"Haven't I, North Wind? Oh! I'm so sorry! I thought I had.
What did I see then?" "Only a picture of it. The real country at my real back is ever so much more beautiful than that. You shall see it one day-- perhaps before very long." "Do they sing songs there?" "Don't you remember the dream you had about the little boys that dug for the stars?" "Yes, that I do. I thought you must have had something to do with that dream, it was so beautiful." "Yes; I gave you that dream." "Oh! thank you. Did you give Nanny her dream too--about the moon and the bees?" "Yes. I was the lady that sat at the window of the moon." "Oh, thank you. I was almost sure you had something to do with that too. And did you tell Mr. Raymond the story about the Princess Daylight?" "I believe I had something to do with it. At all events he thought about it one night when he couldn't sleep. But I want to ask you whether you remember the song the boy-angels sang in that dream of yours." |
