Part 30 (1/1)
”I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth I know not where, For who has sight so swift and strong That it can follow the flight of a song?
”Long, long afterwards, in an oak I found the arrow still unbroke
And the song froain, in the heart of a friend”
”I love that,” Grizzel whispered ”Papa says you often do find the song long, long afterwards I think it's soh I never could understand why they chose _bread_ I shouldn't think there would bebetter”
Hugh had stepped nearer to the , and was observing the interior of the room with curious eyes ”Who's the old buffer hite hair?” he asked
Mollie began to laugh, but suddenly stopped She looked frohs! ”He is a Time-traveller,” she answered softly, ”but he has travelled the other way, forwards, you know He has invented a lot of things about flying”
”Has he!” exclaiazed more intently at the white-haired man ”I wish I was him,” he said wistfully!
”Cooo-eee!”
