and Nan sat up with a face full of interest . `` I had a new pair of shoes once , and wanted to show them ; so , though I was told not to leave the garden , I ran away and was wandering about all day . It was in the city , and why I was n't killed I do n't know . Such a time as I had . I frolicked in the park with dogs , sailed boats in the Back Bay with strange boys , dined with a little Irish beggar-girl on salt fish and potatoes , and was found at last fast asleep on a door-step with my arms round a great dog . It was late in the evening , and I was a dirty as a little pig , and the new shoes were worn out I had travelled so far . '' `` How nice ! '' cried Nan , looking all ready to go and do it herself . `` It was not nice next day ; '' and Mrs. Jo tried to keep her eyes from betraying how much she enjoyed the memory of her early capers . `` Did your mother whip you ? '' asked Nan , curiously . `` She never whipped me but once , and then she begged my pardon , or I do n't think I ever should have forgiven her , it hurt my feelings so much . '' `` Why did she beg your pardon ? my father do n't . '' `` Because , when she had done it , I turned round and said , ` Well , you are mad yourself , and ought to be whipped as much as me . ' She looked at me a minute , then her anger all died out , and she said , as if ashamed , ` You are right , Jo , I am angry ; and why should I punish you for being in a passion when I set you such a bad example ? Forgive me , dear , and let us try to help one another in a better way . ' I never forgot it , and it did me more good than a dozen rods . '' Nan sat thoughtfully turning the little cold-cream jar for a minute , and Mrs. Jo said nothing , but let that idea get well into the busy little mind that was so quick to see and feel what went on about her . `` I like that , '' said Nan , presently , and her face looked less elfish , with its sharp eyes , inquisitive nose , and mischievous mouth .
