Moses lay sleeping contentedly on the rug beside the princess' little
bed. He too had had a happy day. I wonder if he had any way to
express his thankfulness to his Creator, the same Father in heaven to
which Cissy prayed, for the love and companionship of his little
playfellows, and for the bright, happy day he had spent? I believe he
had. What do you think about it?
THE WINTER'S TALE.
AS TOLD BY MARY SEYMOUR.
Leontes of Sicily, and Hermione, his lovely queen, lived together in
the greatest harmony--a harmony and happiness so perfect that the king
said he had no wish left to gratify excepting the desire to see his old
companion Polixenes, and present him to the friendship of his wife.
Polixenes was king of Bohemia; and it was not until he had received
many invitations that he came to visit his friend Leontes of Sicily.
At first this was the cause of great joy. It seemed that Leontes never
tired of talking over the scenes of bygone days with his early friend,
while Hermione listened well pleased.
