The eldest was but ten years old, and the youngest only seven. People wondered that the woodcutter had so many children so near in age, but the fact was, that several of them were twins. He and his wife were very poor, and their seven children were a great burden to them, as not one of them was yet able to earn his livelihood.

He was very diminutive, and, when first born, scarcely bigger than one's thumb, and so they called him Little Thumbling.,"It can be avoided, and still your property may be preserved to you," exclaimed the Admiral.

And he breathed so strangely. He had been breathing something like that these last few days, but today it was worse, and he didn’t hurry even when Johnny struck him again with the whip.

"Once or twice I thought we were goners, but you pulled the old girl through nobly.",“Where’s the Boss?” he demanded of the Chinaman who served Mr. Whitney. “Gone to bed?”,At length they reached the house where the candle was shining, not without many alarms, for often they lost sight of it altogether, and always when they went down into the hollows.

Little Thumbling told her they were poor children who had lost their way in the forest, and who begged a night's lodgings for charity's sake.

What servant did you bribe to leave the window open for you at this hour?","I shall do only what you wish," returns he, chivalrously, arranging the cushion that adorns the back of her chair.,Finally, Isabella decided to slip round by the back of the house and meet Maurice at the gate. Dido was occupied in questioning Battersea about the devil-stick on the verandah. So, after a glance to assure herself that the pair were in earnest conversation, Isabella put on a straw hat and ran lightly away to see her lover. She passed out by a side door, danced like a fairy across the intervening space of lawn, and slipped laughingly into the narrow path which wound through the wood to the avenue near the gates.,But it puzzled him to know why Jerry could be a traitor to Mr. Whitney and the Service.
