There were many candidates, but the rest of them, mere grownup men and women, gave thanks aloud that it was their privilege to follow where I led. I was the acknowledged hero of the hour.

So here was I without a tutor, yet with my own private drozhki, my name printed on the list of students, a sword and belt of my own, and a chance of an occasional salute from officials! In short, I was grownup and, I suppose, happy.

Quite the prettiest sight in the Gardens is when the babies stray from the tree where the nurse is sitting and are seen feeding the birds, not a grownup near them. It is first a bit to me and then a bit to you, and all the time such a jabbering and laughing from both sides of the railing.

Her views of usefulness and duty were, in the eyes of some of her acquaintance, old-fashioned and behind the age. Standing on one side, as it were, out of the whirl of good excitement, she could mark the mistakes and shortcomings in the bringing up of the professedly Christian families which came under her observation, and of the grownup workers of her own sex.

August, the Molting Moon, went by; the young ones were now three parts grown. They knew just enough to think themselves wonderfully wise. When they were small it was necessary to sleep on the ground so their mother could shelter them, but now they were too big to need that, and the mother began to introduce grownup ways of life. It was time to roost in the trees.

Bartlett presented that box of candy, Andy should have the first pick. "He can have his choice of any piece in the box," thought Jerry benevolently.

"How do you do it?" Kathleen whispered admiringly as they said good night. "Oh, it's quite easy when you've once got a grownup to see what you're after.

"'T is n't so long as 'regenerating' and more easier." "Regenerating means 'making over, you know." "There'd ought to be children's words and grownup words, that's what I think," said Sue, decisively; "but what does 'backslider' mean?" "A backslider is one who has been climbing up a hill and suddenly begins to slip back." "Does n't his feet take hold right, or why does he slip?"

It was just emerging out of fog. The smoke and steam rising, touched into color by the sun, softened it into a great mystery with forms and hulks coming into relief through the mists. For a moment it wasn't a city but a magnificent singing of the morning. In a dull, inert way I suppose all of us, the grownup people, glimpsed some of its beauty.

Wherever childhood found us we played, and out of our environment and often in spite of it, lived in a delightful world of our own into which no grownup ever really entered. Now, you and I, grownup, walk along the sidewalks of San Francisco and all we see under our calloused old feet is a sidewalk. But to children even a sidewalk blossoms with possibilities.
