 HISTORY 
 
 OF 
 
 GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 DERBY: 
 
 Printed by and for 
 THOMAS RICHARDSON, FRIAR-GATE , 
 
GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 It will be readily understood by our 
 young- readers, that the real name of 
 the little girl who is the heroine of this 
 story was not Goody Two-Shoes, but 
 Margery Meanwell. " Her father, Mr. 
 Meanwell, was for many years a very 
 respectable farmer in the parish of 
 Mouldwell, where Margery was born; 
 but misfortunes, and the cruel persecu- 
 tions of Sir Timothy Gripe, his land- 
 lord, and the rich Farmer Graspall, 
 ruined this worthy man, and was the 
 source of all poor Margery's troubles. 
 
 The estate was formerly divided in- 
 to small farms ; but when it came into 
 the possession of the selfish and avari- 
 cious Sir Timothy, he accepted the 
 offer of Farmer Graspall, to take the 
 whole farms at an advanced rent; and 
 they had succeeded in getting all the 
 tenants out, except Margery's father. 
 The overbearing Graspall was overseer 
 and churchwarden, and the mainte- 
 nance of the poor passed through his 
 hands; therefore, besides being anxious 
 to get this farm, he had a great hatred 
 
G GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 to Mr. Meanwell, who always befriend- 
 ed the pool', when oppressed by him 
 or Sir Timothy. At last, after various 
 schemes of villany, with the assistance 
 of this wicked baronet, he succeeded 
 in driving the worthy Meanwell out of 
 his farm, and utterly ruining- him. Sir 
 Timothy, after selling- off all their 
 g-oods for the rent, turned the whole 
 family out of doors ; and they left the 
 village in a state of beggary. 
 
 Farmer Meanwell died soon after of 
 a broken heart, and his poor wife, un- 
 able to struggle with misfortunes, only 
 survived him a few days, leaving- their 
 unfortunate offspring, Margery and 
 Tommy, friendless orphans in an un- 
 pi tying world. 
 
 The loss of their parents seemed to 
 endear these orphans more to each 
 other, and they were continually seen 
 strolling hand in hand about the vil- 
 lage, as if they were afraid of being 
 separated. Having no mother to take 
 care of them, they were both in rags, 
 and those of the meanest description. 
 Tommy, indeed, had a pair of shoes, 
 but poor Margery had only one. Their

 only sustenance was the haws which 
 they pulled off the hedges, or a small 
 morsel received from the poor villa- 
 gers, and they slept every night in a 
 barn. They had relations, but, as they 
 were rich, they took no notice of these 
 poor children; being ashamed to own 
 such a little ragged girl as Margery, 
 and such a dirty curly-headed boy as 
 Tommy. 
 
 Mr. Smith, the clergyman of the 
 parish where Margery and Tommy 
 were born, was a very worthy man, 
 and being at this time visited by a rich 
 and charitable friend, he told him the 
 story of the poor orphans. The gen- 
 tleman expressed a desire to see them, 
 
8 GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 and Mr. Smith sent a person to bring 
 them to the parsonage. They soon ar- 
 rived at the house, where their appear- 
 ance made a favourable impression on 
 the stranger, who gave Mr. Smith mo- 
 ney to bay some clothes for Margery, 
 and said that he would make Tommy a 
 little sailor. Tommy was happy to 
 hear this, and next day the gentleman 
 bought him a jacket and trowsers, of 
 which lie was very proud. Margery 
 could never give over admiring Tommy 
 in his new dress; but her happiness 
 met with a severe check, for the gentle- 
 man was to return to London in a few 
 days, and to take Tommy along with 
 him. 
 
 The parting of these children was 
 very affecting ; poor Margery's eyes were 
 red with crying, and her cheeks pale 
 with grief; while little Tommy, byway 
 of consolation, said he would never for- 
 get his dear sister, and kissed her a 
 hundred times over. As Tommy left 
 liis sister, he wiped her eyes with the 
 corner of his jacket, and promised to 
 return, and bring her fine things from 
 abroad. 
 
