the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all

her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood: and how she

would gather about her other little children, and make their eyes bright

and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland

of long ago: and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a

pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life, and the

happy summer days.
