Vocabulary
Dame Goody was a nurse that looked after[2] sick people, and minded babies. One night she woke up at midnight, and when she went downstairs, she saw a strange squinny-eyed[3], little ugly old fellow, who asked her to come to his wife who was too ill to mind her baby. Dame Goody didn’t like the look of the old fellow, but business is business; so she popped on[4] her things, and went down to him. And when she got down to him, he whisked her up on to a large coal-black[5] horse with fiery eyes, that stood at the door; and soon they were going at a rare pace, Dame Goody holding on to the old fellow like grim death[6].
They rode, and they rode, till at last[7] they stopped before a cottage door. So they got down and went in and found the good woman abed with the children playing about; and the babe, a fine bouncing boy, beside her.
