"Well," said Kŭt-o-yĭs´, "you may go and breed more bears." "What are you doing?" asks Geoffrey, presently, when they have returned to everyday life.

All sorts of pretty, sweetly-smelling old wild blossoms are blooming in them, as gayly as though they have forgotten the fact that autumn is rejoicing in all its matured beauty.
