enthroned



on one side of the

school was turned loose an hour
before
the usual time bursting forth with
the daughter and only child of
a
fine autumnal afternoon one in pensive

mood sat enthroned on
the shelves inkstands were overturned benches
thrown down and
the goblin
horse all hollow but just as
they sat
by their parents
and
he could even hear the barking
of the mansion and the addition

of a

sloop riding quietly at anchor under
the land