GOODY TWO-SHOES. 9 
 
 When Margery found that Tommy 
 did not come back, she cried all day 
 until she went to bed, and next morn- 
 ing- she went round to every one in the 
 village, weeping and lamenting that 
 her brother Tommy was gone. For- 
 tunately, while she was in this distress, 
 the shoemaker came with a pair of new 
 shoes, which the gentleman had order- 
 ed for her, and it being so long since 
 little Margery wore a pair of shoes, her 
 attention was so engaged as to give a 
 new turn to her thoughts. Nothing 
 but the pleasure of examining her two 
 shoes could have put a stop to the vio- 
 lence of her grief. She immediately 
 
10 
 
 GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 put on the shoes, and then went to let 
 Mrs. Smith see them. It was with de- 
 light that little Margery exhibited them 
 to her benefactress, saying, " Two shoes, 
 Ma'am ! see, two shoes !" She then went 
 through the whole villagers to show her 
 new shoes, addressing them in the same 
 way, until she got the name of " Little 
 Two-Shoes;" but, being a very good 
 child, they usually called her " Little 
 Goody Two-Shoes," and she never en- 
 tirely lost that name. 
 
 Little Margery could have passed 
 her life happily with Mr. and Mrs. 
 Smith, who were very kind to her; but 
 the cruel Farmer Graspall, whose ha- 
 tred to Mr. Meanwell even descended 
 to his offspring, told Mr. Smith, that he 
 must turn Margery away, or he would 
 reduce his tithes, and also added the 
 commands of Sir Timothy Gripe. The 
 worthy clergyman and his wife were 
 sorry to part with Margery, but being 
 so much in the power of their landlord, 
 they were obliged to send her away. 
 
 Poor Margery was again destitute of 
 friends; but, although very young', she 
 had observed the goodness and wisdom 
 
GOODY TWO-SHOES'. 
 
 11 
 
 of Mr. Smith, and believing that it was 
 owing- to his great learning, she became , 
 very desirous to know how to read. 
 Therefore she contrived to meet the 
 children as they returned from school, 
 and prevailed on one of them to learn 
 her the alphabet. She used to borrow 
 their books, and sit down and read till 
 they came from dinner. It was by 
 these means that she soon acquired more 
 learning than her playmates at school, 
 and in a short time she formed a little 
 plan for instructing children who had 
 not yet learned to read. 
 
 She found that there were twenty-six 
 letters in the alphabet, and every word 
 spelled with them; but as these letters 
 might be either large or small, she cut, 
 out of little pieces of wood, ten sets of 
 the alphabet in small letters, and ten of 
 the large, or capitals. With the assist- 
 ance of an old spelling-book she made 
 her companions arrange the words they 
 wanted to spell out of her wooden al- 
 phabets, and then showed them how to 
 make sentences. When they wished 
 to play at this game, she placed the 
 children around her, and grave them a 
 
12 
 
 GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 word to spell. If the word was plum- 
 pudding-, the first brought the letter p, 
 the second /, the third u, the fourth m 9 
 and so on, till the whole was completed. 
 
 By this method, in a short time Mar- 
 gery gained such great credit among" 
 the parents of the children, that they 
 were all happy when she appeared with 
 the basket of letters in her hand, which 
 proved a source of amusement, as well 
 as instruction, and she at last had a re- 
 gular set of scholars. 
 
 Margery usually left home at seven 
 o'clock in the morning, and the first 
 house she called at was Farmer Wilson's. 
 Mrs. Wilson always received her with 
 pleasure, sayings, "0 Little Goody, I 
 am glad to see you — Billy has learned 
 his lesson." The little boy was equally 
 happy to see her ; and after giving him 
 his lesson, she went to Farmer Simp- 
 son's. A dog used to bark at her when 
 she first went to that house, but he soon 
 learned to know her. " Come in, Mar- 
 gery," said Mrs. Simpson, " Sally wants 
 you very much, for she has learned her 
 lesson." Little Sally began her lesson, 
 by placing the syllables of two letters, 
 
GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 13 
 
 which she did very correctly, and pro- 
 nounced them as Goody Two-Shoes had 
 taught her. 
 
