Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 466
How many lumps of sugar Ought a little girl to useTo sweeten a cup of chocolate? I can take just what I choose. W 83S Five make it just like candy, And four are most as good-There s no one to say I must nt,Now I wonder if I should. … From the painting by H. Morisset. Three is what Nurse allows me,So that would be surely right. Uncle Jack takes two lumps alwaysAnd says it is out of sight. By permission of the artist. Five, four, three, two —I wonder-Or none, just like Papa? Well, after all, I 11 take but oneAnd copy my dear Mama.
