The rooms were so immense that every footstep echoed in them. And oh! how careful one had to be for the sake of that miserable china that Uncle Isaac had collected so much of. In the cabinets it was no trouble, but when it stood on tiny little tables, Johnny Blossom did not like it at all.

Uncle Isaac had once shown him all the china and explained how old and rare and precious it was.,"Look, look!" cried Judith, her eyes alight and her whole slender little figure relaxed. "Two trees are down!",“This is my friend, Bob Hazard, Mr. Holman,” he said. “Wanted to come and see a ranch.
