Children Quote by Anonymous
“My dwelling was small, and I could hardly entertain an echo in it; but it seemed larger for being a single apartment and remote from neighbors. All the attractions of a house were concentrated in one room; it was kitchen, chamber, parlor, and keeping-room; and whateversatisfaction parent or child, master or servant, derive from living in a house, I enjoyed it all.”