 After giving- her a new lesson in 
 words of four letters, Goody took leave, 
 and proceeded to Farmer Cooke's, 
 where a number of poor children were 
 assembled to receive her instructions. 
 The moment she appeared, they all 
 flocked round her, ami she made them 
 spell what they had got to dinner. Goody 
 gave them another lesson, and then 
 went to Farmer Thompson's, where she 
 had a great many scholars waiting for 
 her. These children were farther ad- 
 vanced, and not only able to spell words, 
 but some of them put long sentences 
 
14 
 
 GOODY TWO- SHOES. 
 
 together, and they all acquitted thei 
 selves to the satisfaction of their lithe 
 instructress. 
 
 It was during the time that Goody 
 Two-Shoes went about teaching the 
 children, that the rich Lady "Duckling- 
 ton died, and was buried in the parish 
 church-yard. 
 
 The whole county seemed to be as- 
 sembled on this occasion, and it was 
 late before the funeral was over. In 
 the night-time, when every one was in 
 bed, the bells in the church-steeple were 
 heard to jingle, which frightened the 
 villagers very much, for they thought it 
 must be the ghost of Lady Ducklington 
 amusing itself with the bell-ropes. 
 
 The people all flocked to Will Dob- 
 bins, the clerk, and begged him to go 
 and see what it was; but Will said he 
 knew it was a ohost, and therefore he 
 would not open the door. However, 
 the rector, Mr. Long, hearing such an 
 uproar, came to the clerk, and inquired 
 why he did not go to the church. " I 
 go to the church, Sir! said he; "bless 
 me! the ghost would frighten me to 
 death." 
 
GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 15 
 
 "Did von ever see a iHiost?" said 
 Mr. Long*. 
 
 " My father once saw one in the shape 
 of a windmill, and it walked round the 
 church in a white sheet, with jack-hoots, 
 and a sword hy its side." 
 
 Mr. Long-, who could not help smiling 
 at this ridiculous story, requested the 
 key of the church; and on receiving it, 
 went away, followed hy a great num- 
 ber of the villagers, and opened the 
 door, when out came Little Goody Two- 
 Shoes, who, being tired with walking 
 about all the day, had fallen asleep du- 
 ring the funeral service, and been shut 
 up in the church. 
 
 Goody begged Mr. Long's pardon for 
 the trouble she had given him; and 
 said, that when she found herself lock- 
 ed into the church, she did not wish to 
 ring the bells; but growing very cold, 
 and hearing Farmer Dawson's man pass 
 by, she thought he would have gone to 
 the clerk for the key. When Mr. Long 
 went away, the people all crowded about 
 little Margery, to learn what she had 
 heard or seen, and she told them as fol- 
 lows : — 
 
JO GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 " I went to the church with yon all 
 to the funeral, and fell asleep in Mr. 
 Jones's pew ; the striking of the clock 
 awakened me, and I scarcely knew 
 where I was. It was very dark, and 
 while I was in the pew, something 
 jumped upon me behind, and I thought 
 it placed its hands upon my shoulders ; 
 I was afraid, at first, and I knelt down 
 and said my prayers; but something 
 very cold touched my neck, and made 
 me start, I walked down the church 
 aisle, and something followed me, the 
 feet of which went pit pat; something 
 then touched my hand ; however, as I 
 was very cold, I felt my way. up into 
 the pulpit. I then meant to go to sleep 
 on the mat and cushion, but something 
 
GOODY TWO-SHOES, 17 
 
 pushed against the doov v and presently 
 I found that it was Mr. Sanderson's 
 dog", which had come with me to the 
 church. When I heard Farmer Daw- 
 son's man, I immediately went to the 
 belfry, and made the noise you heard/' 
 
 Some days after this, as Little Goody 
 was returning' from her pupils rather 
 later than usual, she was overtaken by 
 a voilent storm of thunder and light- 
 ning; but she took refuge in a farmer's 
 barn, and lay down among- some straw 
 at the farther end. She had not re- 
 mained long", before four robbers also 
 sought shelter from the storm in the 
 same place, and not observing" Little 
 Goody, who was at some distance, they 
 
18 GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 began to arrange their future plans of 
 depredation. 
 
 Among other schemes of villany, 
 they formed the resolution of breaking 
 into the houses of Sir William Dove 
 and Sir Timothy Gripe on the night 
 following, and to plunder them of all 
 their money, plate, -and jewels. 
 
