But see you do not open the door to any one till we come home again . ' ` Very well , dear father , ' replied the girls . For two years they never left the house or unlocked the door ; but one day , when they had washed their clothes , and were spreading them out on the roof to dry , the girls looked down into the street where people were walking to and fro , and across to the market , with its stalls of fresh meat , vegetable , and other nice things . ` Come here , ' cried one . ` It makes me quite hungry ! Why should not we have our share ? Let one of us go to the market , and buy meat and vegetables . ' ` Oh , we must n't do that !

She went up to the eldest girl , and said : ` Where shall I begin on you , you fat bolster ? ' ` You must begin , ' answered she ` with the hand which struck my little sister .
