asked with a beaming smile. 'Isn't your nurse with you this afternoon?' 'No; we're taking a walk. Open the gates, please.' But this the old man did not seem willing to do. 'Won't ye come into my little parlour here, and pay me a visit? My niece, Jane, is away to market to-day, and I be very lonely. Old Bob has a lot of pretty things in his room.' [Illustration] Roland hesitated, but when Olive with sparkling eyes ran in at the open door, he followed, saying,-- 'We always like to pay visits, so if you're a good and nice man we'll come in.

[Illustration] The old man laughed, and his quaint, old-fashioned room, with a cheery fire and bright coloured prints round the walls, delighted his little guests.
