The wall belonged to Dr. Templeton. He liked privacy, and so he had this high stone wall built all around his garden and grounds.
But Dr. Templeton’s gardener was very lazy and careless, and when some stones fell out of the wall, he simply rolled them over the bank. That was easier, he thought, than mending the wall; and, besides, the wall was so very thick that a few stones more or less did not matter in the least.
The Elves thought it was very fortunate for them that the gardener was so lazy and careless, and promised themselves a gay good time with a season in the Giant World.
The members of this company of Elves were:
Captain Featherweight, the head of the company.
Rainbow, master of ceremonies.
Rhymo, the poet-elf.
Tono, the music-elf.
Lightning, the messenger-elf.
Iris-Wing, the flower-elf.