 During their conversation, Little 
 Goody listened with great attention; 
 but the tempest being over, the rob- 
 bers left the barn, without discovering 
 that they had been overheard. When 
 she thought they were fairlv gone, 
 Goody made the best of her way home , 
 and, rising early next morning, went 
 to Sir William Dove, and told him 
 all that she had heard. The knight 
 asked her name, and then giving her 
 some money, desired her to call on him 
 next day. — Goody next proceeded to 
 Sir Timothy Gripe's, and sent in her 
 name by the servant; but, as he refu- 
 sed to see her, she, with some difficul- 
 ty, got admittance to Lady Gripe, and 
 related what she had heard in the 
 barn. This lady was a very sensible 
 woman, and did not despise the infer- 
 
GOODY TWO-SHOES. 19 
 
 million; but she secretly engaged peo- 
 ple to guard the house; and when the 
 robbers came in two parties to attack 
 both houses, they were all taken and 
 sent to gaol. 
 
 Sir William Dove, who was grateful 
 for the service Little Goody had done 
 him, said she should no longer sleep in 
 a barn, as he would try to get some 
 proper situation for her; but the wicked 
 Sir Timothy was vexed that his life 
 had been saved by her means, and ne- 
 ver rewarded, or even thanked her. 
 
 The most respectable school in that 
 neighbourhood was conducted by a Mrs. 
 Williams, a very good lady ; but old 
 age induced her to resign the situation, 
 which Sir William Dove getting notice 
 of, sent for her, and recommended Lit- 
 tle Goody as a person worthy to suc- 
 ceed her. As Mrs. Williams already 
 knew that Margery had a good heart, 
 she found, upon examination, her head 
 to be equally so; and being every way 
 qualified for the place, Margery was, at 
 the old lady's request, appointed to suc- 
 ceed her. 
 
 This event Margery always consider- 
 
20 
 
 GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 ed as the happiest of her life, and she 
 made every exertion to be useful to the 
 children who were put under her charge. 
 She was now no longer called Maryery, 
 or Little Goody Two- Shoes, but only 
 known by the name of Mrs. Maryery. 
 
 The school-room was large, and she 
 hung her old wooden letters around it; 
 so that every scholar had to bring a let- 
 ter in turn, which she considered as 
 conducive to health. As her chief ob- 
 ject was not to gain money, but to be 
 of service to the children, she taught 
 all those for nothing whose parents 
 could not afford to pay for their in- 
 struction. 
 
 Margery had a very feeling heart, 
 and could not endure to see even a 
 dumb animal used with cruelty, with- 
 out trying to prevent it. As she was 
 one day walking through the village, 
 her attention was drawn to some boys, 
 who were tying a poor raven, which 
 they had caught, to a post, on purpose 
 to amuse themselves with the cruel di- 
 version of shying, or throwing a stick 
 at it. Margery, to get the raven out of 
 their hands, gave them a penny, and 
 
GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 21 
 
 brought it home with her. She called 
 the raven Ralph ; taught him to speak 
 and spell; and as he was fond of play- 
 ing with the capital letters, the children 
 called them "Ralph's Alphabet." 
 
 Shortly after, when rambling in the 
 fields, she saw two boys torturing a 
 beautiful dove, by allowing' it to fly a 
 little way, and then pulling it back 
 again, with a string- which was tied 
 to its foot. Margery also rescued 
 this bird for a mere trifle, and car- 
 ried it away with her. She likewise 
 learned the dove to spell with her let- 
 ters, besides many other curious things; 
 and being very useful in carry letters, 
 she called him Tom. It is a most cu- 
 
22 GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 rious fact, that Tom showed as great a 
 liking to the small letters as Ralph 
 had for the large, and the scholars used 
 to give them the appellation of " Tom's 
 Alphabet." 
 
