LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE

INSCRIBED—WITH ALL FAITH AND AFFECTION—

To all the little children:—The happy ones; and sad ones;

The sober and the silent ones; the boisterous and glad ones;

The good ones, yes the good ones, too; and all the lovely bad ones.

The same as bats er lightnin'-bugs!—An' knows 'bout Ring-mo-rees

'At thist can take an' turn theirselves in anything they please!
