mamma said Lucy papa has gone out to
town earlyer than usual. 1 Has he any b
buiness more to do.”

Yes c Lucy he has more to do because
he has got to go to town and then into
the city and then to the docks and you
know that that takes up more time than
plain going to town. 2

Yes mamma. But I wonder what my white
rabbitt is doing all this while.

I should think it is wondering what is
become of you said her mother.” I

Iʼll go and see it said Lucy.

you cannot in the rain said her d
mother.

oh is it raining cried Lucy I am very
sorry for I have so many things to do.

but howeve I have plenty of
things. to do in the house as well
said Lucy!” e

yes you have answered her mother.

But may I draw that head which
I was drawing last night said f
Lucy?.” g

yes but had not you better go on
with that landscape which h
you were doing last week sdo
one thing at once.

Yes mamma said Lucy but i
how comes this pencils are
lost.” j

That is very odd indeed for
I know that from your your [sic] k
youth you never lost any thing

said her mother.

Yes said Lucy. l but they are
certainly gone for where could
it

they

have gone but in the sideboard

and they are not there?” m

but I have found them cried n
her mother

have you cried Lucy where were they

in the oddest thing said her mother

But o where said Lucy.

in my workbox!” p

well dont you think that this is
pretty well done said Lucy? q

Yes.”

Now I will run out and refresh r
myself a little now it has done raining
said Lucy.”

Yes my dear 3 said her mother s
and I will go and see my white
rabbits said Lucy.

ell I think I have beenout t
engough said Lucy! u ”– v

Yes my dear said her mother

Now mamma here is dinner.

mamma my white rabbit has got w
young ones said Lucy and they are such
pretty ones one black and white and
another red and white and another
quite white in—short of all colours! x ”– y

and how many in number said her
mother.

ten said Lucy

And eleven in all sai her mother z

Yes said Lucy eleven.” 4

Well you are getting a fine stock aa
plainly said her mother.

Yes mamma I am.”

But we ought to break off this bb
discourse 5 about your rabbits cc
and get that of your silkworms dd
said her moth

o

e

r. How are they
getting on.”

very well said Lucy one of them
has spun a great deal of silk.”

have any of them spun all they
are going to spin sad her mother

Yes said Lucy three of them!”

thats a great deal said her mother
let us go and wind it all on ee
winders.”

Yes said Lucy so we will.” 6

how long do you think it will
take to wind one ball said her ff
mother.”

two hours said Lucy.

three said her mother and how
many will three threes make
said her mother

nine said Lucy.

so nine whole hours must gg
be spent upon these hours said hh
her mother.

Yes said Lucy.

Well these are very large ii
balls said her mother!

Yes said Lucy!” jj

mamma when we were at the

sea‐side we were told that the thread
of the silk worms was two or three
miles in length.”

Yes said her mother and is not that
a good length?!” kk

Yes said Lucy.”

Well I think we have had thought
enough for the present said her
mother.”

I have just two or three questions
to ask you more said

Well said Lucy how thin is the ll
thinnest of the threads which
spin sa silkworms spin.

I do not my dear know

ery well said Lucy

What is your next question my

dear what is the size of the
thickest threade as thin as a mm

spid

spiders|chap II

Papa by this time had come nn
home and Lucy then marched up
to him and said papa would you
be so good as to hear me my
lessons.”

I will if I have time my dear
but I fear I shall not have time.”

Very well said Lucy. ot in the oo
morngs. But in the evenings you
will. nd would you be so good as
to hear me my lesson now.

Yes I will Lucy answered her
father.” 7

Lucy said her lesson very well
and after that her mother said.” 8
I was wondering what made Lucy
not come to say her lesson to me and
now I find out the cause.”

Yes said her father.

