“Yes,” said Johnny Blossom. Bob thought he detected a little note of disappointment in his chum’s tone, but the words of congratulation seemed sincere. “He has pains in his back—right there—tearing his back to pieces, he says; and he lies there alone all day except when Maria Kopp or I go to see to him.

If it would only rain enough so that the whole world would be covered with water, there might be some fun in it. If people had to go in boats, and nobody could walk anywhere, but every one had to swim, that would be jolly! “Yes—it was as unlucky as it could be,” said Tellef. “Perhaps it is as well not to say anything about the umbrella just at first.” “Here is a Christmas present for you,” said John. “It is to hang on the wall so you can see it, Jeremias.
