Chapter VI
_DANGER._ FANNY hurried along up to the hill, walking so fast that she soon put herself out of breath and had to sit down and rest. "Oh what a hateful thing she is!" she said to herself. "I wish she was dead; I wish the bull would get out and kill her when she is going home to-night. I don't care if it is wicked; I do wish so. There isn't one bit of use in my trying to be good when she is around.