Well Lucy you have said your
lesson very well and in reward
for so doing after church you
shall take a very pleasant walk
with me said her mother.

and now Lucy has gone to bed
and we shall have time to pp
attend to harry whose history
we have hitherto forgot.”

in the last volumes of harry
and Lucy my young readers qq
may recollect that harrys father
said he would take him into
town to see the apparatus for
making ice and harry had been
with his father to see this app‐
arratus.”

the apparatus was a very large
airpump and harry looking
in saw large pieces of ice
in it. He said he could not
explain it to Lucy because
he did not see that part
of the apparatus which made
the ice.” 9

Lucy said she did not mind Losing

that only that she wished rr
harry would go on with scienec
science. 10

harry said he woud and the
moment that I have time added he
so Ill do that Lucy.

hen will you brother

o morrow.

ave you not time to day
brother.

No Lucy.

ell I can easily wat can
I not brother.

Yes Lucy.

nd said her father now I
will show you some experi‐
ments on sound.

That will do nicely papa
said Lucy

Then come upstairs to the ss
workshop said her father.

Harry and Lucy followed
him quicy

s son as they came to
the worshop took their tt
father took a little balloon
filled it with gunpowder uu
and hung it up at a pole
in the room. hen he set
fire to it and the noise
was so much that it was
near deaing vv harry and Lucy
Afterwards he took another
and hung it up at such a

[Pencil drawing.—From left, of an object that is meant perhaps for the balloon suspended at a height of half a mile, connected to a rod, as described in the fatherʼs experiment on the facing page, or for the sun sending down its beams; a tree; and a square, two‐story, brick or stone house.]
height that it was hardly
perceptible then he set fire
to it by setting fire to a rod
that communicated with it and
the noise could not be heard.”

Now said her father ow xx
much o you think was the
distance between the heigh yy
|of these two alloons.
they answered half a mile
Right said her father.

And did you not observe that
you did not hear the noise zz
the very moment that I aaa
set fire to the balloon bbb
but in a few moments af‐
terwards. And you oserved

that you did not hear
the noise so quickly in
the higher one as in
the smer one.

Yes answered Lucy. what
was the cause of that

The cause was that sound
travels slowly and the
distance between the lower
balloon and the higher one
being great the sound ccc
had to travel over that ddd
height of the larger pole
and that sound was longer
in coming down the higher pole
than the lower one eee
because of their height

I understand you perfectly
said Lucy. 11

Now I will show you one fff
other experiment said her
father.

Then he took a pipe of ggg
gunpowder and one of water
commuated them together
and bid harry apply his ear
to the end of the one of
water and having set
fire to the gunpowder the
noise was as loud as a hhh
cannon. This then proved that
water is a good conductor 12

Next day harry took Lucy
and took her into his gar
den

den and then showed her
a little canal he had made iii
and a little boat with some
blocks fastened together by
wedges then he placed a
great many shores or bits
s jjj of wood under the blocks
and giving to or thee kkk
blows on the wedges out they
flew the blocks sunk and
the boat hung on the shores

Lucy now recollected a
promise harry had made
her to show her how
ships were floated into lll
docks to be repaired. 13

h

H

arry told her she was
right.

But how did you manage
to make these shores so
that they would hold mmm
the vessel so firmly and nnn
upright.”

That would take us up
too long a time stand‐
ing here said harry.

Well then come into the
house if you will.

No said harry. We can ooo
walk about the garden
and then I can tell you.

Yes answered Lucy.

They are just plainly ppp
sticks of wood but I man

‐aged to set them so as
to cross each other so that
the ship went in betw qqq
the shores 14 and so was
held up by them.

Lucy now reminded harry
of his promise about sci
ence. But he said he must
learn his latin lessons rrr
first so they parted.”

