I knew of one thing I would never do again.

She coaxed me into the grove where we had another play spell.
I needed just that kind of thing, and what a time it was for me! A pleasant sadness comes when I think of that day--it was so long ago.

As the Dunkelbergs left us I stood looking down the road on which they were disappearing and saw in the sky and the distant, purple hills and sloping meadows the beauty of the world.

The roaring aeroplane of a humming bird whirled about me and sped through the hollyhock towers.

I followed and watched the tiny air-ship sticking its prow in their tops, as if it would have me see how wonderful they were, before it sped away.
Breast deep in the flowers I forgot my loneliness for a few minutes.
