Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell
167
I
found
Miss
Matty
covering
her
penny
ball—
the
ball
that
she
used
to
roll
under
her
bed—
with
gay-coloured
worsted
in
rainbow
stripes.
“My
dear,”
said
she,
“my
heart
is
sad
for
that
little
careworn
child.
Although
her
father
is
a
conjuror,
she
looks
as
if
she
had
never
had
a
good
game
of
play
in
her
life.
I
used
to
make
very
pretty
balls
in
this
way
when
I
was
a
girl,
and
I
thought
I
would
try
if
I
could
not
make
this
one
smart
and
take
it
to
Phœbe
this
afternoon.
I
think
‘the
gang’
must
have
left
the
neighbourhood,
for
one
does
not
hear
any
more
of
their
violence
and
robbery
now.”
