“What shall we do to amuse ourselves, Boy?”
Boy smiled faintly.
“I don’t know!” he said.
“Do you like pictures as much as you used to do?”
Boy hesitated.
“Some!” he said dubiously. “Not all!”
“Did you bring your magic lantern with you?”
Boy opened his eyes wide.
“Oh no! That’s all gone to pieces long ago!”
Miss Letty made no comment on the magic lantern’s destruction.
