s. Suddenly he stopped and listened to the rain.
"I hope the squirrels in the apple tree have plenty of nuts to-night,"
said he.
At half past eight, Bobby went upstairs to bed. Mother tucked him in and
told him a good-night story. It was about Daniel in the Lion's Den that
night.
When she came down, Father was reading his paper on one side of the
table. Across from him, John sat reading a book. Sue was softly playing
on the piano.
Mother stopped a moment in the doorway to enjoy the scene.
"Winter time or Summer time, home is best," she thought.
Then she took her place in the easy chair which John had drawn up for
her near the lamp, and opened her book to read.
Upstairs, Bobby lay awake for some time, listening to the wind and rain.
Then he fell asleep and dreamed that he was in the hayfield playing with
Rover; and the sound he heard was not the storm but the hum of the mower
cutting the clover.
