Trif and Trixy: A Story of a Dreadfully, Delightful Little Girl and Her Adoring and Tormented Parents, Relations and Friends

Excerpt from Trif and Trixy: A Story of a Dreadfully Delightful Little Girl and Her Adoring and Tormented Parents, Relations and Friends Rixy was not a babe, for she had passed her seventh birthday and was as wise and irrepressible as the only child of a loving father and mother usually becomes. Her parents and relations continued to allude to her as the baby, and they might still be doing so had not certain of her deeds checked them, and compelled them to restrict themselves to her rightful name, which was Beatrice, and to her nickname, which was Trixy.