Lucy ran about the gar
den a little while, sss Then ttt
recollec‐ting her brother
she ran in to him to
ask him if he was uuu
ready he was ready and
then Lucy went to the work‐

shop with harry.” vvv

Harry www now took a cane
and bent it and then
letting go it flew with
such force that it broke
the window. 15

Ha ha says this is not
such a very good thing is it
Lucy. No it is not id xxx
Lucy. But we will not let
or spirits go b this let us
run and tell mamma.” 16

Yes said Lucy

They both an to her.

mamma we have b

o

r

k broke yyy
the window. 17

She took out two balls
fom her worktable. You
shall have these in reward

n reward interrupted zzz
both harry and Lucy at aaaa
once n reward for breaking
the window what can you
mean mother.” bbbb

No not in reward for
breaking the window but

not

in reward for break‐
ing the window but cccc
in reward for coming
and telling me of it.”

Ho ho so that is the
reason mamma.”

Yes that is it my dears. 18

Harry and Lucy then dddd
went out in search of eeee
the cane but they could
not find it do what ffff
they would. At last Lucy
suggested it might have gggg
stuck in a tree and as they
went home they found it
up in a large oak tree. The
next ting to settle was
how to get it down they hhhh
first thought of shaking it
but then they could not shake
it because it was too firm
Next they thought of climb‐
ing but the the tree was
too rugged for that Next

they thought of felling
it but they remembered
that the tree was not iiii
theirs and they must not
fell it so they were in a
great perplexity.

At last they saw a man
passing by and they jjjj
asked him whether it
might be felled.

He said that it was kkkk
his and they might cut
it down.

He went and got a man
who would cut it for llll
them. And they got the
cane and went merril

 and her silkworms

ly home.

Harry did not dare
to do that again but as
soon as they came home
he took a tube bent it
filled it with water
place it upright in a
pond and disturbing
the water the water in
the pipe flew up in
the ar and down as
if it was a fountain

Lucy asked harry to
leave the pipe in the nnnn
pond and he did.

It just now hap‐
penned that Lucys oooo

mother wanted her Lucy
did not now or what
only her mother wanted
her

Harry launched his
little boat but the water
flowed into it. The p
pumps were sounded but
all in vain the ssel sunk
it went quite down the pppp
canal was too deep to get
it up again harry was
in a puzzle.

At last lucy came tey
entangled a rope in all
sorts of knots and bows

and let it down into
the water it entangled qqqq
the ssel and brought
it up again.

Harry set to work to
stop the leak and in rrrr
a day did it. Next he ssss
put it into the water
and it swam.

Now harry want‐
ed a kite and at last
his mother gave him
one. One day when
he was flying it tttt
Lucy came to him
and told him that uuuu
she had lost his vvvv

boat, wwww and that it had xxxx
had some water in it.

This let harry know yyyy
that he had not com‐
pletely stopped zzzz the leak but
in half a day he stopped
it but they had a good
search for it first. Lucy
thought that it might
have been thrown into
a certain closet which
she knew and there aaaaa
it was harry poured
out the water and was
done with it!” bbbbb

Now harry had a long
while, been thinking 19

this but at last she
did. She said. ccccc
a mans finger is for a child
too large

right said harry.”
a leae is a Leaf but it ddddd
grows on a root.”

Lucy found out this eeeee
too again she said. fffff
a tree grows on a root ggggg
and the leaf on a tree.

Harry said she was
right.
a little book is made
of paste.” 20

The answer was.
The side of a book is hhhhh

made of paste.”

Alls right we have done
with our riddles.

What only three.”

threes enough.

We will have some more
riddels some other time.

So we will.”

The first thing Harry
and Lucy did when the iiiii
morning came was to
make some grand scheme
It was settled thus jjjjj
Lucy was appointed kkkkk
to go into a bush by
which her mother always lllll
passed, while harry mmmmm

made a cae. This nnnnn
cave had holes in the
top and had a chair in ooooo
it

N Lucy waited till
her mother passed the ppppp
bush and then suddenly
darting out seized her
and carried her away
to harrys cave where qqqqq
she sat quietly and rrrrr
read.

