"And we could have the arrival of the prince, and the awakening, and their departure:
"And o'er the hills and far away,
Beyond their utmost purple rim,
Beyond the night, across the day,
Through all the world she followed him,"
chanted Anne like one inspired.

"I never dreamed that you knew so much poetry," cried Launcelot, seeing her in a new and more respectful light.
"Oh, it just sings itself," said Anne. "When you read it a few times you can't help reciting it."
"But I am not going to be the only one," said Judy. "What part will you take, Anne?"
"I don't know."
"Who's your favorite heroine in Tennyson, Anne?" asked Launcelot.
"Elaine."
