Rambling W ith Lucy
(Lucy R. Woods)
Once upon a time there lived a little white-haired girl
at "The Hut" who was exactly four years, three months and
five days of age on Christmas Day.
She had been looking forward to Santa Claus' visit for
she thought perhaps he'd bring her a slate and slate pencil.
She'd pleaded with her Daddy to •get her one but he replied
that they weren't hygenic. They bred germs!
She dreamed one night that there was one under her
parent's bed'. But when she looked there was nothing! She
wished to be a school teacher and how would she ever get
to be a school teacher without a slate and pencil?
Her cousins Ruby, Nan and Isabel all had slates, and
it was such. fun to visit them on the farm. They allowed, her
to play with their slates, Ruby and Nan drew lines and
taught her to make circles and figures.
And' so her hope was pinned on Santa!
"The Hut" was small. Daddy had to have one room for
;his medical consulting room, Sister Jean occupied' the crib
and Lucy was put to sleep on her parents' bed and then
carried out to the lounge in the livingroom each night when
they went to bed'.
On Christmas Eve she hung her stocking up behind the
coal heater where it was nice and warm for Santa, and she
said "Now I lay me" and went to ,bed and to sleep.
Just about daybreak she was awakened by a scratching
at the door between the diningroom and sitting room. She
opened her eyes.
Was that Santa Claus? Then the door creaked open and
in the half darkness she saw an animal coming in. Horrors!
It was a bear! She closed her eyes tightly, stiffened and
held her breath, waiting for the big black bear to reach her!
But the sound! of the footsteps passed by the lounge,
went into her parents bedroom, turned around and went out
again. Then she knew that it was "Gip", the black spaniel,
but she was still frightened.
When she dared to open her eyes again, she saw a little
'Christmas tree near the door and beside it she could' make
out the outline of a small table and chair. (Years later she
learned that her dear mother had taken hammer and saw
and made them for her, and painted them green). And then
she saw two dolls on •the tree. But still she didn't stir off
the lounge. It just might have ;been a big black bear, so
she waited until mother got up.
Then she found that -a friend of her mother's had sent
the pretty dolls (so different from their rag ones), for her
and her sister. For in those days one was happy and content
with one Christmas gift. This was extra special. And
sister Jean, one year, four months and four days old, grab-
bed her own doll by the leg and whacked its head on the
chair. The poor thing had no head left! It was heart
breaking.
In- her stocking Santa had put an orange ('a rare treat
in those days), chocolate creams, and home made candY--
not one of the' beautiful coloured candies she'd seen in jars
and boxes in Whiddon's store!
Daddy always' said "No, you can have home made
candy or chocolate creams, but one cannot rely on the purity
of artificial colouring and they might make you ill." And
how she wanted those forbidden candies!
She was greatly excited over Santa having left her -a
table and chair of her very own, but it was no substitute
for a slate and pencil!
She was eight years' of age when she started to school
and then, at last, she acquired the coveted slate and slate
pencil. With it she was provided' with a bit of sponge, a
bottle of water for erasing the work and ,a cloth for drying
her slate.
But Lucy never became a school teacher!
Hoping sour Christmas will
be as peaceful and bright as
the fallen snou
