Pelle thought they would; he gazed up at the little speck of sky in a weather-wise manner. Hanne laughed. "Are you a weather-prophet, Pelle? But you haven't any corns!"
The sky, which had been brilliantly blue all day, was beginning to be overcast, causing the energetic helpers at the Vicarage Bazaar to throw anxious glances towards the gathering clouds, and Herrick, who was a fair weather-prophet, foresaw a storm before sunset.
