Did I leave that damper open?" she cried, hurrying into the living-room. And Mr. Smith, hurrying after, evidently forgot to finish his sentence. Miss Maggie did not attend any more of the merrymakings of that holiday week. But Mr. Smith did.
From them we know many things concerning the appearance of the interior, the cave's inhabitants, and their merrymakings. I cannot resist the temptation to retell one of these old tales. Adelbert, Knight of Thuringia, was one of those who experienced the delights of the Cave of Venus, yet, unlike Tannhauser in the original legend, was saved at the last.
Then a maypole." "How far our people would take up that sort of thing " began the vicar. "I'm all for getting that good old English spirit back again," said my uncle. "Merrymakings. Lads and lasses dancing on the village green. Harvest home. Fairings. Yule Log all the rest of it." "How would old Sally Glue do for a May Queen?" asked one of the sons in the slight pause that followed.
