We quite liked her then. Her face was so nice. And she kissed us when she went away. Persis liked it, and I didn't mind.
Our Bruno has been with us ever since, and we love him more and more. He is quite happy, even in London, for he has a nice home in the stables, and we take him a walk every day, and he comes very often into the house. And in the country, where we now go for much longer every year, he is always with us.
The girl writes to us sometimes, and we answer, and tell her about Bruno. She is coming to see him next year, when they come back to England. She calls him "Rollo," but we like "Bruno" best, and he doesn't mind, the dear old fellow.
THE BLUE DWARFS:
AN ADVENTURE IN THÜRINGEN
"And then on the top of the Caldon Low
There was no one left but me."
Mary Howitt.
"I liked the blue dwarfs the best—far, far the best of anything," said Olive.
