The invisible fairies of the household at once clustered about them, whispering that Jasper van Gend had a heart as young and fresh as their own, and if he loved anything in this world more than industry, it was sunshine and frolic.
When Mynheer van Gend had related in two languages this story of Antwerp, he was tempted to tell other legends some in English, some in Dutch; and so the moments, borne upon the swift shoulders of gnomes and giants, glided rapidly away toward bedtime.

"I shall witness your triumph, Peter," she said, "for you are the fastest skater I ever knew." Peter blushed and gave a slight cough as Carl answered for him. "Ah, mevrouw, he is swift, but all the Broek boys are fine skaters even the rag pickers," and he thought bitterly of poor Hans.
