“I wish you had gone up to the garret window,” said Rollo.
“O, this will do very well,” said Mary.
Rollo determined to see how many he could count while the stone made one oscillation to and fro. He counted sixteen.
Mary then said she was tired of experimenting, and so she should not come down again. She, however, asked Rollo to set the pendulum swinging, and that then she would draw the thread in, and he could see that it would go faster and faster, the farther she drew it up, for that would make the string grow shorter and shorter.
Rollo did so; and this was the end of the experiments on oscillations.
