It is needless, of course, to say that this searching walk was in vain.

"But the song in his mouth has not the moving sweetness papa gave it." He bowed with the vehemence of a man who butts at another, struck the floor hard with his staff, and rolled out on legs that showed themselves more expeditious than his years seemed to promise.
