24. The Birthday. (Dialogue the 5th.)
A. Is not to-day the eleventh of June?
B. Yes, why do you ask?
A. Have you forgotten, that it is LTncle’s birthday
to-day ?
B. So it is, and we have not bought any presents, I
had quite forgotten all about it.
A. I thought we should not remember it; and now,
what are we to do? You know, we always give him
something; lie will think it unkind if Ave do not.
B. What are we to do? He will be sure to call and

the day».

JJ. A thousand thanks, my dear girls, for this
affectionate remembrance of your old Uncle; it is indeed a beautiful
ornament.
C. Some day you must give me my revenge, Uncle,
for the last game you won.
U. We won’t put it off to »some day»; our object in
calling was, to ask you to come and drink tea with us this
evening, if you are not engaged.
B. Oh no, we shall be delighted to accept your
