Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England A Pair of Clogs, and other stories, by Amy Walton. ________________________________________________________________________ In the first of the stories a young girl-child is stolen by the gypsies. Yet they decide to give the child up, and they leave it in an out-house owned by a young clergyman. The latter isn't very pleased at this, but his wife certainly is, and they bring the child up. After a few years, and in a particularly tense moment, the true mother is found. An agreement is reached, whereby the child is shared. As with Amy Walton short stories, there is not only a well-told tale but also a moral. ________________________________________________________________________ A PAIR OF CLOGS, AND OTHER STORIES, BY AMY WALTON. STORY ONE, CHAPTER 1. HER FIRST HOME. "My! What a pretty pair of clogs baby's gotten!" The street was narrow and very steep, and paved with round stones; on each side of it were slate-coloured houses, some high, some low; and in the middle of it stood baby, her curly yellow head bare, and her blue cotton frock lifted high with both fat hands. She could not speak, but she wanted to show that on her feet were tiny new clogs with bright brass tips. She stopped in front of all her acquaintances, men, women, children, and even dogs. Each of them, except the last, made much the same remark, and she then toddled cheerfully on, until nearly everyone in the village of Haworth knew of this wonderful new thing.
