'I'll Weep, Weep When I Go to Bed'

Demi's short plaid legs toiled up the last stair, a sudden sense of loneliness came over her. She looked about her with dim eyes, as if to find something to lean upon. For even teddy had deserted her. If she had known what birthday gift was coming, every minute nearer nearer, she would not have said to herself, i'll weep, weep when i go to bed. It won't do to be dismal now. And then there came a knock at the porch door.