But besides reading sssss
her mother had other ttttt
amusements prepared
for her. Harry had taken

one of Lucys rabbits a
parrot canary finch bull
finch sparrow and rob
in redbreast and had uuuuu
put them into a vvvvv
little hole in the bottom
of the ca and then wwwww
opening it all of them
marched out the rabbit
munching parrot talk
ing canary singing xxxxx
bully cheaping robin yyyyy
hopping and went zzzzz
dancing h aand flying
and eating and hop‐
ping and jumping a*6
all over the green.

Lucys mother laughed c*6
heartil at this ad d*6
so did Lucy for harry e*6
had kept it a secret even
from her.

Now they went in and f*6
harry was dressing him
self when he was inter‐
rupted by Lucy running
jumping and cutting ca‐
pers.

Why whats the mat‐
ter my dear.

Harry do you know
we are going to the seaside again.

s this true cried g*6

4 5 Lucys drawing room

[Pencil drawing.—An interior room, containing, from left, a door; a picture hanging on the wall or from a picture rail, showing two trees on a hilly terrain; a round table, at which a person (male?) is seated in a chair, with an arm extended toward a book(?); an angle between walls; a picture hanging on the wall, showing a ship at sea.] h*6
harry. 21

it is true we are to set
off this after i*6 dress your
self as fast as you can
be ready.

Lucy prounounced [sic] the j*6
words as fast as she
could that was the why
that she forgot the part
of speech — and —. 22 Harry
got h ready as fast k*6
as he could and in
a few minutes was
seated opposite to l*6
his father witheLucy [sic]
away they went. 23

Present‐ly m*6 they saw

such a beautiful n*6
chain of mountains
that they thought they
had been made by
mens hands. 24

After a little w
while they came to o*6
a wood a league p*6
every way in size
but so beautiful
they quite wondered q*6
Next they came to
a river and they r*6
were to ride along
the side of it. It was
beautiful the wat
er curling so nice

and dashing against
rocks and now s*6
they got to the inn.

he inn was close by
the bank of the river
to harry and Lucys joy
but there was more
joy for them they were
to go to the sea now
all in one stage only
stopp to change horses 25
after having had a
little wie they set
out again on their t*6
journey first of all u*6
they came to a house v*6

where they saw a very
large white cat even w*6
they could not see one
spot of black upon it.

just like the froth
of the sea said Lucy

Nonsense Mrs hic x*6
haee hoc 26 said harry.

Ha ha thats an odd
allusion said Lucy

a T as crooked as an o. 27

Ha ha ha ha you will
come to nonsense at
last harry.

No said harry youll
get to nonsense.

Tots nonsense. 29 What a y*6
gret many words ab‐
out one thing said Lucy.

o mch the better said
harry.

So much the worse said Lucy 30

Look look look father cried
harry do you see that. 31

No I do not what is it.

The fact was that harry had
seen a waggon strike a z*6
spark from the road and a*7
that set fire to a tree b*7
and harry had seen it c*7
blazing.

Thats a bad job indeed d*7
said his father dont you

observe it is close to
a little cottage and it e*7
may set fire to it.

No papa said harry
no because though I see
the cottage I also ob
serve it is sheltered
by a ditch which is wet
and if the flames come
to it they will quickly
be quenched

But remember harry
that little water will f*7
not quench much fire

But theres a great g*7
deal of water in the
ditch.

Oh then I am not so
much concerned.

No papa look the flames
are fast quenching and
now they are out. 32

Yes said his father
h*7

Look look what is i*7
that gently mong up
and down sometimes a j*7
appearing

give me my telescope
harry and Iʼll k*7 tell l*7
you.

its the sea.

he sea

Yes the sea

a shout of joy followed 33

What is that town

hastings 34

Wheres hastings

by the sea side

Are we going to hasti
ings.

Yes.

