He must go home and tell Mother. It was dreadful to do it, but he must, he must. “This is delightful weather,” said Johnny Blossom, although just then another wild gust of wind made Jeremias’s little house shake violently. “Here is a Christmas present for you,” said John. “It is to hang on the wall so you can see it, Jeremias. Isn’t it pretty?” 'I am dying,' said he, in a faultering accent; 'send instantly for the marchioness and my son.'.
