“Yes, you had better,” said Aunt Grenertsen. But when he had gone into the hall she called, “Johnny Blossom!” She wept to the memory of times past, and there was a romantic sadness in her feelings, luxurious and indefinable.

Still through the deep'ning gloom of bow'ry shades “What?” exploded the boy, anxiously. Absolute silence again. If only the cuckoo in the clock would come out and call!
