Slovenly Peter, or, Cheerful stories and funny pictures for good little folks : illustrations colored by hand after the original style (1919)
Hoffmann, Heinrich, 1809-1894 · Philadelphia : John C. Winston · leaf 56
Betsy would never wash herselfWhen from her bed she rose, But just as quickly as she couldShe hurried on her clothes. To keep her clothes all nice and clean Miss Betsy took no pains;In holes her stockings always were, Her dresses filled with stains. Sometimes she went day after dayAnd never combed… … One rainy day her parents wentSome pleasant friends to meet; They took Miss Betsy with them,And dressed her clean and neat. Nice little boys and girls were there,With whom our Betsy played, Until of playing she grew tired,And to the garden strayed.
