"Every morning they torment me like this," she says, turning to Geoffrey, with a little pleasant confidential nod.,'On the following day he came to the cell, and informed me my children were going into the woods, and that I might see them from a window near which they would pass. My nerves thrilled at these words, and I could scarcely support myself to the spot I so eagerly sought.

So Johnny Blossom darted into the house and raced around to find Asta and the maids, to tell them the remarkable happenings of the afternoon.,Bob was silent a moment, contrasting the life of ease he had spent with the experiences he had just listened to.
