uished.

How does the poem end? Ellen, her father, and
Malcolm Graeme are united and happy, and
Fitz-James reveals his identity and shows his
magnanimity.

What should be read in connection with the last
three stanzas? The first three stanzas of the
poem. They are an Invocation to Scottish
minstrelsy. We now have the Farewell.

Which cantos do you consider are the best? The
first and the fifth.

Why? The first contains such wonderful
word-pictures and the fifth seems to be the
crisis of the story. The interest is not
sustained in the sixth canto, as one knows
matters are sure to be adjusted.

CHAPTER IX

SELECTIONS FOR MEMORIZATION

Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Make our earth an Eden,
Like the heaven above.
--BREWER

God make my life a little light,
Within the world to glow,--
A little flame that burneth bright.
Wherever I may go.

The world is so full of a number of things,
I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings.

For dearer is kindness
And better than gold.

Politeness is to _do_ and _say_

Two ears and only one mouth have you;
The reason, I think, is clear:
It teaches, my child, that it will not do
To talk about all you hear.

Whene'er a task is set for you,
Don't idly sit and view it,
Nor be content to wish it done;
Begin at once and do it.

Work while you work, play while you play;
This is the way to be cheerful and gay.
All that you do, do with your might;
Things done by halves are never done right.
--STODART

Five things observe with care,--
Of whom you speak, to whom you speak
And how, and when, and where.
--GRAY

See that little sunbeam
Darting through the room,
Scattering the darkness,
Lighting up the gloom.
Let me be a sunbeam
