In it the author wrote .with aympa- aetic, understanding. and 'unexcelled charm 'regarding children and 'their attitude towards their elders. "Theile elders, ,our betters by a .trick of. °chance, • commanded no respect, but only • a 'certain . blend of envy of their good luck -and pity -for their inability to make use of it. Indeed, it was one of the most hopeless fea- tures in their character• that, having absolute license to indulge in the pleasures of life, they .could get no good of it. They might. dabble in the' pond all day„ hunt the chickens, climb trees inthe most uncompromising Sunday clothes; they were free •to issue forth and buy gunphwder• in the full eye of the sun -free to fire cannons and explode mines of the lawn; yet they never ,did any one of these things.
