Yet there be those who watch a serpent crawl And, blackening, sleep within a blossom's heart, Who will not slay, but call their gazing "Peace." Even thus within the bosom of our land Creeps, serpent-like, Sedition, and hath gnawed In silence, while a timid crowd stood still. O suffering land!

Blossom was the third baseman, and he was confused by his awkwardness, expecting to get a call down. "Steady, Blos, old boy!" said Frank, gently. "You are all right. The best of us do those things occasionally. It is nothing at all." These words relieved Blossom's feelings and made him vow that he would not let another ball play chase around his feet.