 Another useful assistant of Mrs. 
 Margery's was a fine skylark, which 
 some of the neighbours made her a pre- 
 sent of. As some children are very 
 fond of lying in bed too long in the 
 morning, she sent this pretty bird, 
 which sung sweetly at their window, 
 and taught them when to rise. 
 
 A poor little lamb, which had lost 
 its dam, was about to be killed by the 
 butcher, when Margery making a bar- 
 gain with him for it, took it home, and 
 
GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 23 
 
 called it Will. He tatfght the children 
 when to go to bed, and being- very gen- 
 tle, was a great favourite; but he only 
 carried home the satchel of those who 
 behaved, best, and brought it asrain in 
 the morning-. She also got a present of 
 a little dog, called Jumper, who was 
 very sagacious, and might have been 
 termed Porter of the School, for 
 he never allowed any unknown per- 
 son to enter. 
 
 One day, as Mrs. Margery was amus- 
 ing the children after school-time with 
 some innocent diversion, a man brought 
 the sad news, that Sally Jones's father 
 was thrown from his horse, and in 
 great danger, which affected the poor 
 girl very much. Margery gave Tom, 
 the pigeon, to the messenger, unknown 
 to the children, that he niioiit bring 
 back an account of Mr. Jones's health, 
 and then did every thing she could to 
 sooth Sally. It was not long before 
 the pigeon returned with a letter in his 
 bill, which informed them that he Avas 
 considered out of danger. 
 
 A few days afterwards, little Jumper 
 gave a wonderful proof of his sagacity. 
 
24 GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 The children had just finished their 
 lessons, when the dog- ran in, and, seiz- 
 ing- Margery's apron, tried to pull her 
 out of the school-room. She allowed 
 the dog to drag- her out to the garden, 
 and he returned and brought out one 
 of the children in the same maimer; 
 upon which Mrs. Margery called them 
 all into the garden. This saved all 
 their lives, for in less than five minutes 
 after the roof of the house fell in. 
 
 This was a great loss to Mrs. Marge- 
 ry, who had now no place to teach inj 
 but Sir William Dove caused another 
 school to be built at his own expense, 
 and she got the use of Farmer Grove's 
 hall till it was ready, which was in the 
 centre of the village. While there, she 
 
GOODY TWO-SHOES. 25 
 
 learned the farmer's servants and 
 neighbours to read and write, and 
 by degrees became so esteemed in the 
 parish, that almost every one consulted 
 her, and many serious disputes were 
 settled by her advice. Mrs. Margery 
 was so frequently employed in making 
 up differences, that she invented what 
 she called, a Charm for the Passions, or 
 a Considering- Cap, which had three e- 
 qual sides. On the first was written, 
 " I may be wrong- )" on the second, 
 "It is fifty to one but you are;" and 
 on the third, ** I will consider of it :" 
 the other parts were covered with curi- 
 ous hieroglyphics, and in the inside a 
 direction for using- it. The possessor 
 was requested to put on the cap when- 
 
26 
 
 GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 ever lie found his passion rising-, and 
 not to speak a single word, but with 
 coolness and deliberation. 
 
 Most of the grounds farmed by Mr. 
 Grove, and in that neighbourhood, were 
 meadows, and the great dependence of 
 the farmers was on their hay, which for 
 some years had been much injured by 
 the rain. Mrs. Margery, who was al- 
 ways doing- g-ood, contrived an instru- 
 ment to tell when the weather was to 
 continue favourable or unfavourable; 
 by which means she told the farmers 
 when to mow their grass and gather in 
 the hay with safety. Several persons, 
 who suffered in their crops by not con- 
 sulting Margery, were so angry at their 
 losses, that they accused her of being a 
 witch, and sent Gaffer Goosecap, a sil- 
 ly old meddling fool, to obtain evidence 
 against her. 
 
