The pretty table ornaments were out of sight; the glass over the clock was dim, the hands had stopped; some of Annaple's foes, the blacks, had effected a lodgment on the Parian figures; the chintzes showed wear and wash, almost grime; the carpet's pattern was worn; a basket full of socks was on the sofa; and on the table a dress, once belonging to Annaple's trousseau, was laid out, converted into its component parts.
I know it's awful and no girl would who respected herself, and all that; but the poor dear carpet's more important than my silly stockings. Let's go out now this very minute. So out they all went, and bought wool to mend the carpet; but there is no shop in Camden Town where you can buy wishing-wool, no, nor in Kentish Town either.
"The carpet's a mistake," announced Helen. "I know that we had it in London, but this floor ought to be bare. It is far too beautiful." "You still have a mania for under-furnishing. Would you care to come into the dining-room before you start? There's no carpet there. They went in, and each minute their talk became more natural. "Oh, WHAT a place for mother's chiffonier!" cried Helen.
I wish you'd see about a carpet, and get the gov. to give us a picture or two; and we've got to get a rig-out of saucepans and kettles and a barometer and a canary, and all that. The room's 15 feet by 9, so see the carpet's the right size. Gedge says Turkey carpets are the best, so we'll have a Turkey. How's Railsford? Are you and he spoons still?
"In the passing, also, a man, in splendor of apparel, stood on the carpet's edge and shouted: "'God is great! I bear witness there is no God but God. "The same instant something fell from his hand. When the marvel was out of sight in the south, some bethought them, and went to see what it was which fell.
"Well, Fosdick, this is a little better than our old room in Mott Street," said Richard Hunter, looking complacently about him. "You're right, Dick," said his friend. "This carpet's rather nicer than the ragged one Mrs. Mooney supplied us with. The beds are neat and comfortable, and I feel better satisfied, even if we do have to pay twice as much for it."
A bargain's a bargain, and the carpet's puffik throughout. 'We don't want you to take it back, said Cyril; 'but we found something in it. 'It must have got into it up at your place, then, said the man, with indignant promptness, 'for there ain't nothing in nothing as I sell. It's all as clean as a whistle. 'I never said it wasn't CLEAN, said Cyril, 'but

Every one closed its eyes, so as to feel the topsy-turvy swirl of the carpet's movement as little as possible. When the eyes were opened again the children found themselves on the carpet, and the carpet was in its proper place on the floor of their own nursery at Camden Town. 'I say, said Cyril, 'here's a go! 'Do you think it's worn out?
The Phoenix fluttered back to the brass rail at the foot of the bed. 'I say you ARE real, said Cyril. 'How ripping! And the carpet? 'The carpet is as real as it ever was, said the Phoenix, rather contemptuously; 'but, of course, a carpet's only a carpet, whereas a Phoenix is superlatively a Phoenix. 'Yes, indeed, said Cyril, 'I see it is. Oh, what luck! Wake up, Bobs!
