In the daytime I ran by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. When it was hot we used to stand by the pond in the shade of the trees, and when it was cold we had a nice warm shed near the grove.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
