Roger [watching her]. I know what Mother is thinking of!
Mother. Tell us, then, Roger, if thou be a wizard.
Roger. Mother is thinking that in Old England this is Yule-tide——
Mother. Verily, I believe thou art a wizard, Roger, for thou'st guessed aright!
Myles and Nathan. Tell us about the Yule-tide, Mother.
Prudence. Is this the Christmas day, Mother?
Roger. No, Prudence. It's the twenty-fifth that is Christmas. Isn't it, Mother?
Myles. Just a week from to-day?
Mother. Yes, children, just a week from to-day it will be Christmas in Old England.
Patience. But why did Mistress Wells make thee think of Christmas?
