There were four of them, all small; he gathered them all up in one hand. Then he rose to his feet and turned to restore them to their owner. He looked into a pair of limpid violet eyes.

It was a very timid, gentle, apologetic look.
He turned over upon one side, but it was no more comfortable than the other; so he tried his back, but the bed, stuffed as it was with the softest feathers from the geese grown at the farm, felt hard and thorny; there was a singing and humming noise made by the gnats, and the animals about the place were so uneasy that they suggested the idea of something wrong once more.
You will take me and hear all my bits of experiences, and your heart will beat when you find how I have longed to return to you. Darling, dearest, loveliest, the Lord bless you! I think of you every hour, every moment. I love you and admire you, like like anything. Oh, if I was there, I could put my arms so close about your neck, and hush you into the softest sleep you have had since I went away.

In the bottom of the box were four shirts of the softest flannel, two pairs of long black woolen stockings, and a canoeing suit of stout brown cloth knickerbockers, blouse, and a yachting cap. It was a fine outfit, and the boys good naturedly envied Nugget his luck. The date of departure was fixed for the first week in July.