By this time they had
got to the entrance of
hastings 35 and went to m*7
a hotel 36 where they had
a full view of the sea
and harry sa a n*7
two master which
he showed to‸ o*7

Next day their father p*7
took tookthem out in
a pleasure boat 37 which
harry and Lucy liked very
uch harry now got a little
dog and he used to take q*7
great pleasure in giving r*7
him a swim by throw a stick into the water and
making him swim after
it. one day as harry was
sailing his boat with without
a string a surge lifting it
high aloft threw it upon
the beach and mmediately s*7
fell upon it when it again
was afloat as it turned
its sides to the sun it t*7
looked as if it were u*7

made of diamonds. harrys v*7
littl dog then came prancing in
and seeing the boat umped into w*7
the water caught it in his mouth and
before harry cold prent him
gnawed it to peices Harry find‐
ing that amusement stopped am
used himself for some time x*7
with his dog forand then went in y*7
Papa and he then went out for z*7
a walk and after having climbed
a high hill they came on a sort
of  odplain composed of a great a*8
many fields only separated by
hedges and where they had a
full vew of the sea 38 ad harry
got a large nosegay of wildflow
er Harry then went home
with his father and after b*8
dinner went out again upon
the beach and coming in c*8
took tea and went to bed.

Next morning they were d*8
awakened by their fathers e*8
calling come harryere harry he
ran to his father and they saw
a great light about a mile f*8
from the shore but they g*8
soon saw what it was for
a great many beams rafters
and bits of wood on fire h*8
blew up in the air with a
tremendous explosion and
i an instant all the fire

was out.

Harrys father now said that
it was a ship on fire and on
looking through his telescope
observed a board floating on to
the shore that bore evident i*8
marks of being thoroughly burnt
and Harry agreed in his opinion
Now Harry went to Lucy to
remind her of riddles and he
began.

 three parts of a cross
 and a circle complete
 two semicircles
 perpendicular meet
 an angle standing on two feet
 two semicircles and a circle complete

I know that riddle itʼs tobacco
said Lucy.

Yes it is said Harry but how
does it make tobacco.

three parts of a cross make T
and a circle complete O j*8
two semicircles perpendicular
meet B an angle standing on two
feet A two semicircles and
a circle complete double C
and O Yes said Harry but
I will give you another

 two letter s each
 and each a half
 of wat the beach
 was involved in

fire said Lucy

Yes it is fire and we have k*8
done

Harry went out upon the l*8
beach with his dog and m*8
brougthht in to luLucy such
a store of shells that she n*8
wondered how he could o*8
pick up so many without
his back aching But Harry
told her that he had quite
changed since that time
and was counting all the
shells or when he was
interroupted by dinner after
Harry p*8 learned all his les

sons 40 drew a little took tea q*8
and went to bed.

Next morning Harry went r*8
out upon the beach for the 4^th
time and this time he brought s*8
spars and pieces of ore to Lucy t*8
instead of shells. But here he u*8
was stopped by going out for v*8
a walk they climbed a high hill w*8
and went on sometimes by the x*8
sides of rivulets at other half y*8
rubbing against heg edgessbut z*8
oftenest so attracted by the a*9
bubbling of a pure clear b*9
stream that they were like c*9
to jump into it they went
through dark avenues and
between hedges forming a d*9
sort of foot‐path sometimes
a full view of the sea some‐
times none at all till unexpected
ly they arrived at home.

Harry sat down to draw and e*9
had just done part of the trunk of f*9
a tree when a carriage drove g*9
to the door.

Who is said Harry look‐
ing out.

It was only an arrival.

Harry sat down again h*9
and finished his tree but i*9
they were soon turned out of
their apartment and put in‐
to another for they were j*9

 harrys dock

[Pencil drawing.—Drawing of a stone and/or brick arched bridge‐like structure, with stairs leading down to the water. Atop the bridge stands a faint figure next to a clock(?).]
told that the person who
had just come in wanted
their apartments.

