"And the evening and the morning were the second day."
THE THIRD DAY
THE BOY INVADES THE KITCHEN
The Boy sat on a corner of the kitchen table, swinging a loose leg, and watching Martha make hot buttered-toast.
He had arrived early, and, finding no one in the garden, had entered the house by the garden-door, to pursue investigations upstairs.
On the mat in the hall he saw a pair of goloshes; in the umbrella-stand, a very large, badly-rolled umbrella; hanging on a peg near by, a professor's cap and gown.
The Boy stood stock still in the middle of the little hall, and looked at the goloshes.
