  2. Here comes the telegraph boy. Something tells me he is the bearer of good news. See he is hurrying towards the house, and he wears a smile on his face. Ah, it is as I guessed ! Mother has won the a share in the the Sweep. How can I tell her ? She will not believe me. Let me see. I will tell her the telegraph boy has arrived and is awaiting on the doorstep for her.
