“Thanks for asking us,” said Polly, her hand on the door. “Good night. Good night, Laurie. We’ve had a lovely time.”
“Same here,” said Laurie as he tugged at Ned’s sleeve.
Ned joined him at the edge of the sidewalk, and they took their caps off and bowed in the manner of Mr. Goupil.
“Beneath yon moon’s effulgent light—”
“We, Nid and Nod, wish you Good Night!”
Transcriber’s Notes:
Except for the frontispiece, illustrations have been moved to follow the text that they illustrate, so the page number of the illustration may not match the page number in the List of Illustrations.
Printer’s, punctuation and spelling inaccuracies were silently corrected.
