"And who is you? Here are two people in the moonlight."
"Mr. John Humphreys, Alice's brother, and that Thomas calls 'the young master,' " said Ellen, laughing.
"You are more shy of taking a leap than your little horse is," said John, smiling; "but I shall bring you up to it yet. What is the cause of the sudden enlargement of my thumb?"
He had drawn a small magnifying-glass from his pocket, and held it between his hand and Ellen.
"Why, it is not enlarged," said Ellen "it is only magnified."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Why, the glass makes it look larger."
"Do you know how, or why?"
"No."
