Chapter III

Mistress O'Hara has taken her stand,
With rage in her heart and a stick in her hand;
So fierce is her frown and so wild is her eye,
That poor Yama-Guchi feels ready to die.

Her patience is stretched to the end of its tether,
She knocks all the heads of the children together;
Then--when she's reduced them to sorrow and tears--
She repents of her harshness--the poor little dears!

She agrees to forget and forgive just once more,
And homewards they stroll by the sunshiny shore;
You can see by the picture how happy they look--
On the next page you'll see the effect on--

the COOK!!
