Malleville and Phonny arrived at Mary Erskine's about an hour after Beechnut left them. They met with no special adventures by the way, except that when they reached the great pine-tree, Phonny proposed to climb up, for the purpose of examining a small bunch which he saw upon one of the branches, which he thought was a bird's nest.

"Did he?" said Beechnut; his countenance brightening up at the same time, as if Phonny had told him some good news. "Yes," said Phonny, "Thomas came along near where I was fishing, and I laid down my fishing-line, and went up to the horse, and was standing by his head, and he trod on my foot dreadfully." "Did he?" said Beechnut, "I am very glad of that." "Glad of that!" repeated Phonny.

He put his money in a bag, his bag in his chest, and his chest in the hold, and it came as safe as the captain's sextant." "And the iceberg and the rainbow?" said Madeline. "Embellishment, all embellishment," said Beechnut. "Dear me!" said Phonny, "I thought it was all true." "Did you?" said Beechnut.

As the wagon approached the place where Jemmy was sitting, they found that he was bending down over his foot, and moaning with, pain. Beechnut asked him what was the matter. He said that he had sprained his foot dreadfully. Beechnut stopped the horse, and giving the reins to Phonny, he got out to see. Phonny immediately gave them to Malleville, and followed. "Are you much hurt?" asked Beechnut.

"I am sorry that you were so deceived, and I am sure it was not my fault, for I gave you your choice of a true story or an invention, and you chose the invention." "Yes," said Phonny, "so we did."

It was indeed a cold morning, or at least a very cool one. This was somewhat remarkable, as it was in the month of June. But the country about Franconia was cold in winter, and cool in summer. Phonny and Malleville rose and dressed themselves, and then went down stairs. They hoped to find a fire in the sitting-room, but there was none. "How sorry I am," said Phonny. "But hark, I hear a roaring."

"No," said Phonny, despondingly. "I am glad of that," said Beechnut. "Glad!" said Phonny, looking up surprised, and somewhat displeased. "What are you glad for?" "For the sake of the fishes," said Beechnut. "Hoh!" said Phonny. "And the other day, when I did catch some, you said you were glad of that." "Yes," said Beechnut, "then I was glad for your sake.

Presently the children turned a sort of a corner which was formed by a group of trees, and then they came in sight of the hay-making party. "Oh, they have got the horse and cart," said Phonny. So saying he set off as fast he could run, toward the hay-makers, Malleville following him. The horse and cart were standing in the middle of the field among the numerous winrows of hay.

"All the money that my father had saved," Beechnut continued, "he got changed into gold at an office in the Bouleyard; but then he was very much perplexed to decide how it was best to carry it." "Why did he not pack it up in his chest?" asked Phonny.

"Well," said Phonny, "I think you were an extraordinary boy." "Yes, but my father thought," rejoined Beechnut, "that I was something very extraordinary indeed. He thought I was a genius." "So do I," said Phonny.
