“How far off, sir?” said Rollo.
“About twice as far, I should think, as the little row of stars.”
“Yes, sir,” said Rollo; “I see one of them. Yes, I see them both. One is on one side, and the other is on the other side.”
“Yes: then I have no doubt it is Orion that you see. One of the stars that you last found is in his foot, and the other is in his shoulder.”
“I wish I could see his shape,” said Rollo, “all drawn out in the sky.”
“It would be very convenient, I have no doubt,” replied his father. “Pretty near the lowest of the three stars in the row, there is a faint cluster of stars, towards the south.”
“Yes, sir,” said Rollo; “I see them.”
“They are in Orion’s sword,” said his father.
“I see them,” said Rollo.
