These pages illustrate thoughtless behavior and depicts a young girl standing amidst her toys that are strewn about the room. The text reads: "Betsy is thoughtless young and gay, and heedless of her ways; Pays no regard to what you say, nor regards what she says. Her toys are thrown about the room, and then she asks for new; I think, unless she alters soon, some punishment is due."
