She turned the leaves, searching, but three times with sudden puffs the wind blew the leaves rustling back to the same verses. "I wonder if that is North Wind," said Diamond to himself. To his mother he said, "Do read that one. It sounded very nice. I am sure it is a good one." His mother thought it might amuse him although she could not find any sense in it.
"That is a girl or a woman in there," Bob declared. "Huh!" exclaimed Bobby sharply. "It might be a boy. Boys cry sometimes." "Really?" said Timothy. "But you never read of crying boys except in humorous verses. They are not supposed to cry." "Well," said Betty, suddenly hopping out of the sleigh, "we'll never find out whether it is a girl or a boy if we wait for Mr. Jaroth, it seems."

"Yes; but I wish to remain." "What! in this attic?" "Even so." "A hermit?" "Who said I was a hermit? I am surrounded with friends! Ned Carter comes and smokes with me until my room is one impervious fog, all the while protesting undying friendship, and asking me to write love verses for him.