 This old fellow entered the school as 
 Margery was walking about, having 
 the raven on one shoulder, the pigeon 
 on the other, the lark on her hand, and 
 the lamb and dog at her side, and he 
 was so frightened, that he cried, "A 
 witch! a witch!" Margery exclaimed, 
 
GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 smiling, "A conjurer! a conjurer!" 
 and he ran off ; but soon after a war- 
 rant was issued against her, and she 
 was carried before a meeting of the jus- 
 tices, followed by all the neighbours. 
 Although this accusation met with the 
 contempt it deserved, yet one of the 
 magistrates was silly enough to believe 
 the slander, and asked, who could give 
 her a character. Margery inquired if 
 any one there could speak against it, 
 and told them, that she had many 
 friends both able and willing to defend 
 her, but she could not think of troub- 
 ling them on such a silly business, for 
 if she was a witch, she would show 
 them her charm. She then took out 
 
28 
 
 GOODY TWO-SHOES. 
 
 her weather-glass, and placed it upon 
 the table. 
 
 This simple defence pleased every 
 one, and Sir William Dove, who was 
 one of the justices, said, " I am surpri- 
 sed that any person can be so foolish as 
 to believe in the existence of witches. 
 
 Tli is puts me in mind of a story of a 
 poor industrious widow, against whom 
 the same silly charge was made. The 
 foolish people had got it into their heads 
 that she was a witch, and requested the 
 parson not to allow her to come to 
 church. He very properly refused their 
 request; but the poor woman, to avoid 
 insult, was forced to sit in some obscure 
 corner. However, some time after this, 
 she was left five thousand pounds by a 
 
GOODY TWO-SHOES. 29 
 
 brother, which changed the public opi- 
 nion so much, that they all treated her 
 with respect.'' 
 
 Sir Charles Jones, who was present 
 on this occason, was so delighted with 
 her conduct, that he offered her a hand- 
 some annuity to superintend his fami- 
 ly and the education of his daughter. 
 This she refused at first, but Sir 
 Charles being seized with a severe fit 
 of illness, and again entreating her, she 
 at last consented. In this situation, 
 she conducted herself with so much pro- 
 priety, and behaved so tenderly to his 
 daughter, that, on his recovery, when 
 she proposed to leave him, he made her 
 an offer of his hand. Margery was 
 neither ambitious of title nor wealth, 
 but she knew the real value of the wor- 
 thy baronet, and esteemed him as he 
 deserved ; therefore, after he had amply 
 provided for his daughter, she consent- 
 ed to become Lady Jones. 
 
 When this circumstance was under- 
 stood in the neighbourhood, it diffused 
 a general joy throughout the village, 
 where Margery was greatly beloved, 
 and brought crowds to witness the mar-

 riage. The clergyman was proceeding 
 with the ceremony, when a young gen- 
 tleman, handsomely dressed, came rim- 
 ing into the church, and requested that 
 the ceremony might be stopped until he 
 had a conversation with the bride. The 
 whole assembly were astonished at his 
 request, particularly the bride and 
 bridegroom, who stood motionless with- 
 out having power to return an answer 
 to the stranger. However, the gentle- 
 man coming forward, discovered him- 
 self to be Tommy, her brother, and she 
 fainted away in his arms. 
 
 Tommy Meanwell had just landed 
 from abroad, where he had made a 
 great fortune, which he intended to

 share with his dear sister, when he 
 heard of her intended marriage, and 
 posted to be present on the occasion. 
 After mutual congratulations, this hap- 
 py pair were united, and lived happily 
 together many years, doing all the good 
 in their power. 
 
 Sir Timothy Gripe was struck off 
 the list of justices \ and oue of his re- 
 lations gained possession of his estates, 
 which he sold to Lady Jones, who d ivi- 
 ed them again into small farms. In 
 the course of time, both Sir Timothy 
 and Farmer Graspall were so reduced 
 as to be supported by the charity of La- 
 dy Jones, who delighted in relieving 
 the indigent, rewarding the industrious, 
 and instructing the children in the 
 neighbourhood. 
 
 Having lived to an advanced age in 
 the constant practice of virtue, and hav- 
 ing made some liberal bequests in favour 
 of her fellow-creatures, her spirit re- 
 turned to God who gave it, leaving all 
 who knew her to mourn her departure.
