The Bakery

Ready for School.

Mama is plaiting Ellen’s hair this morning, and then she will be ready for school. Though her toys are on the floor beside her, yet she stands quite still, like a good girl.

Feeding the Fowls.

Baby is giving some bread-crumbs to the fowls this morning. The cock looks up as though he would say “Thank you.”

Being Washed.

Baby is screaming because he does not like to be washed. This is very naughty.

The Ropery.

Poor little James has come down to the ropery, to see the men make string. He has got a great ball of string to fly his kite with.

The Broken Watering-Pot.

Susan is very sad this evening, for she has broken her little watering-pot, and so she does not know how to water her flowers.

Shoeing the Horse.

Let him have a good shoe, please, Mr. Farrier, and take care you don’t hurt him, for he is a noble fellow.

The New Jacket.

This is a tailor’s shop, and Master Albert is being measured for a new jacket. His young brother Robert is to have one too.

The Pet Bird.

How pleased baby is with the pet bird perched on the back of the chair!

The Apple Cupboard.

The children have just found out where mama keeps her apples.

Half-Holiday.

It is half-holiday, and, as it is wet, Master Fred is lounging about in-doors.

“Don’t Forget Me.”

Baby is sitting in the out-house eating a piece of bread-and-butter. Bob is putting his paw gently upon him, as much as to say, “Don’t forget me, baby, but give me a bit, please.”

Mary has come to the baker’s to buy a new loaf this morning, and she has peeped into the bakery to see how the men make the bread. She must not stay long though, for they are all waiting at home to have their breakfast.
