“That’s fine new tackle you have,” said William Holm to Tellef one afternoon. ANY ONE would be sick of it! thought Johnny Blossom. He couldn’t even appear in the street without people rushing to him to question and pry as to how it had happened, and how he had felt that time he lay out on the red buoy and they all thought at home that he was drowned. He was completely sick of it. So Johnny Blossom repeated the little prayers he had said every night since he was two years old, and was soon sleeping peacefully..

Vincent was to be interred, according to his own desire, in the church belonging to the convent of St Nicholas. One of the servants, after receiving some necessary orders concerning the funeral, ventured to inform the marquis of the appearance of the lights in the south tower. He mentioned the superstitious reports that prevailed amongst the household, and complained that the servants would not cross the courts after it was dark. 'And who is he that has commissioned you with this story?' said the marquis, in a tone of displeasure; 'are the weak and ridiculous fancies of women and servants to be obtruded upon my notice? Away—appear no more before me, till you have learned to speak what it is proper for me to hear.' Robert withdrew abashed, and it was some time before any person ventured to renew the subject with the marquis. “Haven’t you anything to say for yourself?” snapped the man. “Is Bob right?” “Are you sure of it?” Johnny’s blue eyes gazed earnestly at his mother. “Shall we say our prayers?” asked Tellef..
