Oh, shocking! I have a little boy, younger than you, who knows six
Psalms by heart: and when you ask him which he would rather have, a
gingerbread nut to eat or a verse of a Psalm to learn, he says:
"Oh! The verse of a Psalm! Angels sing Psalms;" says he,
"I wish to be a little angel here below;" he then gets two
nuts in recompense for his infant piety.'
