In this garden lived many birds of surpassing beauty and most rapturous song, and among them was one that they called Joyous, for that he did ever carol forth so joyously, it mattered not what the day soever might be. IN THIS GARDEN LIVED MANY BIRDS OF SURPASSING BEAUTY AND MOST RAPTUROUS SONG AND AMONG THEM WAS ONE THAT THEY CALLED JOYOUS FOR THAT HE DID EVER CAROL FORTH SO JOYOUSLY IT MATTERED NOT WHAT THE DAY SOEVER MIGHT BE
sages were full of sweet tidings; for, even though they slept, the little children smiled. This have I seen, and there is none who loveth little children that will deny the truth of this thing which I have now solemnly declared. [Illustration: The strange allegory of the lame boy's speech filled her with awe.] Of that land of Ever-Plaisance was our little Mistress Merciless ever fain to hear tell. But when she beset the rest of us to speak thereof we knew not what to say other than to confirm such reports as Master Sweetheart had already made. For when it cometh to knowing of that far-off land,--ah me, who knoweth more than the veriest little child? And oftentimes within the bosom of a little, helpless, fading one there bloometh a wisdom which sages cannot comprehend. So when she asked us we were wont to bid her go to Master Sweetheart, for he knew the truth and spake it. It is now to tell of an adventure which on a time befell in that full fair garden of which you have heard me speak. ISS THOSE LITTLE SLEEPING CHILDREN AND WHISPER GOD'S MESSAGE OF LOVE TO THEM AND I KNEW THAT THOSE MESSAGES WERE FULL OF SWEET TIDINGS FOR EVEN THOUGH THEY SLEPT THE LITTLE CHILDREN SMILED THIS HAVE I SEEN AND THERE IS NONE WHO LOVETH LITTLE CHILDREN THAT WILL DENY THE TRUTH OF THIS THING WHICH I HAVE NOW SOLEMNLY DECLARED OF THAT LAND OF EVER PLACENCE WAS OUR LITTLE MISTRESS MERCILESS EVER FAIN TO HEAR TELL BUT WHEN SHE BESET THE REST OF US TO SPEAK THEREOF WE KNEW NOT WHAT TO SAY OTHER THAN TO CONFIRM SUCH REPORTS AS MASTER SWEETHEART HAD ALREADY MADE FOR WHEN IT COMETH TO KNOWING OF THAT FAR OFF LAND AH ME WHO KNOWETH MORE THAN THE VARIOUS LITTLE CHILD AND OFTENTIMES WITHIN THE BOSOM OF A LITTLE HELPLESS FADING ONE THERE BLOOMETH A WISDOM WHICH SAGES CANNOT COMPREHEND SO WHEN SHE ASKED US WE WERE WONT TO BID HER GO TO MASTER SWEETHEART FOR HE KNEW THE TRUTH AND SPAKE IT IT IS NOW TO TELL OF AN ADVENTURE WHICH ON A TIME BEFELL IN THAT FULL FAIR GARDEN OF WHICH YOU HAVE HEARD ME SPEAK
