The LeBlond Book by C. T. Courtney Lewis
Here is another beautiful country lane, and on the left, seated by a cottage door, with his pack on the ground, is the pedlar, who, with uplifted arm, holding one of his choicest articles of commerce, is dilating on its merits to some of the cottagers; the little boy of the party seems to be much attracted by his eloquence, and would much like to invest. ‘Polly,’ the parrot, in her cage, is listening, ready to repeat all she hears. ‘Fido,’ the dog, watches over the interests of his mistress, regretful that although he can protect her person, he may not be so successful as regards her pocket.
