3. A Book Review
Then came a sad day. Our mistress was taken seriously ill and had to go away to God’s home. Our happy days with her and our kind master were over.

Our Master came round to pat and speak to us for the last time. His voice sounded very sad. I held my face close to him – that was all I could do to say good bye – and then he was gone. I have never seen him since.