After dinner it being the
longest day tea came in
seemingly at three o‐clock
when it was seven harry
going to bed at nine had
only two hours to play
which he spent in draw‐
ing and went to bed. 41 k*9

Next morning after break
fast Harry determined l*9
to go on with science and
told Lucy he must be‐
gin with pneumatics 42 he m*9
said that this science n*9

treated of the pressure and
springiness of the air. 43

Remembering that Lucy o*9
wanted to see the guinea and
feather fall with equal velocities p*9
he took a guinea and a feather q*9
set them on a brass flap and r*9
put the flap under the receiver s*9
of his air pump shut it up in t*9
a little notch and exhausting u*9
the air turned a little wire v*9
and the flap slipped down w*9
and the guinea and feather x*9
fell with equal velocities y*9
and no noise. 44 9

Lucy was surprised at this z*9
but harry said that it was a*10
only because the air was taken b*10
away

Harry now said he would des
cribe the airgun to Lucy.

What is an airgun said Lucy c*10

It is a sort of musket that acts d*10
by air instead of gunpowder.

How does it act by air instead
of gunpowder.

There is a ball of condensed e*10
air which is srewed to the f*10
barrel of the gun and there is g*10
a valve in the ball openeing in‐
wards and when the ball is h*10
screwed on and the bullet in i*10
the trigger is pulled back j*10
which forces down ahhook upon

a pin connected with the alve
and liberates a portion of the
condensed air this rushing k*10
through a hole in the lock into
the barrel will impel the bull
et to a great distance. 45

What is the eolian harp said
Lucy.

It is a sort of harp that acts
by air instead of the hands
for the air sweepng along
the strings of the harp makes
them vibrate and produces the
sound. 46

What are the principal con l*10
ductors of comon sound said m*10
ucy.

They are flannel water air
which last is absolutely neces‐
sary to sound.

Will you prove to me said Lucy

Yes I will said Harry.

Harry then took a bell and o*10
put in theit in the receiver exhausting
the air and bidding Lucy look
at the clapper of the bell he p*10
shook the air pump.

I see plainly the clapper knocks
the side of the bell but I hear
no noise said Lucy.

That is because there is
no air inside listen again.

I hear the bell very plainly
now said Lucy.

That is because I admitted the q*10
air said harry

But why did you shake the air pump
could not you shake the reciever
said Lucy

No I could not for the air r*10
was pressing it firmly down
to the bottom of the airpump 47
But said harry looking at s*10
his watch I must leave t*10
you now or I shall not have
time for my lessons

Harry now determined to have
another grand scheme so he took
a handfull of earth moistened–

–it with water and stuck it
onto the green. He then took
another handfull treated it in
the same manner till he had
formed a large ball of the
shape of an orange he then
divided it into divisions and
wrote upon some of the
africa on others america ice
land spitzbergen novazembla 48
and all the countries he u*10
could remberember and when
his mamma and papa saw
this whenever they were at
a loss for the situation of
any country they went to
harrys globe for satisfaction 49

This scheme being finished
harry went on with science v*10
Harry said he would show
Lucy a very entertaining exper
iment so he took a strong cop
per vessel filled it half full of
water and took a syringe and
screwed and soit to a pipe with this
he forced a considerable quan
tity of air into the vessel so
that the was very much con
densed he then turned a w*10
stop‐cock while he took off x*10
the syringe and no water y*10
could escape but putting
a jet instead of a syringe
and turning the stop‐cock z*10

the air in the vessel forced a*11
the water through the jet
to a great height. 50

Harry then took a little b*11
svquare bottle he cemented
to it a screw‐valve by which
he fixed it on the plate of the
air pump and exhausted the
air and the pressure of the at
mosphere pon the glass broke
it into a thousand pieces.

Lucy asked why he had c*11
chosen a square bottle instead
of a round one.

