Rosy by Mrs. Molesworth, Fiction, Historical

🔖 "Beata is such a nice child," she says to Rosy's father, "and not one bit spoilt. I think it is sure to do Rosy good."But Rosy makes up her mind on the spot that she won't like Beata, and that her coming is on purpose to vex her, Rosy. "I wish I was back with auntie -- oh, I do, I do," she says, among her sobs. "Mamma doesn't love me. If she did, she wouldn't go and bring a nasty, horrible little girl to live with us. I hate her, and I shall always hate her -- nasty little thing!"Mary Louisa Molesworth (1836-1921), author of The Tapestry Room, tells of a girl's learning to recognize and rise above her limitations, in the entertaining and moving Rosy.
