    About this ebook

    Excerpt from the from matila and other tales by Katharine Pyle “Ifeel ashamed Matilda, to see you such a shirk! I really think you’d run a mile. To get away from work. So spoke Matilda’s mother Reprovingly one day, But Mattie only shrugged and sulked, and turned her face away. Soon mother left her then alone, the door was open wide. On tip-toes Mattie crossed the floor, and gaily ran outside She left her room undusted; she left her bed unmade, indeed she really was a shirkI’m very much afraid.”
