  "I'M LOOKING AT THE GREAT BIG GLOBE THAT UNCLE JOE
     SAID I MIGHT TOUCH," SAID LUCY                  _Front._

  "DO PLEASE SIT DOWN, THERE'S A GOOD MOTHER BUNCH,
     AND TELL ME ALL ABOUT THEM?"                        19

  LUCY HAD A GREAT SNEEZING FIT, AND WHEN SHE LOOKED
     AGAIN INTO THE SMOKE, WHAT DID SHE SEE BUT TWO
     LITTLE BLACK FIGURES                                23

  "I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU: HUSH, DON! DON'T BARK SO"     26

  "I CAN EAT MUCH BETTER WITHOUT," SAID LAVO             31

  LAVO HAD CLIMBED UP THE SIDE OF THE DOOR, AND WAS
     SITTING ASTRIDE ON THE TOP OF IT                    34

  "AH! CECCO, CECCO!" CRIED THE LITTLE GIRL, PAUSING
     AS SHE BEAT HER TAMBOURINE                          39

  "IS THAT THE WAY YOU GET FISH?" SHE ASKED              46

  "HELP ME: I'M AFRAID," SAID LUCY                       53

  HARK! THERE'S A CRY, AND OUT JUMPS A LITTLE BLACK
     FIGURE, WITH A STOUT CLUB IN HIS HAND               59

  AND HERE BESIDE HER WAS A LITTLE FELLOW WITH A
     BOW AND ARROWS SUCH AS SHE HAD NEVER SEEN
     BEFORE                                              65

  "IS IT NOT GOOD?" SAID THE LITTLE HOSTESS              73

  WHISKING OVER THE SNOW, WITH ALL HER MIGHT AND
     MAIN, MUFFLED UP IN CLOAKS AND FURS                 78

  "MARRIED! OH NO, YOU ARE JOKING"                       87

  "I WILL SHOW YOU WHERE YOU LIVE--THIS IS
     CONSTANTINOPLE"                                     93

  "I CUT IT OUT WITH MY KNIFE; ALL MYSELF"               99

  WHILE HE JERKED OUT HIS ARMS AND LEGS AS IF THEY
     WERE PULLED BY STRINGS                             103

  "SEE NOW," CRIED THE SPANIARD; "STAND THERE! AH!
     HAVE YOU NO CASTANETS?"                            111

  "WHAT ARE YOU ABOUT, LITTLE BOY?"                     115

  "AH! MADEMOISELLE, GOOD MORNING; ARE YOU COME HERE
     TO TAKE SHELTER FROM THE SHELLS?"                  122

  "WHAT CAN THAT BE, COMING AT THIS TIME OF DAY?"       127

  "GOOD MORNING, WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?"               130

  OH! SUCH A DIN                                        136




LITTLE LUCY'S WONDERFUL GLOBE.




CHAPTER I.

MOTHER BUNCH.

sisters out of the night nursery, covered Lucy up close, and ordered
her not to stir, certainly not to go into her bath. Then there was a
whispering and a running about, and Lucy was half alarmed, but more
pleased at being so important, for she did not feel at all ill, and