Because one of that shape
would have sustained the
pressure like an arch. 51

Harry then took a jar d*11
of water and put in some e*11
pieces of iron zinc and stone
-&c then he exhausted f*11
the air and the elastic g*11
spring of air contained in h*11
the stone forced the water i*11
out of it in a multitude of j*11
globules forming a very pleasing k*11
spectacle 52

After that Harry took a peceiece l*11
of cork and tied a piece of lead m*11
to it just engough to make it n*11
sink he then removed the air o*11
and then the cork brought the
lead up to the surface. 53

Then Harry took a piece


of cork and a piece of lead and
balanced them on a scale‐beam p*11
and exhausting the air the cork q*11
was heavier than the lead. 54

Harry then took a poker and r*11
tied a strip of flannel round s*11
the middle of it but leaving
both the ends untied he tied t*11
the two ends round LucyLucys
first finger of each hand u*11
and then bid Lucy put v*11
these fingers into each of
her ears and strike the w*11
poker against the fender x*11
and the sound returned was
astonishing that made by a
loud church bell was not

to be compared with it. 55

After that Harry took anvery
shrivelled apple and put itunun
der the receiver and it  pperappeared y*11
as fine an apple as it was when
first taken from the tree but z*11
admitting the air it was as
shrivelled as ever. 56

Then harry took a marble
and shot it against the wain
scot and it returned to his a*12
hand he told Lucy that the
line it described in coming
from the wainscot was called b*12
the line of reflection and the
line in going to it the line of
incidence. 57

After that Harry took a
new laid egg and made a
hole in the small end of it c*12
putting it under the reciever
of he airpump in an aleglass
and the pressure of the bub
ble found in the boroad d*12
end of new laid eggs
forced all the contents
of the egg out into the
aleglass. 58

Then

h

H

arry took a smsmall
glass can filled with wa
ter and three little im‐
ges flooating at the top e*12
he then tied little weights
to them so that they f*12

desecended to the bottom

 

but
on removing the air they
ascended to the top dragg‐
ing the weights after them 59
The time had been so g*12
pleasantly taken up by these
experiments that Harry did h*12
not hear his mother call
him and he staid away
a whole hour later than i*12
he should have done for
he always went to his les
sons at twelve and he staid
till one but now he went to j*12
them chap I0

Harry now went out
upon the beach and k*12
dug a deep hole in it which
to his surprise he found l*12
full of different coloured sea
shells and what made it m*12
the more wonder was that
the further he dug the more
shells he found. He thothought
this would be a fine mine
to Lucy if she wocould get n*12
at the shells without o*12
dirtying her frock but he p*12
was afraid she would not he
led her to the place but he
found she could not so that
he was obliged to pick up
as many as he could reach

and go home.

Harry sat down to draw
and had just said How
very feweewpl people come to
this inn when another
carriage drove to the door.
Harry knew very well q*12
what it was and went r*12
on with his drawing s*12 but t*12
Lucy soon called him aw‐
ay and bid him observe
a great balack cloud from u*12
the north which seemed ra
ther electrical Harry ran
for an electrical apparatus which
his father had given him and the v*12
cloud electrified his apparatus positively
[Pencil drawing.—An enclosed, flowering garden being tended by a figure with a shovel or some other garden implement.]
after that another cloud came which
electrified his apparatus negatively
then a long train of smaller w*12
ones but before this cloud came
a great cloud of dust rose from
the ground and followed the pos
itive cloud and at length seemed
to come in contact with it and
whe the other cloud came x*12
a flash of lightning was seen
to dart through the cloud of y*12
dust upon which the negative
clouds spread very much and
dissolved in rain which pres
ently cleared the sky 60

After this phenomenomn was over z*12
and also the surprise Harry began
to wonder h

 to wonder a*13 how electricity
could get where there was b*13
so much water but he soon c*13
observed a rainbow and a d*13
rising mist under it which e*13
his fancy soon transfom
ed into a female form. He
then remembered the witch of
the waters at the Alps who
was raised from them by f*13
takeing some water in the g*13
hand and throwing it into
the air pronouncin some
unintelligbe words 61 And
though it was a tale it h*13
affected Harry now when
he saw in the clouds some‐
 thing
 like it
