Hurrah We are going to have such a jolly holiday " shouted Frank, suddenly bursting out of his imprisonment in the slate closet, to the great disturbance of his sisters, who were peaceably occupied with their lessons.

I desired you not to leave the book closet until you had made up your mind to sit straight on your chair, and go through the multiplication table properly." "We're to go to Sandbay for a month " shouted Frank, capering about and clapping his hands.
