CHAPTER I.
“Fair roses from far countries
Around my portals twine;
Bright on their radiant faces
Caressing sunbeams shine,
But my neighbor over yonder
Has a fairer rose than mine.
“I see his dainty cottage
Beyond my garden bowers,
High o’er it, tall and stately,
My shadowing mansion towers;
But my neighbor’s Rose of roses
Is sweeter than my flowers.”
The family carriage of the Rodneys stood before the gate, and Mouse and
Kitty, the two sleek gray ponies, champed their bits impatiently while
the Rodneys, great and small, issued forth in gala attire.
They were going to the picnic in Walnut Grove--mamma, papa, Effie, and
little Max--all but Aline, and _she_ was in disgrace and forbidden to
go. (Not that the command itself would have been sufficient to detain
her, but she was locked into her room, “in durance vile,” and left in
charge of the cook for safe-keeping.)
Aline was usually in disgrace with the family. She had the sweetest
face and the warmest heart in the world, but with her high spirits
and willful ways she had a most lamentable faculty for getting into
mischief of some sort daily, and it was for some more flagrant offense
than usual that mamma had sternly vetoed the picnic to-day and locked
her into her room to meditate on her many and grievous faults.
