 would probably be something tall and dreadful, 

 like the sunflower."

" No chaffing, Ned Oh, I have had a charming

 how the little trout we saw were darting about in 

 those clear pools my mind dwells on the morrow, 

 for then we fish again. The twilight dews are 

 falling, so let us go in."
