. "I've finished my book, and now what can I do till this tiresome rain is over?" exclaimed Carrie, as she lay back on the couch with a yawn of weariness. "Take another and a better book, the house is full of them, and this is a rare chance for a feast on the best, " answered Alice, looking over the pile of volumes in her lap, as she sat on the floor before one of the tall book-cases that lined the room. "Not being a book-worm like you, I can't read forever, and you need n't sniff at 'Wanda, ' for it's perfectly thrilling!" cried Carrie, regretfully turning the crumpled leaves of the Seaside Library copy of that interminable and impossible tale. "We should read to improve our minds, and that rubbish is only a waste of time, " began Alice, in a warning tone, as she looked up from "Romola, " over which she had been poring with the delight one feels in meeting an old friend.
