      FIVE HAPPY WEEKS.

      CHAPTER I.

      GOOD-BY, MAMMA!

      I don't see how I can do such a thing, said mamma, shading her eyes with a hand so white and thin that you could almost see through it. I never, never can go away, for five weeks, and leave these children; I should not have a moment's peace.
