'Good-night, you sweet mummy,' said the babies faintly.
'We had fun, didn't we?'
'Oh but such fun!' murmured the babies, with their eyes shut.
'God bless you, precious babies.'
'God bless you, pwecious mummy,'—and then a voice out of the darkness added very slowly and drowsily 'Sleep—well—mummykins—and dweam—about—one—pwetty—angel—'
THE END
Elizabeth and her German Garden
BY
The Author of “The Solitary Summer”
12mo. Cloth. $1.75
KATE SANBORN says:
"The moment such a volume is taken up the pleasant spell acts upon eyes and finger-tips, and one likes the book before it is read."
THE ACADEMY (London):
"Reading on, we find ourselves in the presence of a whimsical, humorous, cultured, and very womanly woman, with a pleasant, old-fashioned liking for homeliness and simplicity; with a wise husband, three merry babies, a few friends, a gardener, an old German house to repose in, an agreeable literary gift, and a slight touch of cynicism. Such is Elizabeth. It is a charming book."

The Solitary Summer
BY THE AUTHOR OF
“Elizabeth and her German Garden”
12mo. Cloth. $1.50
EVENING POST:
"A continuation of that delightful chronicle of days spent in and about one of the most delightful gardens known to modern literature. The author's exquisite humor is ever present, and her descriptions ... have a wonderful freshness and charm."
GLASGOW HERALD:
"Perhaps even more charming than the fascinating original, which is saying a great deal."
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE:
"One of the most charming books that has been published for many a month."
THE TIMES (London):
"It is inspired by a garden and very happily inspired. The best praise we can give it—and it is really very high praise—is to call it a sequel to 'Elizabeth,' which has all the charm of its predecessor and none of the common faults of a sequel."
