Only think of Ada and I at a ball with the Miss Noahs, four or five thousand years ago.
Noah and the little Noahs, a field with cows, horses, dogs, a farm with chickens and even two pigs... He stood, he stared, he drew a deep breath. "It comes all the way from Germany," said Aunt Amy, who always made things uninteresting if she possibly could. There was much delighted talk. Jeremy said nothing. But Uncle Samuel understood. "Glad you like it," he said, and left the room.
He could not see, but he knew every piece by heart, and he laid it all out, the church and the flower garden, and the Noah's house and the village street, the animals and the Noahs. What centuries ago that birthday was, what worlds away! How excited he had been, and now !

It is the wish of Miss Noah to present Mr. Webster to various other Miss Noahs, all of whom are desirous of making his acquaintance." She was absurdly nervous at luncheon that day, and kept telling herself with severity not to act like a high-school girl.
Fantastic furniture, old china, and such-like things, will one day be superseded in drawing-rooms, just as the old, barbarously-coloured 'Noahs' and 'Abrahams' of the cottage may now easily be by pictures in better perspective and purer taste.
