Faith 's amiable wish was fulfilled . The next day found Aunt Martha still unable to rise . Carl , too , was still sick and easily prevailed on to stay in bed . Neither Faith nor Una had any idea how sick the boy really was ; a watchful mother would have had a doctor without delay ; but there was no mother , and poor little Carl , with his sore throat and aching head and crimson cheeks , rolled himself up in his twisted bedclothes and suffered alone , somewhat comforted by the companionship of a small green lizard in the pocket of his ragged nighty . The world was full of summer sunshine after the rain . It was a peerless day for house-cleaning and Faith and Una went gaily to work . `` We 'll clean the dining-room and the parlour , '' said Faith . `` It would n't do to meddle with the study , and it does n't matter much about the upstairs . The first thing is to take everything out . '' Accordingly , everything was taken out . The furniture was piled on the veranda and lawn and the Methodist graveyard fence was gaily draped with rugs . An orgy of sweeping followed , with an attempt at dusting on Una 's part , while Faith washed the windows of the dining-room , breaking one pane and cracking two in the process . Una surveyed the streaked result dubiously . `` They do n't look right , somehow , '' she said . `` Mrs. Elliott 's and Susan 's windows just shine and sparkle . '' `` Never mind . They let the sunshine through just as well , '' said Faith cheerfully . `` They MUST be clean after all the soap and water I 've used , and that 's the main thing . Now , it 's past eleven , so I 'll wipe up this mess on the floor and we 'll go outside . You dust the furniture and I 'll shake the rugs .
I 'm going XXXXX do it in the graveyard .
